Learning to be true to oneself

It’s hard.
Especially when life pulls you in opposite directions… And when your mind is full of voices, from the past, and the present.
​It’s not your voice though, is it?

And the best advice I give, when faced with a dilemma or a difficult choice is: what is it that you hear within, when you ask yourself the question:  what is it that life is calling me to do here?
It’s an important question and one that often puzzles and confuses. As in: I am not in charge? Life is? And there is stuff within me? What do you mean?
Yeah, all you need to do to be true to yourself, when faced with a conflicting decision, is to pause and listen within, to your inner voice, your own voice…

Indigenous people say it best: we have all the answers to the questions we hold in our mind within our heart. We just need to dare connect the two together so that the light of truth gets in.  You know, that sense of inner knowing that nothing rational can contradict or that nothing can sway you from emotionally. You just know what the answer is.  Then, it’s all about whether we have the courage to follow our path and enact our truth, and that’s enough matter for another post…
 
Stop and listen within, and learn to be true to yourself.

One choice, one decision at a time.
