Do any of you have that little inner voice? I swear I've tried to shake it over the years, particularly during my boring youth. But I've really come to rely on that voice the older I get. Mine never really gives me a bum steer - not really. I might not get it at the time, but I usually figure out why it told me to do what it did eventually. Mine is very structured (surprise!) and at times a rebel.
I think I have split personality voice actually. My voice will tell me to hurry and get to work as early as I can - but then on the way to work, it tells me to go find a Starbucks. Anyone else's voice do that? I mean, which one do I listen to? My gut says listen to the one that says go early to work but I really like the one that says "who cares, your day will be much more productive with a cup of good coffee."
I think I need to listen to the rebel voice more don't you? Maybe that would help my life to become more audacious and fun. I think I'm struggling with how I can have more fun but still 'hold down the fort' and manage my responsibilities. That's an art that my gut says will take a great deal more practice.
The times in my life that I listened to that 'rebel' voice though, definitely led me down a path that I hope to never see again. I dated a guy that was SO outside the realm of normality for me, I'm surprised my friends didn't do an intervention! I took a job that was really a bad fit for me... but I took it anyway and threw caution to the wind. I was miserable and was actually relieved when they laid me off due to poor sales. Usually fate helped me out when I made bad decisions... sometimes it took a while. So yes, I've had my share of stupid, 'rebel' moments.
Now I think I want to have smart rebel moments. I'm not sure what those are yet, but I'll definitely look into it. I need to mix it up a bit and do the unexpected. Ever just want to wear something that so wasn't 'you' or just be late for a meeting that you don't want to go to? (Boy, even my rebel moments are boring. Sheesh... anyone want to tutor me on being more of a rebel?)
In the meantime, I'll stick with my structure and maybe go to Starbucks before work once in a while. Baby steps my friends, baby steps. Happy Friday Ya'll!
