Always getting exactly what you want is impossible of course , so settling for something less than what you truly want is something that can not be avoided . It is how you deal with them that counts . Each choice that you make has an affect of your life and every facet of it .
So how can we make choices that reflect our inner guidance and are not self-sabotaging ?
There is a very subtle difference between ‘ settling ’ for something and ‘ choosing ’ something as a passive choice . If you know that you ’ ve settled for less than you truly wanted , then expect to feel compromised for as long as you are in the situation .
Take time to reflect upon what really matters in your life . Discern the difference between what you want and what you need in your life . Choosing what you need is your ‘ soul path ’, although what we need may not necessarily be what we want . The path of what we need often anchors us in challenges that serve our
life purpose . We discover our greatest talents and inner resources when following the path of what we need in our lives . When making choices based upon the premise of ‘ I may want to do this - but I know I need to do that ’, you are able to discern your choice based upon your true value system that is in harmony with your true self .
Choosing what you know resonates with your soul and such an approach to your life may not necessarily make your decisions easier , but wisdom and inner clarity makes navigating your life a much more fulfilling experience .
