Thinking Out Loud ~ This is Your Time & Place

by

You Are Where You Are for a Reason

In his work, Self Reliance, Ralph Waldo Emerson writes, “Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string. Accept the place the divine providence has found for you, the society of your contemporaries, the connection of events. Great men have always done so, and confided themselves childlike to the genius of their age, betraying their perception that the absolutely trustworthy was seated at their heart, working through their hands, predominating in all their being. ” P. 112

NOTE: We are where we are in time and place. It is in this moment and in this place we find ourselves that we are to contribute our great gift to life. Trust the time, trust the place, open your eyes to the opportunities surrounding you. You’ll know exactly what to do when you listen to the stirrings of your heart.
