I decide to try an experiment.
For the next two weeks, I am only going to do what I feel "pulled" to do.
I'll just tune in to Spirit and listen to my Self.
I will follow my intuition and only do what
I feel moved to do in every moment.
So I listen. Then I tell myself something big and important.
It's so important that I'm going to capitalize it.
"QUIT FUTURE-FEARING. It's not happening now.
Be in this moment.
Just be in this moment happening right now."

I start to settle into a deeper place of quiet in my soul,
and each day begins to feel more and more like a living meditation.
I try to catch myself every time I start future-fearing about work,
money, relationships, or moving, and focus back on the present.
So here I am in the present moment,
deciding what I want to happen now.
Right now. In this now.

Decision by decision, I see how my path is unfolding organically.
In spite of all the uncertainty surrounding my life's purpose,
career, finances, relationships --
and all those other uncertainties --
this path is leading me somewhere.
It is up to me to listen and follow.
