Ask
YourselfThe
Answers Within Us
Many of us seek the answers to
life's questions by looking outside of ourselves and trying to glean
advice from the people around us. But as each of us is unique, with our
own personal histories, our own sense of right and wrong, and our own way
of experiencing the world that defines our realities, looking to others
for our answers is only partially helpful. The answers to our personal
questions can be most often found by looking within. When you realize that
you always have access to the part of you that always knows what you need
and is meant to act as your inner compass, you can stop searching outside
of yourself. If you can learn to hear, trust, and embrace the wisdom that
lives within you, you will be able to confidently navigate your life.
Trusting your inner wisdom may be awkward at first, particularly
if you grew up around people who taught you to look to others for answers.
We each have exclusive access to our inner knowing. All we have to do is
remember how to listen. Remember to be patient as you relearn how to hear,
receive, and follow your own guidance. If you are unsure about whether
following your inner wisdom will prove reliable, you may want to think of
a time when you did trust your own knowing and everything worked out.
Recall how the answers came to you, how they felt in your body as you
considered them, and what happened when you acted upon this guidance. Now,
recall a time when you didn't trust yourself and the results didn't work
out as you had hoped. Trusting your own guidance can help you avoid going
against what you instinctively know is right for you.
When you
second guess yourself and go against what you know to be your truth, you
can easily go off course because you are no longer following your inner
compass. By looking inside yourself for the answers to your life's
questions, you are consulting your best guide. Only you can know the how's
and why's of your life. The answers that you seek can be found when you
start answering your own questions
