How Do You Know You’re on the Right Path?

This is always a tricky question for people seeking to be engaged in their lives. How do you know when a goal you’ve set is the best goal for you?

Answering “yes” to those questions is the starting place for knowing you’re on the right path. I’ve gotten this far a number of times in my life, but then I get stalled. At least, it feels that way. The ultimate indicator of being on purpose is when unexpected events make your path easier.

Last week, I had very good evidence that my decisions of late have been in the right direction. First of all, I decided to concentrate my efforts on writing. I’ve continued to write weekly articles and I’ve started research on my book about co-parenting. In addition to feeling good about and being productive with my writing, I’ve had a few unexpected doors open to me.

Many people offered to help with my co-parenting research and I’ve already started doing the interviews. I’ve had excellent feedback from many areas about the need for such a book. Then yesterday, I got a phone call from the great folks at www.selfgrowth.com offering me a featured writer position. This offer is amazing. It’s exactly what I need and is costing me very little. I had just said last week, that the place I’d really like to make a splash is at Self Growth. Suddenly the cosmic waitress delivers my dream!

This kind of unfolding is what tells me I made the right decision and I am moving in the right direction. I put in my order  to the Universe and the cosmic waitress delivered. I feel totally blessed. When the whole thing is set up and you can see all the benefits I’ve gotten at Self Growth, I’ll let you know. In the meanwhile, imagine me sitting at my keyboard, smiling and appreciative as I design my life.

While I’m here, I’ll imagine you are there, designing your life so that your dreams come true! I look forward to hearing from you.
