I Listen Within

I Listening Within



This message has been vibrating through me for some time now and so I've listened and put it into action....

Here is a statement of encouragement, an affirmation, a reminder to come back to centre and listen within. To truly listen to those inner meassges, however they come.

Its a statement about being on purpose, with everything we do, choose, create, strive for.

Its a way to honor and value ourselves and to stay on track.


There have been so many times that I haven't listened to the whispers of my heart and wondered how I got so far off my Path of Purpose. Here's a list of some of the hows that have steered me wayward...

  • everybody else is doing it...it must be good/right
  • fear of being 'left behind' if I don't do something
  • competition
  • others know more than me so I'll do what they say
  • 'they' have more experience/authority than me, they must be right
  • simply...I would do anything to succeed
  • this is what I have to do to get ahead

All of these relate to stronger outside voices, inadequacy and fear.

I want to be reminded that there are other ways to be guided and a visual always works wonders! By posting this on my blog I am reminded everytime I'm there to plug into my own wisdom and listen.


If we make a choice to listen we can be perfectly guided. It's is simple, but not always easy.If this feels right for you, I'd love to take this Affirming Badge.

I've found that if I come up with an idea myself, I have more chance to do it. But if someone else tells me I need to do it, I guess I'm rebelling, and I put it off. I need to just listen to myself, and do what I think I need to do. That's counter to working with a team, and I do have a job where I need to do that, but if I look at it like I'm delegating, then it works. I'm the president of our local art society and learning on the job, so to speak, how to get things done and not procrastinate.
