Once upon a time you listened to that still small voice inside you.  You didn’t imagine that it even existed separate from you, because it didn’t.  It was you.  And you listened to anything and everything that it told you to do… you just did it.  It wasn’t a question of who will I upset or who will I please.  It wasn’t even an inkling of what the proper etiquette is, or if you were wearing the “right” outfit.

No, you just acted.  You acted and you traveled through those first few years of life feeling quite satisfied I am sure.  But of course you don’t know because, most of us forget those moments along the way.  And with good reason I must say.  The reason being that we cover them up with the “you should’s” and “I shouldn’t’s”, the “really you can’t do that”, or the “how could you’s!”.  The expectations of a rule and regulation driven society win out, and the inner voice goes into hiding.

Then, one day something happens and you begin to wake up.

Then, another day happens, and you begin to wonder.

Then, more days happen end to end, and you begin to remember.

didn’t I have a little voice some long long long time ago.  and didn’t I feel good when I just listened and acted on that little voice.  didn’t that happen, or is it just a mirage?  Or maybe this life is the illusion???  I wonder what would happen if I just listened to that still small voice inside of me?  Really, could it be any worse than the way things are going now?

So one day you decide to trust it.  And then something surprising happens, at least it is surprising to the you that is no longer in tune with the still small voice.  The surprising thing is this- when you listen to, act on, and follow the still small voice life goes better.  Not just better.  It goes well; even great!

So I prompt you to take a moment today and close your eyes and connect with that voice inside of you.  Give it a name if you need to, I must warn you though- I am pretty sure Jiminy Cricket is already taken ;).  Listen to see what it has to say.  Take a leap and even follow something of what you hear.  Do it today.  Do it again tomorrow.  Do it again the next day.  And then pretty soon it becomes simple- just follow that still small voice, and the way becomes clear, the doors open or close as they should for your highest and best good.  And your mind becomes the creation grounds for the endless possibilities that is your destiny.
