"All my life I want to be a bride married to amazement." Mary Oliver
I have a voice inside of me that until recently, I rarely listened to. It's been there since I was a child. You may be thinking at this point, "Ok. I'm done with this wackadoo. Now she's hearing voices!? I'm out!" Well, I ask you not to run out on me just yet because odds are, you have that voice too.
It's faint and it's shy. It hides out deep inside your nooks waiting to jump out and be heard when something inspires you. It isn't rational and it doesn't play safe. It's risky, passionate, spontaneous, wild and for the brief moment it's there, it feels so good.
Tama Kiev, author of Inspired & Unstoppable, says it's the voice of love. She also calls it "the inspired voice." So many of us have witnessed its spark only to have our rational sides take over and put out the fire. So what if we actually, for once, listened to that "inspired voice" that is in all of us? What if we locked up the fear that so often disguises itself as "good judgement" and listened to love? After all, maybe there is a reason why it's speaking to us. And can you imagine where you would be today if you listened to it?
The practical side of us plans our life, schedules our futures, programs our GPS. All of it to avoid getting lost, misguided and possibly hurt. It's ingrained in all of us to make the safe choice even if it means being unfulfilled. After all, as Tama Kieve states in her book, "we can't plan an inspired life." What is most scary about that is the fact that there isn't an outline. All there is, is TRUST. How can we trust something we can't hold or touch? It's just a voice, an idea, a feeling......a noodle. What if we trust and then it comes back to haunt us? Or worse, what if we trust and it hurts?
What if is a hard thing to swallow........but what if you listen to your "inspired voice" and you are happy, fulfilled, successful, in love? What if you never get the chance to know how inspired your life can truly be?
Listen to the voice......throw the noodle :)
