Listen to yourself
Wednesday, June 20, 2012 at 9:56AM Listen to yourself. Notice if you self-criticize, argue or attempt to talk yourself out of things. Notice how often you allow feelings of optimism to fill you and a sense of trust to be your guide. In every moment of life, recognize that you have choices about how to think and feel.
Take the example of a decision you are in the process of making. It can relate to anything. The mind draws from logic and reason to persuade you of one course of action. The heart invites you to feel your way to the most suitable direction. Every prospective decision is a pointer.
Notice that reaching for faith or praying for signs reveals you harbour doubt. It also reveals you forget about the power you access by taking responsibility. Know doubt and fear are illusion. They temporarily prevent you from being focused purely on the love that is your nature.
In essence, it is not the subject of a particular decision that matters so much as how you choose to feel about it, whatever the outcome. You can choose to see everything as an opportunity to trust, to feel peace and joy. You can view every result as a blessing that offers lessons and insight into the mind. Every event is a reminder to love and accept yourself fully, come what may. Be gentle and kind with yourself. This is the path to self-acceptance. Come full circle.
