Reflections! On choosing the right path!

 


Reflections! On choosing the right path!




There was a time - nay, actually many times I had felt so and asked this question "So tell me, where shall I go? To the left, where nothing's right? Or to the right, where there's nothing left?" 

Now, if you were to advice me or answer me on this, what would your advice/answer be to me? Where would you suggest I go and why? 


( I could have translated this thing but the flavour would be lost in doing so...so please bear with me on this....I could still do it if you still please though....)

...Where shall I go? When To the left, nothing's right Or to the right where there's nothing left?...🙃😀❤
I love this ...👍
I will move between left and right and chalk out a middle path... and keep moving as consciously as I can... As I move consciously I will hope to find the right way which might be left, right or centre... or it might be a path I never thought of (which invariably is the case)... I will allow my awareness & Reiki to guide me through the way that unfolds in front of me...

I worked as a CEO in a company in Ahmedabad... it was a challenging job becoz we were new in the field and not a known brand, cash flow was a major issue & attracting talent and retaining people was difficult... I managed a successful collaboration with an excellent foreign partner and get a couple of major contracts...things eased up but the basic issue of cash flow remained as the real problem was related to the company's other interests where money was leaking & we were a small part of the whole picture... I realized there was nothing much I cud do about it... In the end I too left, but not after learning some precious lessons... There is only that much we can do, even if we have done our best and it was a tremendous effort...

So sometimes when I go left where nothing is 'right' I face all the realities of this situation, and sometimes when I go right where nothing is 'left' - again I embrace whatever the situation has to offer... now as I get to know the situation in its totality...  I then allow my intuition to guide me in the 'right' direction... and do whatever best can be done in right earnest... Also in the entire process I will do my best to keep my ego, likes, dislikes & expectations aside so that I 'see' the situation the way it 'is' and 'flow' with the realities & respond appropriately...

Love & Gratitude ❤ 🙏

I had been processing this for a while now and think I have my thoughts together. It does get convoluted when we use logic. When I think about how I dealt with such situation in life and it’s outcome I figured that whatever decision I took I needed to own the decision and it’s consequences. The fact that I have to make such a decision is because of my own karma. This situation is only helping me overcome that karma once and for all. So, it’s best to sit back, heal, own it up, review my role, figure out what I can do and give it an honest try.

Introspection with an open mind leads to more clarity; willingness to go through it helps face the situation; and healing helps with clarity, will and in almost all cases it clears our path. This makes it easier to move forward. For all I know things will fall in place and it will help me decide whether to take right or left or any other path. There is no need to judge others or dump my expectations on them or complain about the situation - the more we do it the more we will create it. It’s like a quagmire.

Sometimes all we need to do is to know the probable consequences of the options available, accept it, make the decision and take ownership of our decision and it’s outcome.

I think there is more here for me to understand. So, I will keep working on it.
