There are a plethora of choices when it comes to leaders and ways of life.  You can find various styles and personalities in every realm of business  academics, spirituality, and politics. We are going to follow something.  Choosing what to follow whether it is a path, a way of life, a person, a style, a philosophy, or a way of being is an important decision   God encourages us to follow the longings of our hearts where love resides. This asks of us to pause and check in with our own internal knowing before following anything outside of ourselves.  On our daily dates each day, I show up because I want to become better acquainted with the knowing in my heart which God designed.  I present myself as is in the moment with a curiosity and a slight sense of hopefulness that by engaging in this relationship I will know better what to follow outside of me when the decision presents itself.  There was a time when I had no connection to an internal compass and was easily swayed by what the people I gave power to in my life saw as important. As long as you approved I am okay.  I thought what was within me could not be trusted.  Slowly God has reintroduced me to the greatest presence of power and love residing in me and in all of us which can be accessed by simply taking a breath.  I often pause in my day, especially when agitated or doubtful, touch my hand to my heart, take a deep breath and reconnect.  It started earlier that day on my date and it is kind of way to make the date last longer.  I believe it gives me a sense of knowing I am following the path of the one who created me and knows me best.
