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.
