WHO KNOWS BEST:

~

It is our job to determine what's best for ourselves.

"I know what you need." …. "I know what you should do."
… "Now listen, this is what I think you should be
working on right now."

These are audacious statements, beliefs that take us
away from how we operate on a spiritual plane of life.
Each of us is given the ability to be able to discern
and detect our own path, on a daily basis. This is not
always easy. We may have to struggle to reach that quiet,
still place.

Giving advise, making decisions for others, mapping out
their strategy, is not our job. Nor is it their job to
direct us. Even if we have a clean contract with someone
to help us – such as in a sponsorship relationship – we
cannot trust that others always know what is best for us.
We are responsible for listening to the information that
comes to us. We are responsible for asking for guidance
and direction. But it is our responsibility to sift and
sort through information, and then listen to ourselves
about what is best for us. Nobody can know that but
ourselves.

A great gift we can give to others is to be able to trust
in them – that they have their own source of guidance and
wisdom, that they have the ability to discern what is best
for them and the right to find that path by making
mistakes and learning.

To trust ourselves to be able to discover – through that
same imperfect process of struggle, trial, and error – is
a great gift we can give to ourselves.
