Your intuitive feelings are what guide you, not the feelings or opinions of another. The feelings of others are unknowable. For what’s best for your life, you need no external consultant. Your only gauge is your inner being. If you try to step inside the mind of another, you’re doing the impossible. Taking on the guilt, burdens, and concerns of another person is chaos. Trusting in your own responsibility of decision-making takes focus on what brings you inner peace.
The best choices that you’ll ever make in life are the ones that please no one else, but you. I’m not referring to a selfish, self-gratifying kind of pleasure. That pleasure actually has a self-betraying quality to it. The kind of pleasing gesture of which I am referring, is the kind of joy that comes in making decisions that reflect a loving kindness towards yourself. If the way you want it to turn out; if the way you want it to look; if the way you want it to be; and if the way you want it to feel is life-giving, liberating, and uplifting – then it’s the best way!
Even if you need to make a tough decision, trust in your way! Love may not always win, but it sure wants to. Love wants you to make winning choices in your life, and it wants you to feel good about how you want your life to look. Sure, it may not always turn out exactly like you want it to; but even challenging circumstance can reflect back the areas where you need to be more intentional about your choices in the future. Look inward towards those choices that make your love grow and your inner being feel warm, peaceful, and joyful. The best way forward, is your way – trust yourself. Be your own consultant, especially for tough decisions. Don’t back down from your best. But if filled with self-love, your way will always be the best way.
