Spring Questions
March 22, 2009
From Cathy:
In the last 2 weeks much has come together for me. Things which I have awaited for a year.. work, grievances forgiven and overcome, references, loves, more work, a feeling of goodness, .. just so much good has come in lately..
I am feeling overwhelmed. Sometimes I am so happy I have to be careful with others.
I have plenty of challenges left. I still have not planned my trip to volunteer teach.. job interviews may stretch out again.. I am getting them .. that is good, but knowing when to make the airline reservations is tricky.
So it is deciding between yoga teaching training.. its a 2 week intensive.. and the trip.. What my friend do you think?
Thank you for all you do.
I have been reading your responses to others. There are some very clear and helpful important answers and knowledge there.
Inspirations from Binah:
There was a time when I feared making a flight reservation too far in advance. I waited patiently for all the signs confirming that everything was solidly in place before clicking “purchase”. The problem was, those signs never came. People don’t get back to you when you expect them to, job interviews take longer than you are told… therefore, I was stuck home instead of out living life. Ultimately, you have to make a decision based on the only thing you can rely on, yourself.
A teaching intensive can be great for your career, but if your heart is set on volunteering, are you really going to focus on what you are learning? Conversely, would you enjoy your volunteering if you are constantly thinking about the training you are missing? Set aside the external factors for a minute and just listen to what your inner guidance is telling you is best at this time. If you are meant to do them both, opportunities will materialize in the future.
Once you understand what you desire, add back all the mitigating factors, one at a time, and double check that your choice still feels right. By the time you are done, you will not only have your answer, you will truly enjoy it because your decision process balanced your wants and needs. Whatever you decide, feel confident that it will take you where you need to go… and you’ll probably have some fun on your way there.
