Go to your bosom, knock there and ask your heart what it doth know. ~ from Measure for Measure, by William Shakespeare
“I am dating two men who have both proposed to me. Which one should I marry?” the woman asked Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, author of the classic book, The Power of Positive Thinking.
“Neither,” he answered in his gravelly voice.
“Why do you say that?”
“Because you are not in love with either of them.”
“How do you know?”
“If you were, you wouldn’t be asking me whom to marry; your heart would speak to you directly”
As divine beings, we contain the knowledge of everything that is right for us. At any moment we can turn within for guidance and discover the next step on the path of our highest good.
Others may illuminate the way or remind us of what we already know, but they cannot give us something we do not already have.
A consultant is someone who borrows your watch to tell you what time it is. More valuable than a good consultant is the ability to read your own watch.
Experiment with agreeing to only those activities with which your whole heart resonates. To enter into a venture with half a heart will create half a result.
If you have doubts, do not try to override them. Lay them out on the table, and look at them in the light.
If you sincerely ask for guidance, the doubts will either reveal themselves to be important factors to be dealt with, or they will dissolve and give way to full participation.
Do it with a full spirit, or do not do it at all!
