In a short one-day break from my series on the rich, wonderful world of the transformative power of shame, I wanted to just throw a question out the blogosphere; in particular, the portion of the blogosphere readers that concern themselves with matters spiritual, metaphysical, or just plain curious.
I was meeting with a client tonight who is undergoing a lot of turmoil over a decision needing to be made. This person has a strong inner knowing what the decision is for them, yet is agonizing over what to do, often telling themselves, "I don't know what to do," or "I don't know what I want." In the case of this person, it was obvious to me that this individual knows what "The Truth" is, but the ego is so at odds with this person's heart's truth, that it feels compelled to keep this person in a perpetual state of distress and emotional vapor lock. So, what's the question already?
It's simply this (and it's a two-parter)..."How often do you really ignore and/or overlook what your own intuition is telling you about any given situation?" And, "When you do, what are you getting instead?"
I want to invite my readers to look at that for themselves. Look honestly and candidly. How much do you override your own instinct and your own nature? If you do, why? When you DO override your instincts, what is really winning?
What do you end up choosing instead of your own nature and your own inner guidance?
I invite people to comment on this post by answering these three questions and then sharing what you've gotten to learn from getting caught up in that patterns.
Maybe it's going to be freeing to look your purpose squarely in the eye and get the opportunity to share it once and for all.
