There’s “yes,” then there’s “Hell Yes!,” or what I call a “Full-On Heart YES!” — that impossible to manufacture or replicate, spontaneous, deep within your Soul eruption when you know — you K-N-O-W — that whatever it is, it’s right for you.
Ever have that feeling?
Did you say yes to it? Did you initially say yes, then later say no? Did you poo-poo it straight away as impossible justifying your decision with one reason or excuse only to regret it later?
Recently someone asked me a question and, barely out of their mouth, I knew it was a no-doubt-about-it, have-to-do-it, Full-On Heart YES!! A Yes with multiple exclamation marks!!!
I immediately said Yes without knowing any of the details. It didn’t matter. I simply knew I was all in and I’d make it work.
Later my ego voice tried to talk me out of it. Thankfully, I’ve learned to listen to and trust my Soul’s voice more.
The question?
“Would you like to go to The Kingdom of Bhutan?”
Bhutan is a small land-locked country sandwiched between China and India. Until 1979, it was closed to tourism. Television and internet were introduced in 1999.
Bhutan is a Buddhist country whose measure of success is Gross National Happiness. Not Gross Domestic Product. Not, “Will this make us the most profit?” or “Will this make us the most powerful?” They base the success of their governance on the happiness of their citizens.
This tiny country, partly in the Himalayas and partly in the jungle, is surrounded by the two most polluting countries in the world, yet it is the only carbon negative country in the world. They have a mandate that no less than 60% of Bhutan remain forested. Currently, 72% is forest. As part of my excursion, each member of my group will be given a sapling to plant anywhere we choose on our route. This simple and small gesture excites me a lot.
It’s said that you don’t choose Bhutan, it chooses you.
It’s the same with a full-on Heart Yes. It’s Soul-driven. It’s part of the essence of you. You can deny it for a while (as I did, twice). You can ignore it and excuse it away, but that leads to heartache and regret. Thankfully, your Soul keeps trying.
After one full year of saying Yes to my heart in every tiny, small, and big way too, one thing I know for sure is, if your Soul wants you to do something, you’ll feel it in your heart…and it won’t let go until you say Yes.
I first learned about Bhutan in 1982. All I can say right now is…
“Bhutan, you had me at hello.”
