Monday Musings: Is Your Inner Voice Influencing You ???

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Napa Consultants DRE00893924

There is a voice within us. Some refer to it as their gut feeling, others as their little voice inside their heads!  That little voice should be  the loudest in your head.  It is the voice of truth for you often drowned out by the opinions of others.

 

"The Voice.  There is a voice inside of you That whispers all day long, "I feel this is right for me, I know that this is wrong." No teacher, preacher, parent, friend Or wise man can decide What's right for you--just listen to The voice that speaks inside."

~ Shel Silverstein (Poet)

 

We are proponents of meditation in whatever form works for you.  Some find it in long walks, some find it doing menial tasks, and some like to just sit and meditate in a formal fashion. Some find the quiet in building something.  I often find that quiet in pulling weeds in the garden.

 

Meditation inspires and strengtens the volume of your inner voice to speak.  In a recent decision, we had to make with two others who are partners, we all took time separately to listen to our inner voice, and we all came to the same conclusion without influence or arguments.  This is the best kind of alignment.

 

"Gaze into the fire, into the clouds, and as soon as the inner voices begin to speak... surrender to them. Don't ask first whether it's permitted, or would please your teachers or father or some god. You will ruin yourself if you do that."

~ Hermann Hesse

 

"Always listen to your inner voice."

~ Oprah Winfrey

 

Wishing you all a wonderful last week of February!

Hello Alexandra and Ron - with so much talk of influencers of all kinds and their role in society, your post takes on a timely twist.

Whatever you call it, Alexandra, (and I always refer to my gut feeling), it's important to pay attention to it. The only times I've had issues with something or someone is when I ignored that gut feeling and rationalized a different action.

Dad's first advice, right behind "be yourself," was "listen to your gut." You'll always find the right path if you do both.

Michael Jacobs We recently read that with Rhianna's 750 million followers, the company she started with LVMH (Louis Vuitton, Moet Hennessey) called Fenty was discontinued.  The influencer myth is not all that great as a marketing ploy.  I have met some, that claim a lot, but the results are negligible at best.  A

Nina,

Since  I am tone deaf, I have trained my inner voice to the level of a soprano coloratura, and I hear it loud and clear these days.  If I ignore it, there is hell to pay LOL A

Hello Ron and Alexandra Seigel, when I don't pay attention to that inner voice, I tend to take a detour.

We have both been accustomed to listening to our inner voices.  Sometimes one of us is stronger on a course of action, and we follow the stronger voice..otherwise, we relax and wait...A

Happy Monday Ron and Alexandra- what a wonderful post! And after reading what you said, I occurs to me that I have been meditating all along- not in the traditional way but in the ways you mentioned. Our "gut" is rarely wrong

Kathy Streib I was thinking about you and Larry.  I had a feeling that when he builds those blue bird boxes he is in a meditative state.  The same activities that you embark like baking is also a form of meditation.  Your attention is so focused on the activity that your mind relaxes from its usual resistance and but, butting arguments.  A

Laura Cerrano knowing who the right people is one of the things that one should be thought as a child.  If you teach a child to listen to his own voice, you create a lifelong asset.  A
