Your Spirit Isn't Normal
It is easy to dismiss that small voice whispering, “Take the other road to work today,” if that road takes you on a round-about cruise instead of the direct shot to work that you’ve planned.
You think, "I must be over-stressed or avoiding work for some reason to even
consider following that voice today!" Besides, you’ve already made the habitually normal turn onto your normal route.
Whatever your excuse, you effectively shut off Spirit’s message because it seemed irrational. After all, you’re a
grown-up and you work hard to make well thought out, logical, good-for-everyone decisions! Being late for work is not responsible, so you continue on your pre-planned (very normal) route.
Most likely, nothing horrible will happen on your usual route. No accidents, no traffic jams, nothing. You tell yourself, “See? That voice meant nothing. I’m just crazy. What’s new?” And on you go with your normal day.
Normal thoughts. Normal people. Normal as far as the mind can see. Your mind likes Normal. It’s comfortable there.
Change Your Reaction to Spirit
What if your normal reaction to Spirit’s messages was to do as instructed? What if you cut out the habitual patterns that your mind and body construct? What if doing what spirit asked became, well, normal?
You would heal. You would create new thoughts. You would feel fully. You would have no limit. You would become more than you ever thought possible. You would move mountains. Or you may find a better job on a little-traveled road while rushing to the job you hate.
If you want to find wholeness, wellness, greatness of heart, you have to follow Spirit’s lead. To follow Spirit's lead, you first must listen to that small voice.

one person who defined the kind of "Normal" I want to emulate. You know other people who are "Normal" like this too. Hopefully, one day we'll all be "Normal" together!
