Finding the inner strength to pioneer one’s unique journey in life.

Posted on August 22, 2013 by Johanne Renaud, One of Thousands of Life Coaches on Noomii.

There are moments in life when a person feels lost, unsure of the path to follow and of the decisions to take. In such periods, it seems a difficult task to define what is important and what is less important. If one listens well, at some point, a tiny light, a soft voice or a sign of some sort surfaces and gives hints as what to do next, where to go next or with whom to interact.

This can be the beginning of a path of self-discovery and self-acceptance. It can be an opportunity to change one’s perceptions about some aspects of one’s life or of other’s lives. It can be the road towards a greater inner peace and well-being.

In such a time of transitions, the sign can be as light as a swan’s feather. It is there, waiting for you to notice it.

I believe that, within the challenges that life brings us, are hidden precious gifts and important discoveries to be made. They are not obvious, especially in times of pain and questioning. But eventually, they reveal themselves, as we seek them. I would like to share my poem with you, which is an attempt to express just that.

My Journey of Self-Empowerment

In the midst of nothingness
I stood
Looking at the passing fog.

My present was but clouds,
The path to my future, gone,
My past, expunged.

In the silence of my shelter
Flew a white feather
Like a heavenly whisper.

Seeking a path,
I found footprints,
The three letters of a treasure.

The Inner strength
And proper Tools
To Pioneer my own journey.
