Understanding Your True Self!

Understanding your true self is a topic that many are unaware of. Most feel that they know themselves, yet this is not true. To prove this point just look around you today and you'll see that most people in our society today follow "The hottest/latest trends" in fashion, music, health, etc.

When we follow a trend we are giving that trend a piece of our soul, because we follow something, someone, or someplace that makes us feel good.

I'm not saying that trends are not any good for us, what I am saying is that we must utilize our inner, God inspired wisdom to know the difference of what it is we are doing and how may this affect us in our lives.

An example would be a new gadget that hits the market and it's an updated gadget to what we currently have, but with a few more whistles and glitzles.

The gadget we currently have does the job just fine and some, but we feel enticed to "upgrade" so we think.....We try to justify, just to keep up with the latest trend, so we convince (lie to) ourselves and others as to why we feel we need this upgrade, and how it will improve whatever it is we are wanting it to improve.

Marketing experts are geniuses when it comes to this. They use words that strike a cord within us like (Free, Upgrade, Sale, Limited Time Only, Proven, Guaranteed, Etc.) to make us feel like we've got the upper hand and we're in total control.

The fact is that we're duped into thinking this and we wind up not listening to our true selves. Our true selves would say something like, do I really need a new gadget, do I really need a new house, or the latest car, or boat.

If you desire the above mentioned items, or more, then by all means enjoy them, they will all come to you, but do not sell your soul (True Self) to acquire them, and only get them when you do not have to justify its purchase to anyone, not even your true self.

NEVER Give Up!!!

Today happens to be one of those days that seem painful, with the ones closest to you saying hurtful things, and trying to bring you down because of their own deep seeded issues, yet I tell you all, to hold on to your beliefs and say out loud.... I WILL NOT GIVE UP TRYING!

You see, you'll know when you're on the right path because a sense of peace is realized within your decisions and naturally you'll be tested to see if you'll stay the course of wherever you're heading.

There's an old saying which says...."To Whom Much Is Given...Much Is Also Required". that's so true, especially when you look at life! I take that quote above and apply it to every area of my life, not just business, yet family life and personal life as well.

If you're guiding your family in the right direction, expect opposition, if you're trying to guide your business or finances in the right direction expect opposition, if you're guiding yourself in the right path to physical fitness expect opposition, if you're guiding yourself in the path to spiritual enlightenment, or assurance, expect opposition.

The fact is that if you're on the path of growth in every aspect of your life, then forces that go against what you're doing, will try and bring you down, but you must NEVER give up!
