I think it is important to recognise that when we follow a heart-based path or soul calling, it does not mean it is easy.

It is likely that in the perseverance of a task or goal we will encounter any number of emotions, challenges, certainty and doubt.

We will be able to continue with more strength and self-compassion, when we appreciate the qualities that have got us to wherever we are - at the stages of conceptualisation, dreaming, exploration, action or development.
