how many are we today? 🤔

sometimes it feels like a crowded room in here. the restless one pacing, the skeptic rolling their eyes, and the one who just wants to sleep forever. we don’t always agree, but we show up every day. some days louder, some days quieter, but always a chorus that never quite syncs.

The Voices

I have a voice.  Well, I suppose I should say many voices.  Inside my mind and heart, each of them vie for my attention, letting know how to feel how, how to react, what to do and how to do it.  Some of them are kind—pointing out what I can grateful for or ways I can do something fun or loving for myself or others.  But still, there are others that aren’t as kind—ones that react to fear, ones that notice only my “flaws”, ones that see the most catastrophic of outcomes, and with my agreement to listen, make them bigger, clearer, more vivid.

There’s a pattern.  When I listen to the kind voices, I *feel* happier, I *do* things I’m proud of, I *see* more beauty and life and find myself more grateful, more loving, happier and view my life as one with unlimited possibilities and potential, filled with my most inspiring states of mind that allow me to flow with my life’s mission—loving and helping others love more.  However, when I listen to the doubting, fearful voices, I grow colder and freeze into inaction, I see life as a struggle and my vision becomes clouded.  If I can’t see my opportunities, how can I act on them to attract even more beauty to my life?

Simple answer?  I couldn’t.

My challenge to myself as well as to anyone who reads these words, listen to the quality of your thoughts and related feelings.  Are they serving you to see clearly?  Are they serving you and your purpose?  If not, understand that you can *choose* which voices you wish to breathe life into.  Choose the ones that align with your goals and desires.  These are the voices that help make those dreams come true.  These are the voices that are the keys living a life of joy and love. 

The choice is ours.
