Tune in to your Inner Voice

“It is quite natural, in pursuing enlightenment or just in trying to be happier, to look to your everyday experiences for signs of results. Indeed, your daily life is nothing else but an expression of your spiritual condition. Your life will change as you become more loving, but not in ways you can exactly predict.” Thaddeus Golas

Amen. And a great big yes-indeedy. It makes perfect sense to look at our everyday experiences for signs of results. What else is there?

If I desire to be happier and don’t feel any change in my happiness level in the everydayness of my life, then what’s the point? Weekends. Check. Holidays. Check. Vacations. Check. Every single ordinary day? Check!

Life = every day.

My life is comprised of my daily life, with occasional mass groupings of days in a row that get the label weekend, holiday, or vacation. I desire my daily daily daily ordinary existence to be joyful. My daily life is my happy life. My happy life is my daily life. Right here, right now, Thursday afternoon at 3 pm.

Your daily life is an expression of your inner condition. If things inside you are a bit murky, the outerness of your life is going to reflect you feeling stagnant, or stuck, or a general state of discontent.

The gnawing of “there’s gotta be something more” starts to murmur within you. So answer the call! The murmur, the soft indistinct sound that whispers quietly, is your Inner Voice. What is yours saying?

Have you been ignoring it? Shushing it? Too busy to give it attention? You’ll tune in and follow your heart someday? When is someday? Does it get a chance on those days we call weekend, holiday, and vacation? How does that feel?

I agree with the quote above. When you become more loving, especially toward YOU, your life will change. And in ways you cannot even predict right now. As I tuned in to my Inner Voice, my IV, my life has propelled down a new path. One that we call joy.

You cannot exactly predict HOW things will occur, but you can rest assured knowing that when you tune in to your IV, things will change.

I’m kind of an information junkie. I love learning. There came a time when I had to stop thinking about my life and start doing something. I listened to my pal Leonardo da Vinci: “Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do.”

Doing requires putting ourselves out there. Asking for support to help me get in touch with my IV required me to be vulnerable. Best thing I ever did for myself. Becoming more loving, especially toward me, made all the difference. Step by step, I keep doing. Always learning and growing, and always checking in to see if my daily experience shows signs of results.

Yep. Progress, progress, progress. Feeling better leads to feeling better. You’ve heard me say it before and I will say it over and over: The better it gets, the better it gets.

In pursuing your own enlightenment and/or happiness, what are you doing to become more loving toward you? What are you doing to allow your life to become more joyful? What are you doing to check with yourself to see how your spiritual condition expresses?

If you have a self-help book that resonates with you, read it and DO the exercises.

If you have promised yourself a walk in the woods this fall, DO it.

If you have thought about a seminar, retreat or workshop, DO it.

If you have considered a coach or online program, DO it.

If you have wished for a massage, DO it.

If you have a journal and feel called to write it in, DO it.

If you have desired to dabble in something artsy/craftsy/creative, DO it.

Your Inner Voice is whispering to you. Honor it. Watch for signs in your life. The more you honor you, the more happiness enters your daily experience.

The better it gets, the better it gets. Give it a whirl and see for yourself. Keep me posted.
