When asked where you are heading, what will your answer be?

Do you know?

Where would you like to be heading?

 

My parents and older sister welcomed me into the world. As part of the Klint family I was well cared for and loved. Having been raised by well meaning and hard working parents whose parents worked hard at providing for the daily needs, the idea of dreaming, ambition and goal setting was not on our minds. Something I eventually became aware of was that my choices had consequences. And much later, the power of my own choices and the freedom to choose has brought a whole new awareness and intentionality to my life.

 

I have had people ridicule and giggle at me and my dreams. I have seen people bewildered at how things happen or come to pass in my life. I have had people tell me how impressed they are at my “big faith”… -I have always had a drive within to do things. I also learned fairly young that if I insist on doing those things, I will have to accept the fact that I may have to do it alone… Never have I been impressed with my own “faith”. Never has fear not shown its ugly face as part of the journey. Never did I not think that failure was avoidable.

 

I remember when I was in my thirties. Death and sickness, being a mother of young in a foreign culture and lack of support led me into a downward spiral where I couldn’t dream and struggled to hold on to hope. I asked God for help… It hasn’t been smooth sailing, but I do have a lot to be grateful for. And now, in my sixties, I am more hopeful than ever.

 

Yes, our bodies are aging ( BUT how that happens is still very much affected by OUR CHOICES!) but I believe our true Being can become ever more amazing (growing, blooming, dreaming…).

 

Take the time to understand what you want. Set your sight on it and set your directives towards it. It may not happen in big steps, but at least the trajectory is set in the right direction!
