Are you on track?

Are you living the life you’re supposed to live?

Or the one you deserve?

Are you following the gentle voice inside?

Is your bliss guiding you?

I have experienced those questions many times.

They came up a lot in my life, especially in recent years, and I’ve contemplated them, investigated them, and followed up on them.

Sometimes they make total sense and feel totally inspiring (and many blogs are effortlessly created).

And sometimes they seem nothing but bullshit.

I love the notion of The Hero’s Journey, where you leave the village to face a challenge, overcome many hardships, and return with loads of victory and wisdom.

For storytelling creatures that stuff is amazing.

Just like karma.

Synchronicity.

Soulmates.

Serendipity.

The everyday fairytales.

We can see them.

We can believe it.

We can even depend on it and build our lives around it.

Many of us do.

So what if there are no REAL tracks, to begin with?

What if there’s no ‘life you’re supposed to live’?

Well, do whatever feels good anyway.

If you can.

Take life and run with it.
