People usually don't need help in knowing what to do. We know.
We know that to do better with money, we need to spend less and save more. We know that to lose weight and get fit, we need to eat healthy and exercise. We know that if we want to get better or develop a skill, we need to practice.
Giving someone the knowledge to complete this task or that project doesn't solve the problem, because a lack of knowing how is rarely the root of the issue for motivated makers and doers.
If you're hung up and feeling creatively blocked, seeking answers won't move you past feeling uncertain of what's next. You don't need more information in your head. You just need to know how to ask the right questions.
You need to ask the questions and examine the ideas that stick with you. What's that nagging thought that simply won't go away? What question lazily swims across the pool of your consciousness, always when you least expect it to surface?
You don't necessarily need the answers right away -- just the question, and a willingness to ask more.
What questions rattle around your brain? What thoughts cling to your mind -- maybe not always front and center, but certainly always lurking around the corners, waiting for you to shine a light on them?
And will you be brave enough to explore those thoughts once you pin them down?
Will you continue to ask yourself the questions that matter? Will you dedicate yourself to finding you why -- why these questions, thoughts, feelings, wants, ideas...?

HuffPost's GPS for the Soul app is based on two truths about human beings. First: We all have a centered place of wisdom, harmony and balance within us. Second: We're all going to veer away from that place, again and again and again. What we need is a great course-correcting mechanism -- a GPS for the Soul -- to help us find our way back to that centered place, from which everything is possible.
Because no one knows better than you what helps you de-stress and tap into that place of peace inside yourself, it's important for you to create your very own GPS guide -- a personalized collection of whatever helps you course-correct. Email us at GPS@huffingtonpost.com and we'll set you up with your very own HuffPost blogger account to share your guide on the site. If you're already a blogger, we encourage you to upload your personal guide today. We can't wait to see what you have to share.
