Question:

Is there a guiding force in life? And please dont say God........something else???

Is there some sort of compass we all have inside of us that guides us through life letting us know what we should and shouldnt do? A spiritual force? And I dont mean God or religion so all the bible bashers out there take it easy and sit this one out. Sometimes I get this feeling that m really suited to somethings and other times I'll get a feeling that im not suited to some other thing. Where does this come from? Thanks


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I have no good words to define it, but for lack of them, perhaps we could call it an "inner voice." Joseph Campbell said that he always told his students when they asked him questions about life, decisions, etc... to "Follow your Bliss. There's something inside you that knows when you're on the beam, and knows when you're off the beam. And if you get off the beam [to do something contrary to your real self] then you've lost your life."
I've applied this idea to my own life and have seen that it is true. I cannot describe what that something is; but IT IS.
