Hi Reader,
A few years ago, I wrote a post encouraging people to stop searching for answers.
The topic came from my own experience of seeking out ideas and solutions from other people whenever I felt stuck in life.
After all, it’s natural to want to see how other people have navigated difficult situations.
But this would lead me to obsessively search for answers, trying to find the *right* one that would somehow fix everything in my life.
What I learned through a lot of trial and error is that the answers would often come to me when I stopped seeking.
When I took the time to slow down and listen to the answers I already had within me, things became a lot clearer.
Essentially, the idea is that you already have the answers you need within you.
So why am I telling you this?
It’s been quite a while since I wrote that post, but someone commented on it recently that prompted me to dig deeper into this topic.
They said they didn't feel like they had an internal sense of direction, so how could they have the answers within them?
This question overwhelmed me because I didn’t know how to answer it. I even thought about deleting their comment because I felt as if they were questioning what I had written.
But I paused for a moment, set my ego aside, and decided to dig into the question with an open mind.
That prompted me to write this week's blog post about whether everyone has an internal sense of direction, and if so, how to actually use it.
If you’re feeling unsure of what you want or the direction you're headed, give it a read.
at the moment.

a moment of bliss.
A moment of bliss is something in your day that you’re savoring or grateful for, no matter how small it might seem.
