Signs are everywhere.
Stop. Beware of Dog. No Trespassing. Smoking Prohibited. Open. Closed.
These are all signs that tell us - specifically - what we need to know. But my favorite signs are the ones that are not tangible. Ones you can't directly touch or see. The ones that are guided by our intuition. The ones that we piece together ourselves. A fleeting moment of "Eureka!"
There are no accidents, no coincidences.
Sometimes you might find yourself - to quote David Byrne - asking, "Well, how did I get here?" Why do I live where I live? What made me choose the profession I'm in? Why did I fall for the person I'm with? Your entire life is made up of choices. Do this or do that. A or B. Option 1 or option 2. If you pick option 1 instead of option 2, that opens up an entire realm and universe of new choices. All of the old choices disappear. You'll make wrong choices. No one ever makes the right choices all of the time. No one.
But eventually, if you're lucky, you'll find yourself saying "This is where I'm meant to be." It might take 20 years, it might take 50 years. But everyone gets there.
Never, ever stop looking for signs. Pay attention to what the universe is offering you.
Oh so true! And sometimes when the choice wasn't really the one you wanted to make...it can have surprising results!
