Time to move on


Yes it comes to all of us from time to time in our lives

Has it come to you yet?

Did you have the courage to move on or did you sit still and rationalize that it was safer to stay where you were?

Our friends might suggest we stay, it's safer, it's such a good job and so on

Sometimes this might be good advice however it is your life not theirs

Life is about change amongst other things

Trying to avoid change is like trying to stop the tide coming in

It doesn't work

Our lives are composed of major and minor periods

In each of these we have to learn lessons and once we have learned them then nature allows us to move on

Our karma also dictates that we experience things over and over if we do not learn

So the trick is to know if the decision to move is the right one or not

There are opportunities that we should not take

Others that we should consider

And those we should take

Your life view will help determine what you do

Your values will add something too

Then there is that inside voice which whispers to you

Do you listen to it?

It is known as our higher self by some

Whatever the name if you are honest with yourself and know this to be true
then that voice will be the best help you can get in making those decisions about whether or not it is time to move on

If you work at it this voice or feeling can be used more and more

Try this

Last thing before you go to sleep think of something that is on your mind and ask the question directly of your higher self

When you wake in the morning often the first thought you have is important and often that thought can answer your question

It might not be what you expect

It might not seem relevant

Hold it without challenge

Without modifying it

Look at it later in the morning

Act upon it if it feels right

This can be done more and more with questions and situations that arise in our lives

And not just asking questions when we go to sleep

The main thing is to be open to this voice or feeling and this takes practice like everything else

After a while you realize that what is happening is beyond mind

It is indeed your higher self

Beyond mind

Our minds get us into so much trouble because they are forever comparing, evaluating, judging

Because that's all they know how to do

And when we do this naturally all our perceptions and prejudices are factored in, which is why we make mistakes

Learn to find that voice in you, this is usually easiest if you let go of the worrying and think about other things

Change the subject

Do other things

Relax

It will be there however it takes time so stick with it
