The inner voice
I have been thinking of a few things over the past few days, about future choices that I need to make going forward, getting back to work, how to manage work and home, my girls , schedules , timelines, holidays ....homework ... do this or not do that .....the list can go on and on...and must admit its not easy , although its very everyday...and hajjar people deal with this daily !
Everyone has their own way of dealing with these situations, I get into a discussion and then introspection mode , Andy just goes for a walk and has it all figured out, some people meditate, some cry ..get into a shell of their own.... some just seem to be so in control of what comes at them .
There is a certain anxiety over a few things that I need to figure out given a lot of variables are currently not in my control at this point in time and there are some things that no one just no one but you can do for yourself.. it's you who will need to take the decision / make that choice and it is just one of those times right NOW . Grrrrrrrr! As simple as it sounds " Life is a lot about choices" and finding answers to the ocean of thoughts and feelings that flood us.
Taking me back to my growing up years , Didi somehow would always have an answer or things figured out given she always goes by her gut feeling:) or may be they seemed so to me given I was small then , now ofcourse its always a discussion mode between us . I remember each time I would be troubled or trying to maneuver around a difficult situation my brother vikram would always say " simu just listen to your heart , your Inner voice and it will guide you, it will tell you what to do" and it has ....it's just about trusting that inner voice and not letting anything else override it including the logical thought process supporting facts ,analysis around it! ..the consultant in me speaking now :)
It's funny how something that seems like SUCH a big issue can get resolved so easily , a sudden spark a sudden thought or just sudden voice and BINGO there it is all so crystal clear !!
Today lost in thought as I stared aimlessly into the playground thinking through a logical and practical solution Vs an only emotional one a voice from deep within echoed , as filmy as it may sound , it's true, I heard an inner voice which said the same thing again and again ...kind of guiding me :)
As I write this piece, I wonder to myself why I am writing this, is to clear my own mind, may be yes , BUT its also because some day when my daughters "Follow" my blog, I would like for them to know and believe that their inner voices will never ever guide them wrong, all they need to do is follow that voice and BELIEVE - a value I try and imbibe in them now as they figure life out through their inquisitiveness and excitement living with joy each day and always having something to look forward to.
