“Believe nothing no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it unless it agrees with your own reason and common sense.”
– Buddha –
From time to time in life I feel confused about where I am or where I am going, but I never feel like I will not get where I am supposed to go.
With a compass – any compass – one can always pause for a moment in time and figure out where you are so that you can continue. All of us must change course from time to time because what is surrounding us is constantly changing.
Beneath the obvious is an enormous lesson about independence and the ability to travel along one’s own path of life – a path which will never be a straight line, a path with many bends, hills, valleys, oceans of fog, storms, and dark forests.
The cool thing is this: you have a compass within your being. All of us do. Call it whatever you wish; this is your choice as a human. I have chosen and I call it my inner voice.
Your internal compass is truth.
The directions of a compass cannot be denied. When you have faith that what your compass tells you is correct, you will arrive at the destination you are working towards. Even if you have to change course from time to time in order to get around an obstacle.
Remaining in the present moment, which flows with time, knowing the moment is not static, is how one is able to hear clearly the voice within.
Only you know you completely.
No other human will ever get close.
Keep exploring the wonderful power of breathwork & meditation.
Wishing you all peace, love and good energy.
How to hear your inner voice more clearly
Your inner compass is always there, but it speaks quietly. When the mind is busy and the emotions are strong, it is hard to hear. That is why stillness is so important. A few minutes of slow breathing and silence every day help the noise settle, so that the quiet voice within can be heard.
- Sit in silence and take ten slow breaths.
- Ask yourself one simple question, for example: what is the next right step for me?
- Don’t search for the answer with the mind. Just breathe, and notice what you feel.
- Trust what comes, even if it is small.
