Powerful!

I have always struggled with listening to my gut....I would ignore my inner voice and sure enough find myself saying "I should have listened to my gut". 

Yesterday the note below was posted on another forum I belong to.  It really struck me as being very powerful.  On top of that my daily message calendar the same day said  "Take action. If you don't like your job or other life cirumstances, make a plan and take charge.  You create your own reality and you can change your life if you're unhappy.  Start Today".

MAN is the universe talking to me............so why do I still struggle with listening to my inner voice??????

Making it happen

There are times in our lives when all the signs seem to be pointing us in a particular direction. Our thoughts and dreams are echoed in the songs and stories we hear and the media we see. Maybe the message we are getting from the universe doesn’t even make sense in the “real" world, but somewhere inside, these urges feel right. Maybe you feel you are being told to move to a new city although your life where you are is just fine. Or maybe you feel the desire to pursue a new direction in your career when it never really interested you before. When we spend time getting in touch with our higher selves, our intuition sends us directives to lead us to become our best and most fulfilled selves. And when we are open and listening, the next step is to take action and go for it.

Once we make the decision to pursue our inner urgings, the universe sets into motion the means for all sorts of details to fall into place. A sense of peace will come over us, because we know that any questions will no longer make us wonder if our dreams are possible, but how to make them happen. Instead of deterring us from our goal, these questions only serve to clarify our focus to move us forward. We need not throw caution to the wind to follow our dream. The positive shift in our energy affects everything around us. Like a rush of water, it goes ahead to clear debris from our path so that we can go forward. Our new attitude also attracts likeminded people. Sometimes even the most unlikely angels arrive to help us along our way with the information and support we need.

Wherever your dreams are pointing you today, take a step. Take action and manifest your inner urges and soul whisperings.

This reminds me of a scripture, "Be still, and know that I am God."

Listening to our gut and our inner voice is all part of listening to what God is trying to tell us in our spirit.  He is a spiritual being and he communicates to us through our inner spiritual being.  The hardest part for us in this physical world is the BEING STILL part.  Taking the time to meditate on what God's will is for our lives, and then being quiet enough to hear what he is telling us. 

The hardest part of listening to your inner voice is trying to determine if it's something you want or is it the will of God for your life.  By our age, one would think that we would be secure enough to trust Him in all things.  I do for the most part, but believe me there have been times when I just shook my head and thought, "Surely this can't be His will."  Of course, He knows a little more than I do!

Deep!
I don't recall that scripture but sounds nice.

I used to have much more faith but sad to say I have let my relationship with God fall by the wayside in the last couple of years.
These days with the extra stress I should probably lean on him but I feel like a hypocrite if I only talk to him in times of need so now I don't even do it then.

WOW...didn't think I'd be such a downer tonight.  LOL
But it does give me something to ponder tonight.........

Psalm 46:10

I'm not religous, but I'm very spiritual, so I talk to God all day long.  Nowadays, with things the way they are, I have to ask Him how He's doing!
