Are we like Alice in Wonderland?

Alice came to a fork in the road.
"Which road do I take?" she asked.
"Where do you want to go?" responded the Cheshire cat.
"I don't know," Alice answered.
"Then," said the cat, "it doesn't matter."
~Lewis Carroll

When searching for direction, especially on the road of life, it's refreshing to run across someone with perspective like the clever feline. In this world we seem to have been trained to expect something other than genuine honesty. "Where do you want to go?", truly is the question.

We all know that direction needs a clear destination and inner purpose. Of course, to help us keep on track a compass comes in handy. From time to time we all reach a point of questioning where we loose our points of reference and choose to not look at our compass. It's OK.

Remember, this seemingly fearful time is really our internal "alert" system letting us know that we are still committed to our inner truth of "life purpose". We are letting ourselves know that we are merely in need of a course correction. Afterall, pilots flying from the mainland to Hawaii are constantly making course corrections to land on a dime on an island in the Pacific called paradise.

Once we understand that we are still on track and merely making a course correction we are no longer embarrassed or condemning. Instead we find validity in knowing we are still committed to our "life purpose" and are able to get on course once again.

This is your life and posses a unique "life purpose". Use your internal compass and celebrate the "Wonderment" of your life's purpose. Allow it to unfold each day as you make course corrections to ultimately reach the destination of "YOU" which is the unfolding of your "life purpose" in the "AzureEdge".
