Sometimes, if you listen closely, you'll hear that small still voice within. And sometimes, with a whisper so faint you almost can't detect it, the voice will tell you that you need to wait...do nothing...the situation is out of your hands at the moment...
"Doing something", and taking action, is not always what is called for. There are times where destiny is at work -- higher powers and forces that are out of our control. These times are an incredible test of inner confidence and fortitude. Doing nothing, and patiently waiting for the cosmos to align, can at times be one of the hardest challenges a person can face.
This will be a big area of focus for me for the remainder of the year, as I move through each day trying to reduce things down and simplify.
Too many times, my urge to "do something", or "fix the situation" has been ill-timed and served no purpose other than to exacerbate the initial problem.
Simplification is not only about reducing clutter in our homes and offices, it's also about getting the mind and emotions to slow down and demonstrate some patience under pressure when appropriate.
Keep your ears open for that small still voice...I know I AM.
I love this post.
BTW thanks for mentioning Thick Face, Black Heart a while back. Due to your rec I read it, very interesting.
Have a great day!
