They say that unless you know what direction you are heading in you do not know where you are going.  When we are focused on the end result, the culmination, or the agreed-upon moment where our focus will be different it can be helpful to have a sense of direction.  Our minds are much more at ease with direction and things that make sense.  Yet the spirit of our hearts long to enjoy the journey even the moments when we seem to lack direction.  Our hearts invite us to get our sense of direction from within us instead of solely relying upon outside of measurements of our journey.  According to the outside world, the only kind of direction that is valuable is the one that leads somewhere proven to be worthy of our time.  Yet our hearts know the value of moments outside of time and space that takes place absent of any direction.  It is not a matter of choosing the mind versus the heart’s direction.  It is a matter of valuing both equally and discerning when it is the moment to follow the direction of the heart and put aside the direction of the mind and vice versa.  Unless we value the direction of all of who we are we will not arrive intact whatever direction the journey of our lives takes us.
