In my city, it’s easy to convince yourself that the traffic is too heavy to get through the intersection. The cars just keep coming. I have to cross a four lane highway to walk my dog to the dog park. One day, it was a good, two full minutes before there was a clearing. Molly kept looking up. She tugged. Of course, she would have gone for it. I was watching for her. She can’t tell.
So who watches over you? Well, you do. You sense it with your eyes of intuition. You sense when it’s time to cross. You sense the clearing. You sense the inner green light.
I wanted to retire at 48. My bank account said, “RED LIGHT.” My financial advisor said, “You don’t have enough. You’ll run out.” But the inner watchman said, “GO.” And so, I went on green.
All of the signs outwardly are RED. Inwardly, GREEN. Why are outward signs red? Because visible signs are remnants of the past. Advice comes from fear of the future. My retirement funds were symbols of the future. Insufficient – STOP. My financial advisor was going on past knowledge. STOP.
There is something you can’t see, in the same way as Molly can’t see when it’s time to cross. She’s tethered, though. She might tug, but she’s not going anywhere. I’m watching. And I am being watched over by my greater senses. When it’s clear, I’ll get GREEN, even though outwardly, I see RED.
In the meantime, wait patiently for GO_. Heeding RED is fear. Paying attention to when you have the clear is faith. The clearing happens in a sea of red. Be patient and know it takes as long as it takes. Then, you’ll just jaunt right over that four lane highway and go play at the dog park. The inner green knows when it’s safe. It whispers, “GO_.”
