"Whispers"
Welcome to October—and—the beginning of the rush to the end of the year. As we move more deeply into this season of change, its colors remind us that change is the only thing we can count on.
With this in mind, let's revisit the importance of what I call "Road Signs" and dive a bit more deeply into all the info that they offer us—especially when we're willing to not only read them but also then act on what they're telling us.
Just like when we're driving, there are any number of directions that help guide us along
the way. They can be as simple as a stop sign or as complicated as the route a detour might offer us—and anything in between. The point is, when we pay attention to these signposts, our journey—be it a long one or a short one—is easier, isn't it?
So let's take this practice into
our day to day lives and not leave it by the side of the road, shall we?
For example, when you're in a particular situation, are you getting the indication to "proceed with caution"? "yield"? "stop"? True—the signs are no longer literal, they are metaphors in the moment. However, their info is no less important, is it?
And once we're well-versed and comfortable reading those obvious signs, the next step is to dive more deeply into these metaphors and see what we can glean without obvious directions. I call it listening to the whispers—those moments where there's the tiniest bit of info that comes our way, almost
"under the radar": "Psssst! Heads up!"
We've all known those moments—especially when we've chosen not to heed them. So then the question becomes:
Do You listen to and heed "Whispers"?
(2:16)?
