For your consideration….
Simply put…we must know who is talking and who we are listening to. Every moment of our lives is driven by either our ego or our soul, our authentic self. Our life journey’s goal is to listen and follow what our authentic self says. Our goal is to let our authentic self be our life driver and have our ego take a back seat.
During much of our life we are on automatic pilot. We aren’t paying attention to what part of us is in the driver’s seat. We don’t give much thought to what part of us we are listening to. Our message today tells us that we need to pay attention, become aware and put our authentic self in charge.
How? How do we know if our ego or our authentic self is in charge? It is easy. We know when our ego is in charge when we feel fear, anxiety, dependency, always seeking approval from others, base our self-worth on the opinions of others etc.
The authentic self is very different. Everything it tells us or asks us to do is based on love, even if it is something we don’t want to do. The soul always sees the I can, I will. It is supportive and encouraging. The soul reminds us that we are exactly who we are born to be. We do not have to prove our self-worth, we know it. Our HOPEs, dreams and goals do not define or change our self-worth whether they succeed or not because our soul does not judge. It does not judge because it is birthed in the love of God who created it. It just is.
That is the HOPE. And so it is.
Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take….
-Meditate/pray…ask…”What is my next step for my highest good and the highest good of all?”
-Drink lots of water.
-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.
