Don’t follow someone else’s map.
Deepak Chopra
The loud drum beat we hear in our lives comes from the external world; you need a bigger car, a bigger house, more status, more exotic vacations, more of more! But, there is a softer drum with a different cadence; this drum is calling us to love, to practice compassion, to be caring, to grow spiritually. If we don’t listen for that second drum we may think we are living the good life, but we will never be truly happy.
A television program exposed how easily influenced we can be. Groups of men and women were asked to compare geometric shapes. Most of the people responded accurately, but when put in a group that deliberately gave wrong answers, some of the participants changed their correct answer to conform.
True courage is being who you are no matter what others may say or think. This is not easy. The path of following our inner guidance takes great courage, especially when other people are pressuring us to follow the crowd.
For our lives to have meaning we have to live from the inside out. Having nice things and a great job is fine but they are no substitute for what really matters. What really matters are moving beyond fear and expressing what we believe and who we are.
Today, step into the life that you are meant to express. Move beyond all fear and know Spirit walks by your side.
