The Voice Within

The Voice Within

From the moment we come to this world, we rely on others to care for and guide us. Our parents or guardians are there to be our first teachers, teaching us how to walk, talk, and eat. If we are fortunate enough, our parents or guardians teach us how to behave in this world too, offering lessons on how to conduct ourselves and cohabitate with others in society. As we mature, we have teachers in school who often play vital roles in our development. Some of us find mentors to inspire us and give us the strength we need during difficult times. In our careers, we are taken under the wing of our superiors, grooming us for future positions. Life is a series of learning from others, and then passing what we have learned on to the next generation. This is the great continuity of life. Wisdom passes from ear to ear for thousands of years. We are able to thrive and develop as a society, because we are open to hearing and learning from others. The more we are open to learning from others and hearing the messages around us, the more spiritually evolved we can become. Hopefully, for everyone, even beyond adolescence, schooling, and careers, we crave for more wisdom. We seek the help of therapists, great literature, scripture, clergy, shamans, spiritual teachers, and we may find our greatest wisdom of all through our spouses and significant others. The road of life is paved with messages from others, messages from the Universe, and, most importantly, messages from our own hearts. This week, we have an opportunity for greatness by opening up to the wisdom around us. This week, we shine and reach our potential simply by lending an ear to the voice of the Creator, who comes to us through the people around us and from within.
