Learn to live according to your decisions

If you are ready and willing to make life changes, then you are also learning to live by your decisions.  Before you will be in an informed position, you have to learn to be aware of how and why you think.  Whatever you are doing right at this moment, offers you lessons in faith and courage.  How do you discern and integrate them into your life?

To believe in self-improvement may lead you to assume you have things wrong with you.  In this way, the self-growth concept may be viewed as destructive.  Yet, it is not necessary to criticize and degrade yourself in order to expand and strengthen the soul.  In fact, you do this unconsciously already. To live according to your decisions would bring it to a conscious level.   To think and feel with deliberate intent transforms you.

Each time you devise a solution or action, part of you responds with an excuse and other parts of you are receptive.  Which parts do you choose to hear? It is possible you know someone who relives the same problems or situations.  This may sound like you.  Maybe you resist or hesitate to act on advice. Do you ignore that inner voice of guidance?  Why is it that people hold back from what they sense is right? How does this serve you?

Evolution is not a straight line.  You have latent or dormant abilities in the soul.  You have not even begun to unveil the extent of your faculties and potential.  Whether or not you realize, you are building on yourself all the time; how and what you perceive and your chosen focus.  You constantly decide to explore new possibilites for self-expression. 

Each decision you make to detach from your own perception of trouble, discomfort and imperfection, is another step toward realizing your true nature.  Life experience teaches you that you learn better what feels good by discovering what does not.  You learn which jobs and relationships build you up or not as the result of knowing the opposite.  In this way, part of you has decided to live by a process of elimination.

Ah evolution is indeed an interesting journey!

My favorite part of this post was how you say we have not even begun to unveil the extent of our potential. How true!

This is why I love to embrace change, because through change I believe I can grow and keep rising up to a higher potential of myself than I ever knew was possible.

Evita, the aspects of healing through inner awareness are known only to the experiencer. If the process seems difficult to explain, then fear or doubt distracts you from your own insight. People around you may sense 'improvements' in your well-being yet, you may be unaware yourself. Your feelings guide you in directions that serve you. This is part of a process where you are learning to raise your energy vibration. Being in low energy vibrations prevents you from connecting with your own inner knowing. A person must believe in his ability to raise energy vibrations in order to do so.

A large part of transforming your life and empowering yourself is to take responsibility for you, your life, who and how you are.

Once *I* realized this, my life start changing (it was harder at first, but it became better).

Thank you Dr. Liara!

Hi Liara. This reminds me of a friend of mine who is afraid to be wrong. She lives in fear of making mistakes and doesn't make change in her life unless things get unbearable. As a result she moves constantly in and out of depression. She has no reference points to lead her forward.

Ginae, self-acceptance is as difficult or as easy as you choose. Every moment, you are engaged in a mental revolution as part of your Earthly evolution. Your identity crisis results from what is going on around you, what is dictated to you, what you have been told you should believe, accept or reject. As you begin to love yourself for who you are, you realize this is a stage of 'coming into your own.' The more accepting you become of who you think you are, the more you realize further self-acceptance is possible. Your physical, mental, spiritual and other evolution are ongoing. As you realize every stage of self-perception is short-lived, you rise above constraints you create for yourself in the physical. Every human being is on an eternal path of progress. Not everyone realizes this.

Davina, a similar analogy can be made concerning people who believe themselves to be on a quest for love and happiness. Part of them believes they have no points of reference. Yet, on some unacknowledged level, this is not true. Until a person is mentally ready to move out of a particular pattern or mindset, there is nothing you can do to change them. It is not up to you to change others. You can only ever change yourself. Any desire to empower or enlighten others of your own level of awareness is part of your own learning curve. Your learning never ends. A sense of perceived helplessness is part of that.
