Follow 'YOUR' Yellow-Brick road

As we bid farewell to the end of yet another year and prepare for the sunrise of a new and glorious 2012, here's another opportunity for you to 'get it right'  or at least come as close to 'right' through action as you possibly can.  Will you continue to listen to voices that don't sound like yours? Will you continue to compromise your value system for 'status quo' and respond to mediocrity or will you honestly take inventory and surrender to the You that needs to live and breathe on the outside?  How long will you continue to hold yourself hostage?

Sure, everyone who claims to love you feels they have your very best interest at heart, when they indirectly/unintentionally and persistently convince you that you're doing just fine with the way things are. Do they honestly know what that 'best' is as it relates to you? Only YOU can recognize the genuine call of your name, your passion, your gift. Most often, those suggestions from others will be inconsistent with what you've been authentically equipped with for the journey. I know, you don't want to take a risk, because you have no idea what's around the corner.  You might be thinking, what if you step out and make a mistake.......then again, what if you step out and succeed? You'll never know either way, unless you step out......so.....Step! Dance, sing, paint, write, speak, sell, travel, just do whatever the call is directing you to do. 

 Yes, that call is God, your truth, your passion, your heart, leading you in the direction of what has been planted inside of you.  It needs to be released or you'll never be at peace....you'll wrestle because there's a growth inside of you, fully mature, that wants to be born.....Release it! It has reached full maturity and it needs to breathe! It needs to continue to grow and it can only do that when it has been given room to spread its wings. 

 Those around you may hear a tune, but it's faint and sure, it's something that you can sing and dance along to, but the true symphony of your life, only YOU can hear and you hear it the loudest.  I hope the sound drowns out everything around you this year until you address it and follow the road that it's leading you to. The compass/longing that is leading you to that place where you'll give birth to what has been growing inside of you all of this time is the only voice you should be listening to - the pull, the tug of that voice in that compass,.....in your spirit.

Today is your day......this is the year.......Step out....risk and gain the reward of receiving the Love that you'll share by giving birth to YOU! You can hear your calling the loudest.....Respond!
May your year be filled with all good things that derive from Love, Peace and a true Awakening of You!  We all have a roadmap for our assigned journeys.  Everyone is not travelling your way....it doesn't mean you don't care about their journey, it simply means that you must be accountable to the life that you were given and bless those as they journey on their assignments.  Roads will merge and then roads move in opposite directions.  Make sure that you are adhering to the compass for YOUR journey and not travelling on the road that doesn't scream your name! It's time for you to 'Follow YOUR yellow-brick road.'

 Happy New Year! -BG
