What's The Smallest Thing You Will Do To Watch For A Sign?

"God, give me a sign!" Yeah. That's been uttered a lot, prayed for a bunch, even breathed in a not-so-formed deep wish by most of us when things get hard. Usually, it's when we are at a decision-making place--or just feeling lost and wondering how to find a sense of direction again.

Because somehow, we equate standing still with a lack of progress. We might need to examine that, too, but that's another post.

But we all seem to need signs that we're doing the right thing. When things go well, we think, "Whew. Sure glad I made that choice!"

When things don't go well, we think, "Man, I knew I should have taken that left turn at Albuquerque."

Again, our perception is what turns something into a good thing or a bad thing, and often, it's neither one. And THAT'S another post.

But for today, let's just think about signs. Portents and wonders. Because the truth is, the world is one big ink blot test full of 'em. The Universe obligingly dishes up what we ask of It; and in the seemingly mundane, we might find our guidance.

Dreams. Coincidences. Chance meetings or snippets of song. All of these things have been the fuel of epiphany, the road marker in the dark for someone.

I find if I just get my radar up and relax, I find the signs I need to set my GPS in motion.

What about you? What's the smallest thing you will do today to recognize a sign that can guide your next small step?
