Being pushed vs being led

Below is today’s Momentum Dash inspiration:

And this was the quote:

“Don’t be pushed by your problems. Be led by your dreams.” 
--Ralph Waldo Emerson

Both hit home for me right now.

First, because I’ve been feeling that some inner shifts are trying to happen (“trust the process”).

Secondly, because now that I’m feeling well and fully able to step back into life’s fray, I’m noticing how quickly I fall back into the imbalanced pattern of responding to external pressures (“…pushed by my problems”) and not taking the time to listen for inner guidance (“led by my dreams”).

Something to ponder.
