I wouldn’t consider myself obedient. When I was in high school I lived somewhat dangerously, so much so that my parents almost moved our entire family out of state in the hopes that a new environment would do me some good. I make better choices now but my spirit hasn’t changed much.
Obedience to my higher Self/Life/God is my commitment these days, and oddly enough it often conflicts with what other people feel I “should” do – so even though I’m obedient now I still appear rebellious! Go figure…
Inner peace results when we are obedient to life, yet we’re often asked to do things that make us feel uncomfortable – an oxymoron of sorts. Ultimately however, resisting life’s directives leads to pain not peace.
The question for many is how to hear direction from life. Here are some tips:
- Create a clean environment – Eat clean, clear your mind through meditation, and heat up your body through exercise so it can burn off any residue blocking your inner voice.
- Notice where the message comes from – If it comes from fear it is not your higher self.
- Watch for conviction and inner peace – Directives from your higher self fill you with a sense of conviction and peace
- Trust yourSELF – If you get a message follow it!
The other day I picked up a book called Zero Limits by Joe Vitale. In it he writes that there are three stages of life: You as the victim, you as the creator of your life, and finally, you as a servant to the divine.
