Sometimes we get so busy in our lives that we don't have time to reflect on what is really going on, not until blatant signs from the Universe transpire. Sometimes stagnation can lead to too much time on our hands. I remember the saying; "an idle mind is the devils playground". Meaning it is the perfect time for many issues to surface and to distinguish between reality, illusions and the truth. Then we start to see the entire painting of truth and its many colours and facets. Only then can the "true observations" begin, and then we can move forward returning balance into our daily life.
Trust the wisdom within, by focusing on where you want to be in the future is key. Keep focused on the goals which lay closest to your heart while the light shines on your journey.
Life is always full of new adventures!
