We all have those days of uncertainty. Today, for me, it's not that I doubt myself or my abilities, it's about fear. It’s years of programming by society about what is acceptable and what's not in how we live our lives. For years i’d been living my life conforming to what others thought was acceptable …I played the game.
I worked as a plumber and gasfitter, providing for my family. And I’m genuinely grateful for that—I supported my wife and our three daughters, and that matters deeply to me. I’d like to make it clear: 20yrs of crawling under houses and dealing with things that I’d rather not, was not easy. It was hard work. It took all of my focus/energy and left room for nothing else in my life. So two years ago, I picked a date and walked away. No real plan, just trust. It didn’t make financial sense. It was stressful and money would be tight. But I knew I couldn’t keep living out of alignment with myself.
Almost immediately, that space filled with something new—training in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy. After my first course, I knew I’d found it. I felt excited again. Then, just as quickly, the course was cancelled. Suddenly I was in limbo for six months, not knowing if or when I could continue. Still, I held onto it, even though part of me felt selfish for stepping away from a steady income to follow something that mattered to me. My family never wavered. One of my daughters even told me I should be following my dreams. That stuck with me. Still, the pressure to provide didn’t disappear. I picked up part-time work to help contribute.
Fast forward two years...
I have no regrets and I’m confident in my abilities and happy with the feedback/results. And yet… some days, the fear is still there.
Today was one of those days. Instead of finishing an essay due next week, I found myself venting to the “all that is”—frustrated at how hard this “trust” thing really is. I’ve worked through the imposter syndrome—the voice that says, “You’re just a plumber… who are you trying to be?” That’s mostly quiet now. But the bigger question still creeps in sometimes:
Will this actually work—for me, for my family?
So there I was, lying on my bed, mid-rant to the universe, saying I might need a bit more than the occasional “spooky sign” to keep going …as I looked out the window, three quails, sitting on top of a six-foot fence, stared straight at me.
I’ve never seen quails at our place before. Not once.
The timing couldn’t have been more perfect. I just laughed.
Make of that what you will.
For me, it was a confirmation: keep going!!
AI Overview - Here are the key spiritual meanings of seeing quails:
