Hello and welcome to this week’s edition of The Soul’s Journey!
Have you ever watched mountain goats scaling the side of a cliff? It’s an awe inspiring sight and I often find myself telling them all to “be careful!” in my mind. They are perfectly content frolicking on the cliffs and I want them to hesitate, to think twice about what they’re doing. I need to mind my own business and let the goats be goats. Maybe I just need to follow their example.
Here’s to being as sure-footed as the goats 🐏

Why do we hesitate? Why do we second guess ourselves? Why do we constantly wonder if we’re on the right path or doing the right thing? Yup, there goes that “right path” thing again! I’ve talked about it before. We (I) need to stop under-estimating our (my) ability to make choices.
When I hesitate, and overthink things, I typically fall or fail. I’ve proven this to myself time and time again. You think I would learn.
Consider mountain goats. Have you ever watched these fat creatures on spindly legs trekking up the side of a cliff? It’s both terrifying and awe inspiring.
These goats don't hesitate. They have faith in their abilities and allow their feet to find their own way. They don’t question their steps. Granted, I don’t know what percentage of them ever slip and fall to their death. And no, I’m not going to Google that. I don’t want to know.
They are built for the cliffs. They have the proper hooves and balance to do what needs to be done despite what logic might say about their body shape. Mountain goats trust their design and don’t let their mind second guess their round bellies and spindly legs.
We also have what we need. Our Human Design strategy and authority are the tools we need to make the right decisions. When we trust in and follow our design, our feet will find their own way, no matter how steep the cliff.
I believe in the mountain goats. And I believe in us, as long as we don’t let our minds get in the way of our design.

I loved reading this! The idea that, like mountain goats, we are designed to do what we must, resonates with me. No second-guessing required.
