Taking A Stand
I’ve talked to many people this past week about taking a stand in their
lives. So many complain about how unfair the world is and that they
are stuck in undesirable positions because of circumstances and other
people.Boy we sure give the “other” a lot of credit, don’t we? We’ve given
them the power to dictate how we live our lives. How wrong and so
foolish.When we start to realize that taking a stand in our lives means that we
are focusing on us and who/what is important, we’ll hopefully be able
to come from a place of truth and authenticity in able to live your life
wholly.How –> Ask, Listen, and Follow
We need only ask and we will find
that our relationships, finances, work, and relationship
with our self begin to transform. How many times per day
do you pray and ask for help from Spirit? And, how often do you
listen to it? And then, what about following what you
hear? The amount of inner peace and happiness you
experience in your life is directly proportionate to the
amount of energy you expend on asking, listening and
following His voice.Be willing, right now, to ask for
guidance in developing an authentic relationship with
yourself. Ask for guidance in releasing beliefs,
thoughts and behaviors that do not honor your true
essence. Start with, “Who am I, really? For so long
I’ve based my perception of myself on what others
think that I’ve forgotten who I am. So, who am I,
truly?” and, “What steps can I take to live an
authentic life?” Finally, be willing to hear the
gentle yet firm voice, and trust what it says.Such is the life of the authentic
soul….

Some good advice for all of us to heed. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
That’s true. I seem to always be asking permission, even silently, of most people I know. That’s a bad idea period, but especially here. I haven’t even been looking for a job out of Seattle, and that’s what I want more than anything. How self-defeating.
