It is great to establish a personal spiritual practice, listening to your inner voice and looking for guidance from someone or something bigger than yourself. At times you may fall victim to codependency upon that spiritual guide to look for signs directing you to go left or right, and end up going nowhere fast. In reality you have more than one option, you can move left, right, up, down, or sideways. You even go so far as to convince yourself that there is ONLY one right way and that answer will be revealed to you if you just pray, meditate read the astrological signs, or ask Siri. Sound familiar? You may in fact have some pretty good reasons for why you pursue a spiritual deep connection. Trouble ensues when you won't move without a sign and find yourself stuck in a descending cycle of doubt and dismay...as you wait. Instead walk toward a choice and put a stake in the ground. In this week's Sun-day design I want you to figure out what you're waiting for by telling the truth about what exactly it is you fear. The reason you are looking for some signal outside of yourself is because you're looking for some guarantee against that very thing you fear, and since there is practically little to slim chance to protect yourself against all fears - all the time you have to decide to move or sit on sidelines watching life go by. The lesson, the movement, the progress may very well be in simply making A decision. Do you stay in the game, do you continue this relationship, do you finally stick to your love rules once and for all? There is immense power in prayer, meditation and other sources for connecting to others, something bigger, your greater self. I want you to stop and seek, more than stop and wait. Recognize the answer probably arrived - you might have missed it in your persistence to have the message packaged and delivered in a specific tangible way. It's also quite possible the answer has not arrived. That's okay too, take it as a cue that right now stillness is a path. Listen, learn, and lead your next move.

Day, I'm so glad you see that waiting for the right sign can inadvertently hold you back. And you're so right, each of us will have a chance to face that fear again. Time to soar!
