Are you using your inner compass? (You should!)


Imagine yourself traveling towards an unfamiliar place and even though you have programmed your GPS to help guide you to it… you decide not to consult it during your journey.

Life is such a journey. And even though we don’t have an actual GPS attached to us, we do have something very similar to it… our inner compass.

An INTUITION, a VISION, a GUT FEELING or even a FEELING OF UNQUESTIONALBE KNOWING… those are all messages we receive from this inner compass on a daily basis. The problem, however, is that most times; we have a hard time hearing those messages. We have so many “pressing and urgent” other things on our minds that we fail to hear the whispers of this inner guidance. 

So what are we to do?

THE ANSWER:  Meditation (or time alone with yourself)

By allowing yourself some time in quietude regularly, you’ll discover that your life will get a little easier in time.  You’ll find that your struggles will become less consuming… you’ll discover that your challenges will get resolved quicker… you’ll discover a new ability to achieve goals quicker and with more ease…  you’ll find yourself a much more pleasant and joyful person…

Of course, if you don’t use your GPS, you MIGHT still get to your destination in time… but wouldn’t you rather use that extra time for more pleasant activities?
