Signs

I believe in signs. For example if you come across an animal and it really strikes you in someway. I honestly believe yoy should look up the animals spiritual meaning.
Most animals have several meanings, but I feel the correct one will strike a cord.
So for me the animals have been eagles and hawks.
Both birds of pray that teach you to look at things differently.  Look at the big picture and open yourself up to your higher self.
And most recently raccons. I literally opened the door and was right in front of one.
Raccons teach you to exept the gifts you have, but also to leave no stone unturned to get what you want.
I feel like these are both important messages for me. I feel like I really need to sit down, look at the big picture. I tend to look at bits and pieces. Figure out what it is that I actually want and then go for it.
There are a few things I want, but I am not sure if they are what I really want or just what I think I want.
I know that sounds silly, but truth of the matter is, sometimes we don't really know what we want. We just simply want something different because what we have doesn't make us happy. That doesn't mean the other thing will make us happy. And it might very well be, because it isn't what we really wanted.
So my goal is to figure out what it is I want.
