Trust yourSelf, it’s what you were born to do
Have you ever asked someone else advice about your own life? Even worse, have you ever asked multiple people what you should do when you’ve a big decision to make? Maybe you’re considering a job change, a new home, whether or not you should go on a date or leave a relationship and instead of tuning into your own inner wisdom for guidance, you ask someone else. We’ve all been there. Asking someone else’s opinion about our own life is probably one of the most normalised parts of society. And yet, no matter how knowledgeable, well meaning or close we are to someone, we are the ones who will have to live with the consequences of our decisions! I have asked other people’s advice when making decisions especially when it came to dating! I’d share their dating profile and wait eagerly for positive feedback or what looked like ‘permission’ to say yes to this potential mate. I’d look for facial expressions and enthusiasm in their voice, anything that looked like approval. How strange is that? To ask everyone else if YOU should date someone. We have our own unique taste, interests, wants in a partner, hopes and dreams yet still, we rely on another’s opinion on who we should date. Thankfully I don’t do this anymore. Well… not so much! You might think ‘what’s the big deal in asking other people for advice and opinions on our life? What’s the harm?’ When someones else’s opinion feel louder or more valuable than your own, so much so that you abandon your own thoughts and feelings, then its becomes an act of self betrayal.
Truth Versus Fear
One of our most valuable gifts we’re given as humans is our intuition. It acts as our inner guidance system guiding us to make decisions that are in line with our authenticity and our Path. It’s the part of you thats connected to Truth, the part of you that has access to the bigger picture, knows your Soul blueprint. We call it intuition, a gut feeling, a hunch. It’s that subtle unwavering knowing that lies within and everytime we ignore it, even if it’s to keep others happy even if it feels safer to follow someone else’s plan for us, we are betraying ourselves. The reason we tend not to listen to our own intuition is because it usually doesn’t give any evidence or additional information with the guidance. For example, when you receive a download or hear a ‘no’ most of the time a no is just a no - you don’t get the reasons why it’s a no or similarly a ‘yes, go for it’ is just that, a yes! No evidence, no list of reasons why we should say yes, just a clear knowing..yes. When we ask someone else for advice, maybe a friend or family member, they typically have a whole host of reasons and evidence to back up their claims! But more often than not this information is based in fear, not Truth. It’s not that people have a crystal ball or can see your future, usually they’re giving advice based on their lived experience which also comes with their own baggage, beliefs and programs. Of course there are exceptions, this world is full of wise people too, but the difference is these wise folk when you ask for advice, will instead guide you back to yourSelf so you can find the answer that is waiting within.
Every Choice Can Change Your Life
Every choice we make has the potential to change our life whether we are conscious of it or not. Even the seemingly small decisions we make everyday like whether to have 1, 2 or 5 cups of coffee, saying yes to a social event, being kind to a stranger or being unkind to a colleague, going for a walk when you’re feeling down or deciding to take on a couch to 5k! We tend to believe that we can control life especially if we have solid air-tight routines, if we make calculated and careful decisions, then surely we will be able to predict and safeguard the future. But in truth, we have no control on what happens in this Universe - all we can control is how we respond to it. No matter how long you’ve been travelling the same route to the same job, you cannot predict what happens on your journey. You don’t know who you’ll meet, songs playing on the radio and the ideas they’ll spark, birds soaring above that can pull you into the present moment, the good and the bad drivers who weave in and out of traffic as you go about life unconscious to the fact that this journey will never come again. When we live largely within autopilot - mindlessly moving through the world cosy in a false sense of security that is filled with repetition, salaries, pensions, workout plans, we tend to miss the magic of life. Routine has value of course, but when we bring our concious awareness to our daily lives and even repetitive routines, we empower ourselves to be the co-creators that we are. Remember that you are stepping into the unknown everyday so every choice you make has the potential to change your life. Stop outsourcing your decisions to other people. Empower yourself to build the life you want, not a life you’re victim to.
