Messages....

It doesn't matter what anybody else thinks because you're the one living your life. Friends, family, even complete strangers on reality shows have opinions and that's great. Those opinions suit them for their life. Does their 2 cents apply to your life? Does it feel right? Sometimes we want advice so badly we'll take whatever we can get.
I believe the Universe is always sending us messages if we're paying attention but the other stuff is just junk. We need to be able to decipher and filter out the good, important stuff, the gold nuggets of information from the rest of the garbage. But you need to go back to the question, "does it feel right?". The most common answer is "I'm not sure.". The best way to be positive is stop...... literally stop unless of course you're driving. If you're driving, turn down the radio. Now take a deep breath, a breath so deep you inhale right down to your toes. Ask yourself the question again. Now pay attention to your body's reactions. How did your body react? Good feeling or bad feeling. If you're still not sure, keep trying. Practice makes perfect.
Also notice your body's reactions to the people around you. Do you feel drained or uplifted? Some so-called friends and family can be toxic to your spirit if you do not protect yourself. I wish I could avoid every person who sucks the energy out of me like an emotional vampire but unfortunately, I accepted that isn't always possible.
I know messages are everywhere but I don't always notice them. Like lately, I'm dropping things or things are falling down around me. The first part is I'm not grasping on to something. Not sure what though. I don't know exactly what the second one means. Maybe my reality is crumbling down around me. Pretty morbid.
Or then there is constantly asking a question and not noticing a reply. If there is a reply, it's not always obvious. And if you're like me, you need it obvious. If you really need an answer and there isn't one appearing, do everything to avoid the desperation zone. Distract yourself in any way possible which makes it an excellent excuse to work on that hobby. If you don't have one..... find one. All of it is important to staying balanced in the meantime.
And then there are dreams...... Dreams are another way to receive important answers to questions. They're not as weird as they seem at first glance. It's all about symbolism.
But the point is, life is not random. There is a reason for everything so start figuring out why you're on the path in front of you.
