In the mix of life, it might seem obvious the things that work for us.  Many things we have operating work so well that we do not need to be aware of them.  It is the miracle of being alive and the automation present in our cells.  The elements of our way of being that contain the baffling layer of what is operative are the ones we see as not productive and yet they still operate.  I believe people do what they know to do.  We underestimate the willingness and biological imperative to stick with the known.  It may work in contrast to what we are intending to do, but on a layer beneath our awareness, we are either stuck in a familiar pattern or what seems counterproductive because we know it.  We know it from phrases like, “the devil you know is better than the devil you don’t.”  Based on that system of operation, we are playing with devils.  Why not let angels lead us?  Why not make room for our heart to step in with its courageous system to take control of our operations? The operative nature of the heart takes delight in the mystery and the unknown, but it does not operate like a fool.  Our hearts contain the courage needed to update our operating system because there will be fear.  The fear shows up the moment we move in a direction that is unfamiliar.  God gifted us with the energy needed to adjust our operating experience by turning to our heart one breath at a time.
