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?

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