Choices You Make
Do your outer choices reflect your inner values?
If not, then your life will move from one
conflict
to another.
Yet when the choices you make do indeed come from
the person you are, then you will travel
steadily
in the direction of your highest visions.
When your actions are in agreement with your
purpose, those actions will surely take you
where
you most want to go.
Why would you ever act in opposition
to who you truly are?
Unfortunately, there are plenty of temptations
to do so.
It could be that you're worried about what others
will think, so you go along with what they expect
you to do, even though it hurts somewhere inside.
Or it could be that you crave the false sense of
security that material possessions and shallow
pleasures seem to offer.
Yet the real you, the beautiful, unique person
inside, knows better.
The more you allow your own deeply held values to guide your moment-to-moment thoughts
and actions, the more fulfilling and joyful life
will become.
There is real and inexhaustible value in the
authentic person you are.
Let your life express it in everything you do.
~Ralph Marston~
