Signs and Trusting them

I think everybody's done it..

That nagging voice, or the gut feeling: "should I" or "shouldn't I"

There's always a choice in doing something, or not. Is it a knee jerk reaction stopping you from doing "X"? is it your brain thinking you out of it? is it your gut saying "Give 'er"?

The one who always dives in is consdiered "reckless".. the one always saying no: spineless.. is it a label that keeps you from doing what you want?

Some sage advice i've gotten over the past few months began as a small "crackpot" seed planted in my brain has germinated into something i'm now wishing i'd done earlier in life.. if you don't know the answer, "ask"..

the "crackpot" part of this is based on the idea that something out there is watching over us.. what ever it is (or whatever *they* is..) truly wants us to be ultimately happy and safe.. i say ultimately, because there's sometimes a whole lot of misery one must endure to truly appreciate the happiness you're entitled to..

so here's the thing.. "Ask".. then watch for signs..

if you're not sure about a situation, or what to do, a "normal" methodology is to bounce an idea off of someone you trust, right?

so who better to trust, than someone who's looking out for you? If you "Ask", out loud, in your head, *however* you decide to do it, they'll get the opportunity to tell you..

then watch for signs.. a song on the radio that catches your ear.. a bilboard that catches your eye... your gut reaction to actually hearing the question out loud.. the form of the answer you need will be specific to you, and you'll resonate with it..  just be open to looking for it, and *trusting* the sign.. even if it makes your heart heavy to do so..  because remember, its your ULTIMATE happiness that they're looking to give you (which may mean not being happy "right now")

so take a chance.. have some faith.. or at worst, give it a shot sometime when you're just plain really not sure about something.. Ask, watch for signs, then trust..

oh, and as far as that "crackpottery" go's.. some would call it angels.. some would call it god, or allah.. or pick your diety.. call it whatever makes you comforatable,

because it also could be just "you"...
