From birth we are blessed with wisdom that cannot be learned or unlearned, existing whether or not we acknowledge it. This is a gift given to us by the universe before we were born. It is vital that we value and honor this incredible part of our self.
When we do not use our inner wisdom, we begin to doubt our personal truths and are driven to outside sources of information because of fear. What we know to be true in our hearts is invariably true, and we discover how intensely beautiful and useful self-trust can be when we recognize our inner wisdom. So listen, even if it doesn’t appear to make sense.
This wisdom is not subject to the influences of the outside world, which means that it will never demand that we surrender our free will or counsel us to act in opposition to our values.
We benefit from this inspiration when we open ourselves to it, letting go of the false notion that we are less qualified than others to determine our fate. The wisdom inside of us is the source of our discernment and our ability to identify blessings in disguise.
When we are unsure of who to trust or how to respond to challenges in our life, the answers lie in our inner wisdom. It knows where we are going and understands where we are coming from. Take this into account though it is not a product of experience, but rather a piece of our connection to the universal mind.
In the whole of your existence, no force you will ever encounter will contribute as much to your ability to do what you need to do and be who you want to be as your natural inner wisdom. Through it, you reveal your growing consciousness and discover the true extent of your power and strength. If you heed this wisdom with conviction and confidence, the patterns, people, and fears that held you back before will be dismantled, paving the way for you to fulfill your truest potential.
This is just one of the many lessons I learned when I went in search of love at age 49, detailed in my book How To Believe In Love Again: Opening to Forgiveness, Trust and Your Own Inner Wisdom.
