Are You Where You Want To Be ?

Have you ever experienced the profound knowledge of knowing you are exactly where you are supposed to be, doing what you are meant to be doing?

Things fall into place, the path is finally leveling out and the mountain that has seemed so difficult to climb appears no more then a slight bump in the road. The inner knowing that you are truly satisfied with what is being achieved, that the steep long climb has been worth while. Peace and harmony with all that is abounds and the feeling of connectedness to the entire universe, source and God bathes you in the most beautiful energy.

Why is it when we are climbing the mountain, the mountain seems so formidable? Perhaps our perceptions of our life, experiences and circumstances become our main focus and we lose sight of who we truly are and our purpose. We forget we are energy, the same energy as source, as God. Our faith waivers, trust dissipates and we fight harder to obtain the balance we so desperately crave. However, the harder we fight, the more resistance we produce and thus, the steeper the climb to the summit.

The key here is to release resistance, stop the fight. Go with the flow and move in the direction that the universe is offering. When we stop resisting the tide, stop swimming upstream and depleting our energy, we then grant permission for the universe, source, God to guide us to where we need to be at any given time, doing what is needed. Once we permit this, we notice changes, some profound others sublte. They may include different types of people entering your life, new directions and a change in attitude and a deeper connection with the inner voice.

So “Go with the flow” and don't resist.

Hey there stranger
Do you remember?
You were a part of my life
Early December
Think I remember?
Sentiment cuts like a knife
The seasons are changing
Life's rearranging
Full of could've dones
Would've beens
It's all your fault
And where have you been
And how time goes
And now I dont even know
How to fill in the spaces
of the love you erased in my life

Are you where you want to be?
Did you get there easily?
Did they make you sacrifice?
Did you make a sharp left
When you should've turned right?
Are you where you want to be?
Did you sell off all of your gold
Did you trade it in?
Did you wait for love
Or settle for somebody to hold?

And barely symphonic
But strangely ironic
Moments contained in one glance
Oh how I adored you
But now I'm ignored by you
No evidence of romance
And now it's vaguely familiar
I think I remember sharing every single intimacy
It doesn't seem so strange to me that we barely entertained
Even the politest of phrases
But sometimes at night
I conjure you up in my mind

Are you where you want to be?
Did you get there easily?
Did they make you sacrifice?
Did you make a sharp left
When you should've turned right?
Are you where you want to be?
Did you sell off all of your gold
Did you trade it in?
Did you wait for love
Or settle for somebody to hold?

While I was busy
Perfecting the art
Of deflecting compliments
I took it too far
And I let a ripple run right through my heart
Of battle stations we're building
You and I just grew apart
We grow apart

While I decided
To make everyone else happy
I just put aside
My foolish pride
I guess I denied
My own desire
I was too busy pleasing
To ever be pleased
I forgot how to breathe
Or question anything
Or ask why?
Am I?

Am I where I want to be?
Did I get here easily?
Did I make a sacrifice?
Did I take a sharp left
When I should've turned right?
Am I where I want to be?
Can I sell of all of my gold?
Can I trade it in?
Will I wait for Love
Or settle for somebody to hold

I'd settle for somebody to hold now

You know that I've been up and I've been down
I've been picked up and spun around
I'd do it all again
If I could just have somebody to hold now
I just need somebody to hold me now
Could somebody hold me now?
I just want somebody to hold me now
I'd do it all again
