It’s time to follow the leader, but only if that leader is you. Only you can direct your soul to true happiness.
Over the Easter holiday I had an urge to dye eggs. Without a single person in my house under the age of ten, it seemed like a ridiculous pursuit. Memories of dunking eggs in brightly colored water and drawing crude or exotic designs on them would not leave me alone. I even asked several people if they were dyeing eggs. I intended to invite myself to their festivities. No luck. When the urge would not dissipate, I finally listened to my true leader. Me. I followed my heart and threw my own Egg-Dyeing Bash. The only attendee: Me. Not only was it fun, it was therapeutic.
I only dyed seven eggs. This small gesture forced me to examine how many times I wanted to do something that would bring me joy and dropped the idea because it didn’t conform to some idea of the norm. I think I’ve learned my lesson. Listen to my counsel, more often than not it will help me get where I want to be. Is your inner leader whispering something in your ear?
