At the end of the day, when you pass over to the spiritual realms, who is going to be with you to give credit or blame for your successes or challenges in life. I think the answer is pretty straight forward: NO ONE!! So why do we go through life trying to find someone to prove what we want to think or believe in, rather than just going with what our gut tells us. Our lower Self is constantly wasting energy trying to get us to find someone or a group to validate our actions or belief. Why not take control of our own situation and accept the highs and lows that go with it?
Recently my daughter was being given lots of suggestions as to which university she should attend and many reasons why she should do so. I advised her that it was fine to listen to everyone’s suggestions, but at the end of the day she was the one who was going to have to experience the decision. I said to her: “Why not follow what your gut tells you to do, then move forward and accept the challenges. Ultimately, you are the one who is going to have to live the experience.”
I recently had a web site viewer telling me what he thought I should do to prove that the path I was on was true. As I told him, I appreciated his concern, but my truth appears to be working pretty well for me as it is. Why do I need to prove to him what is working fine for me? I also added that if he needed others to validate for him what to believe or not to believe, that’s great. If it works for him, he should go for it. His reply then got to the real core of what his issue was. He felt that there were so many vulnerable people out in the world that were being taken advantage of, and that I guess he felt it was his job to protect them. This again raises the question: “What is the right answer”?
I believe only you can answer that question. Start the quest, live and learn by what you decide is right for you. If a mother never lets her child fall down, how does the child get to experience all that goes with the scraped knee? In the end, it is your lesson and sooner or later there will only be you. At the end of the day, look around and digest all that life has to offer. Then stand back and look in the mirror. I think that is where the right answer for YOU resides.
