Wisdom Of A Child

Every time a fork in the road opened in front of me, I'd waffle. I would stand there, hopping from one foot to the other, all the while feeling rooted to the spot. I couldn't make my mind up to save my life. My thought processes were based on consternation, not concentration.

Suddenly, I had a decision to make - which way is right, which way is wrong? I would get frustrated with myself. This only made the situation worse. As I walk a path with heart though, I am learning to discern the pavement from the sidewalk, the highway from the ditch.

This discernment comes from realizing I already have all the answers inside me. As the level of pain goes down, slowly yet surely I am able to hear the quieter voice of my inner wisdom.

We all have this presence of inner wisdom. It is not a gift, nor is it for the chosen few. There are no chosen ones of this world - this is an equal opportunity universe. You have inner wisdom as surely as you have eyes to see with, lungs to breathe with. If you can't hear it, this is because you think you can't, when all the while it is there.

Your inner child, the precious small person you once were and still are, knows. The state of being I am calling the inner child is the conscious communication of soul speaking to you through heart. Hearing it is not a case of volume, it is a case of quiet.

As we quiet the noises of fear, grief, confusion and anger, then the inner child is heard ever more clearly. The message is ever more simple also - accept yourself, love yourself, forgive yourself. We are already whole, complete and perfect just as we are. And the way we are, is the way we are.
