When you ask the universe Why am I Here? and it lets you know. Loudly and clearly. Don&#8217;t get thrown. The soul&#8217;s siren song is always broadcasting and could care less about your thoughts, plans, etc. The soul doesn&#8217;t make any distinctions between light and dark, doesn&#8217;t care about pain or heartache, and absolutely doesn&#8217;t want to hear what you think you should be doing. It worries not over failure, or success. \u00a0It knows what it knows. It is a soul&#8217;s calling. Your code. The reason you are here.<\/p>\n<p>In listening to these quieter certain voices within we understand the process of faith in our intuition of who we can be. Who we are to become and allow us to embrace all that we are.<\/p>\n<p>These first lines of a Pablo Narudo poem written near the end of his career looking back at his beginnings brings the feeling to life in the poetic language&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Something ignited in my soul, fever or unremembered wings, and I went my own way deciphering that burning fire.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The heart and soul only cares that you do it your way.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Something ignited in my soul&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Give this all the oxygen it needs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I went my own way deciphering that burning fire.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Listen to what is being called for.<\/p>\n<p>Take the next step even though it is scary.<\/p>\n<p>Listen to what you know you need to do and please do it.
