Dear Friends,
Even when you do your very best to get in touch with your intuitive guidance, and when you sincerely try to pay attention to the divine signs and synchronicities that are leading you forward in life, there will be plenty of days when you will still feel uncertain—confused, even.
Should you go this way or that way? Should you do this thing or the other? Often the answer just isn’t clear. And as your confusion continues, you may feel increasingly frustrated.
Do you know why confusion is frustrating? Because you believe that you shouldn’t be confused! Actually, it is only your resistance to your state of confusion that is causing you to feel frustrated, and causing you to suffer needlessly.
A little confusion is common! It is something that we all experience every now and then. But rarely does it persist for any great length of time. Eventually, mixed signals will give way to clear signals, and you will feel comfortable enough to make a choice.
The key to more rapidly reaching that state of divine certainty is to accept your confusion when it arises. Instead of hastily and unwisely forcing yourself to make a decision, simply acknowledge the fact that—at the moment—you are too unsure to make a decision . . . and be okay with that!
Remember, to be able to discern your next right step, you must be genuinely open and receptive to divine guidance. And a mind that is in resistance is rarely relaxed enough for that guidance to be readily apparent. In other words, your resistance to your confusion is the very thing that may keep you stuck in that uncertain state!
Are you a little confused right now? Is there somewhere you want to go but you don’t know which way to row? Then repeat this mantra: “I’m confused. But that’s okay. I will not always feel this way.”
Simplistic? Maybe. But it works for me. And it may offer you a little relief, as well.

Great philosophy! Not sure what kind of spirituality this stems from but just recently I have come across this exact same conclusion, and it has granted me an unexpected serenity. Its honestly pretty strange, but also awesome/enlightening!
