Mindful Monday: Listening to Your Own Inner Voice
Monday, May 4, 2009 at 05:00AM How do geese know when to fly to the sun? Who tells them the seasons? How do we humans know when it is time to move on? As with the migrant birds, so surely with us, there is a voice within if only we would listen to it, that tells us certainly when to go forth into the unknown. ~Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
We know when it's time to fly. The key is listening.
It's only when we really listen to ourselves, our inner selves, that we can really fly. Maybe that sounds cliche' and maybe its cliche' because we keep having to hear it over and over again. We are presented moments everyday, opportunities to listen to that inner voice. These days the challenge is hearing it over the din of cell phones, email, TV and all the things on our to-do list. All the things that keep us listening to everything, but ourselves.
Why not try a 'Not-To-Do-List? Turn off the TV, cell phone, computer and spend time listening to your own inner voice.
You probably won't be surprised when you hear it. But you might just be surprised how much easier it is to hear.
Inner voice,
listen,
