"Doubt is the result of conflicting wishes. Be sure of what you want and doubt becomes impossible." - A Course in Miracles

To be or not to be, that is the question. Exactly, and as long as we remain in that place of indecisiveness, the inevitable outcome is uncertainty and doubt. I am beginning to realize how much of a part doubt plays in my life, seems as though it is often the lead role. Which way should I go, what should I do, what do I want, I don't know? So many choices, opportunities, paths before me, which is a blessing, but all too often, can feel like a curse, just as much.

Take the latest "two roads diverged in a road" scenario. For the past seven months, I've been considering an opportunity to move to Asia to teach with the largest group of Yoga studios in the world called Pure Yoga. This has been one of the most challenging decisions I have ever had to make. Sometimes there are so many things I want. I want to be part of a diverse community of the best Yoga instructors in the world so I can continue to grow and learn and expand as a teacher. I want to ever-increasingly become the best teacher I can be, I want to see the world, travel, develop Yoga workshops, retreats, teacher trainings...I want to promote my new True Yoga DVD, create additional DVD's. I want to develop a radio show, have a Yoga program on TV, I want to be able to touch my feet to my head in Upward Facing Dog, grab a hold of my ankles in Wheel Pose, jump from Downward Facing Dog into a Handstand, hold the Handstand, and then land back in Downward Facing Dog. I want to be a part of the healing transformation of the planet, contributing to the awakening of peace in every heart and mind around the world, I want to start a non-profit charity which will provide Yoga classes to every school throughout the country and the world. I want to continue to teach and develop the incredible connections with the people I currently teach in my classes, I want to empower people, specifically women, to Awaken to their True Potential with every breath they breathe, I want to be a Force for Good and Awaken to my Highest Good...I want to experience the deepest connection possible with myself, my Creator and others, true unconditional love with a significant other, seeing the light/Divinity in myself and in others, not just sometimes, but all the time, I want to learn how to bi-locate, I'm not kidding, I do. I want to realize financial freedom, because I believe it is our God Given responsibility to do so, however that looks. I want to know the Truth, see the Truth, feel the Truth, be the Truth, and see the energy which is invisible to the eye, but igniting all things. "What is essential, is invisible to the eye."

So, how will I know if Asia is the "right" opportunity? Maybe the first part is to be clear about what I want, as the quote says. Then, I'll know, because it will either align with my wishes, or it won't.

These wishes are only the beginning, and they are ever-expanding. The vision is there, it's just knowing which vehicle is the best one to support me in getting there. But, I know, it's all Good. And, as Pattabhi Jois says, "It's all coming." I feel better already, just having taken time to express all of these wishes, is helping me to clear out my mind.

Thank Goodness for blogging.

And, for meditation, that's the next step, to take time to be still and listen.

I hope this inspires you to at least journal your wishes, so you can set yourself free of doubt and be filled with Faith and confidence...
