Listening to your voice...

Following your heart and listening to your voice… the words spoken by many but not always carried out. Words that can bear a weight of uncertainty, a weight that can prove to be heavy if you realize that you haven’t exceeded in doing so. But along with a weight these words can change your journey, make the course unique and make your story your own.

I feel there are crucial times in our life that we have to listen to our voice. I think that more often than not the voice can be jumbled by voices of caution and voices telling us to have reason and to not do anything rash. We don’t want to make the wrong decision so in turn decide to stay where we are, time begins to tick and we are following a course that doesn’t seem to mere our heart. We convince ourselves that if we are not feeling fulfilled the answer is to stay and try to fix or mend what is broken, fix the life that seems to have come unraveled. But what if the answer is to take action, listen to what you know to be true, listen to your God that speaks to your heart, and carry out the decision that you know you already have made.



There are a few times in my life that I can look back on and see that I was truly able to hear myself. I was able to trust what all of the sudden became overwhelmingly obvious. I had to make a decision that at the time seemed too hard to make. Many times in our life the weight of the decision seems unbearable and creates a false sense that we are unable to do what our heart is so clearly leading us to do. I read something once that said as hard as it seemed to leave, even harder was the thought of staying. These words can be related to so many things. As I ponder on what it means to listen to your voice, It is not just about love or relationships, but it is about life. Jobs we take, or jobs we leave, places we go or places we decide are not right for us, deciding to stay or deciding to leave.


I have realized the feeling of freedom that comes from making a decision and carrying it out. I have realized that trusting my voice and relying on my faith gives me a sense of control and a peace of mind that what should be will be if I listen to my within. I am humbled knowing I am not alone for these feelings were given to me for a reason. When I am able to look back and see the course played out, it empowers me to continue to follow my heart. As I continue on I pray I am able to listen to my voice. I pray that I will continue to open my mind to new voices and new loves but remember to stay true to the one voice that will lead me to where I should be on my journey of life and love and travels.
