Here Today, Gone Tomorrow

Ask a psychologist what emotion is, and you'll get as many different answers as people you ask. In learning to walk a path with heart, you will encounter this mysterious energy of emotion again and again. And in these encounters lies the secret of your happiness and success. For it isn't in right diet, right thinking, right exercise or right spiritual practice that you find the solution to your issues. You will find it by discovering what you really believe is, emotionally, the truth for you.

Most of us go through life with a mass of emotional assumptions as to what constitutes truth. If we will not look at what we emotionally believe, we will never sort fact from fiction, falsehood from truth. Step outside of yourself for a moment and attempt to see yourself as someone else might. Listen to your words as if hearing them instead of saying them. Start asking yourself what your feelings mean, follow them to where they lead you.

They lead inward, to that vast mystery called self. There you will find truth as it applies to you. In there you discover both your relationship with, and connection to, yourself, the universe and spirit. Our view of reality, what we understand as truth for ourselves has its basis in what we believe emotionally. And it can take a bit of digging to unearth what we really believe. As you discover what you believe, as you untangle the agendas, you will find your feelings changing miraculously. It literally is here today, gone tomorrow.
Happy digging.
