Soul Talk

TODAY'S QUOTE:
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life...Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become.".... Steve Jobs, founder, Apple Computers

I wish I'd read this long ago, when I was spending so much time struggling to please everyone and failing so miserably. Voices pulled me first this way then that in an endless tug of war for my attention and compliance. For forty years, I was kept constantly off-balance by one sort of tyrant or another. Honestly... if my soul ever spoke to me back then, I never heard it over the critical people who orbited my atmosphere. Emotional vertigo left me mostly helpless, until I began to value my personal space enough to defend its boarders. There came a time when I had to admit that the only damage they did was whatever I allowed.

Once that mighty notion took root, nothing was ever the same again. The voice I'd never heard before instantly roared to life. In that moment I realized the only agenda it would ever possess was goodwill toward me and my hearts desire. But what did my heart desire? Who was I really? Take away all the labels... and just what remained? The journey to knowledge traveled inward, and the keeper of all the keys was that voice. I began listening in earnest and have never regretted altering my focus toward that internal location.
  
I wasted so much of my life, yet I cannot wholeheartedly regret the things I've lived through. Obstacles made me into who I am and the lessons learned while overcoming them will help shape who I'll someday become. Being a work in progress gives each day a meaning unique unto itself; any forward motion instantly validates the moment it inhabits. Awareness slows time to savor speed, making up a bit for all the time wasted or blundered through. Soul talk reveals a pattern for personal peace and healing, custom made to fit only you. Why don't you.... think about it.... let it ride.... then YOU decide????
