Life is full of many possibilities and experiences and we may not have even gotten out of bed yet. Both within us and outside of us exists potential and movement in multiple directions. Sometimes we feel we are steering the ship of our lives. Other times we feel as though life is steering us. God has shown me on our daily dates that even in the moments when I feel as though life is directing me on a course I can steer where my focus and intention lies. I can steer the energy of my heart which alters the view I have of whatever I perceive as directing my experience. The reality is nothing outside of me can steer me away from me unless I choose to let it. No matter how many times in my life I may have not had any control and been an actual victim of someone else’s behavior or of circumstance, it does not strip me of the capacity to use it to steer my life in a direction that works for me. I did not choose to be a victim of incest. No one asks for this. But it happened and I can choose to steer the trajectory of my healing and reconnecting with the truth of who I am if I choose. We all have had experiences, good and bad when we did not have a say, many of those happened as children. When we experience any form of that as an adult and have not made peace with that experience as a child, we will approach the adult experience with a child perspective. God has shown me in more ways than one that as an adult I can look to my heart to steer my reaction, my feelings, my thoughts, and my choices each time something comes up for me that relates to my experience as a child. I am no longer a victim. When I look to my heart to take the helm, I am steering the ship of my life by connecting with the truth of who I am at the core of my being.
