What do you do when someone you've loved and trusted your entire life is caught in a lie?

Can you ever trust that person again?

Now what if the person who misled you - was actually you?

I cannot explain what led me to thru hike the Appalachian Trail, except that it wasn’t a decision at all. What it was - was a series of unrelated events that unfolded as a beautiful choreographed dance.

When I can quiet the external noise and reduce the friction of my mind, I can clearly notice the voice of intuition that always knows the way. The heart always knows the, the mind pretends to know.

The message wasn’t clear initially, but it unfolded into what it became. I had spent years trying to tell people in recovery how to change their life, and my hike became a way to show them it is possible.

I learned that before anyone can really change their life, they first need to know there is a different way to live. And that light is something that attracts and light never promotes. I wanted to be a light and not a megaphone.

Trust your intuition and heart, it will never lead you astray. Only the mind does this.

The heart is the master, the mind is the servant. The heart knows, the mind distracts and pretends to know. When the mind loses its authority, it serves me as a tool - no longer steering the direction I walk in life.

I Trust myself today - not because I do not think or control thoughts, but because I don’t need to. I think when I think and I trust where my feet are. That is more than I could have ever dreamed.

Peace & Love,

Wingit.

Is it necessary to feel Pride?

After my thru hike of the Appalachian Trail, many people told me congratulations or that they were proud of me for the accomplishment. This made me feel uncomfortable and I began to wonder “Why do I not feel proud myself?”

I didn’t feel like I was victorious - I didn’t feel like I achieved anything at all. I didn’t conquer the trail or myself, I cooperated with life and life cooperated with me.

What I felt was honored, grateful for the opportunity to even participate in something like this and how it unfolded. To witness, embrace, and experience something greater than the identity that values Pride.

Is pride useful to build our identity? Or is it armor to protect it?

If someone gives the full attention to something, and does their very best, what use does Pride serve?

Who is keeping score?

My Problems in Life don’t cause my Struggles, they are just another climb on the Appalachian Trail.

Me being vulnerable and opening up about my realizations and resistance and how Grace from others showed me the Truth. And why my GoFundMe was more than seeking financial assistance. It’s overcoming my own fears and letting go of my judgements.

Thank you for the kindness.
