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.
