Second Guessing

Second Guessing a decision already made only really serves to remind us that the thing we knew was actually the thing we knew.

Rather, it was the thing we were guided to do.

We start looking at the evidence, what has already unfolded and decide that what we thought was not good enough.

It was the thing we were guided to do!

How could it not be good enough?

Because we have not completely trusted in our Inner Guidance long enough, we feel like we know better.

So we change our mind.

If we allow ourselves to step away, if only for a few moments, what we find out upon our return is what we originally “knew” was the thing we should have trusted in.

“My ways are not your ways” says The Lord.

How could we possibly know what The Most High has planned for our good.

We can only know by trusting in that still, small, voice that is always guiding us.

Forget about trying to figure it out.

Our way.

It is a good thing to learn how to relax into our beneficial relationship with The Creator Of All Things.

The Creator Of All Things.

Beneficial?

Yes.

In all things.

There isn’t anything God does not know about us, our intentions, desires, wants and goals.

God knows the best path to get us to them and guides us in the best direction that will take us there.

We are guided.

We get the idea, the intuition, the path shown to us and we, most times, promptly move in the opposite direction.

Second guessing ourselves.

Thinking, it can’t possibly be that simple. There has got to be more to this.

Allowing ourselves to be guided by our Inner Being is not easy.

It requires trust!

Trust is not the easiest thing to cultivate.

We feel like life has to be hard because we have to figure everything out for ourselves.

The thought that is given to us, the guidance, doesn’t always make sense to us because we are always looking at the evidence right in front of us.

What we forget is that the evidence we are looking at now is yesterday’s old news.

Nothing is ever what it looks like on the surface.

What we see today is a result of yesterday’s thoughts and actions.

What we are looking at today is what has already been done.

Hopefully, they were actions that moved us forward that we can then build on.

Which is actually a good thing.

When what we are looking at today pleases us, we took the right actions and can, and should, confidently take the next right actions.

We, in our brilliance that we are, think we are the ones guiding the ship.

We are.

It’s who, and how, we were created.

We are the master crafters of our lives.

Every thought and every action makes our lives what it is.

But since we are not in this alone, why not trust The Creator Of All Things who told us “My ways are not your ways”?

I know trusting is not easy to do.

We trusted him.

We trusted her.

We trusted that.

Things did not always quite work out.

Trusting in things outside of ourselves rarely work out the way we want them to.

There are too many variables involved.

Things we have no way of controlling.

We do not know what someone else’s motivation is.

Hopefully, it is one of service, that is beneficial for you.

Most times others are looking for some benefit for themselves.

It is a marketing truth 101.

WIIFM.

Translation: What’s In It For Me.

Can you honestly tell me you do not think about what you will get when you are thinking about helping some one out.

We all do it.

If I do this, or say that, then I will get this.

Kind of tainted isn’t it.

Not quite as pure as it could be.

This is not always the case.

Just something to think about when we are looking outside of ourselves to others for help, guidance and to show us the way.

This is especially true when we pay someone for their help and advice.

Most gurus and experts will “give” you just enough to keep you coming back for more, so you can pay them more and more.

It cultivates dependency.

We need them, and what they have to give.

So, as long as we trust in them, we will be guided, and they will have the benefit of being paid for our trust in this outside source.

I speak from experience.

I’ve trusted in many outside sources, and paid handsomely for trusting in them.

Sometimes my expectations were exceeded.

Sometimes.

Not as much!

We must trust ourselves to know what is best for us.

Trusting in ourselves, in our Inner Guidance, is ultimately the place we want to be.

A way to know if we are following Inner Guidance is by noticing how a thought makes us feel.

Does the thought excite you?

It may not make any real sense to you, but it does make you feel good.

It could even scare you a little.

It is normal to be a bit hesitant about going into something new.

A new direction.

A new opportunity.

But you are still excited about the possibilities.

It is likely you are being guided by Your Higher Power.

If the thought causes you to want to pull away, to contract, it may be something you are trying to make happen, at any cost, that will likely take a long time, a lot of work and effort, and may not yield the desired results.

We often do not second guess the hard way of doing something.

We always want to second guess the thoughts that seem easy.

But, does the easy thought make you feel good?

If the thought feels good, just imagine how the manifestation, the result, will make you feel.

Step into the “feel good to me” guidance and see where that takes you.

Step into the ease and flow guidance to experience the good life is offering you.

Stop second guessing Inner Guidance.

No worries though.

We are always being guided.

It is never too late.

Start where you are right now.

The best is always calling you forward.

Pay attention to the call.

You are being guided to it.

Cultivate your personal dance with the Creator to all your desires, intentions, wants and goals.

Just recognize if the thoughts make you feel good.

Even if it feels a bit scary, but still exciting, just hang on for the good ride to the life of your dreams.

Stop second guessing the good stuff!

Heart. Based. Sharing

Peace. Love. Blessings
