To See, Look Inside

It’s funny.  The older I get, the less often I look to others to figure out what it is I truly want.

As children, we are told what we should want, and eventually, I believe we stop looking inside and instead look for approval for our wants and desire. They are transformed from desires to shoulds.  We should want a high paying job, a large home, a family with the 2.5 kids (or however many kids they say).

“Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakens.”~Carl Jung

But what if, as you pursue these “shoulds”, you feel your heart screaming for something else?  Will you stop and listen?

JOY Challenge:

What does MY Heart want for me today, and what would it take for me to give that to myself?
