Trust yourself
"I never know what the next lesson is going to be, because we’re not supposed to know; we’re supposed to trust ourselves to discover it."-- Melody Beattie
How deeply do you trust your own guidance?Always trust that you know what's best for you. To move forward in your life, gather information from the 'experts,' consider how their advice relates to your situation and then act only on what feels right for you. What does your whole being (mind, body and soul) say ‘Yes!’ to?
You are the only expert for your own life.
"I trust so much in the power of the heart and the soul; I know that the answer to what we need to do next is in our own hearts. All we have to do is listen, then take that one step further and trust what we hear. We will be taught what we need to learn."-- Melody Beattie
"Ultimately, we must learn to trust ourselves. When we do this intimately and intelligently, the world opens full of meaning before us. We find that we ourselves are the doorway to a fathomless understanding of the source of life itself. We need only to learn to walk through it."-- James Thornton

What an interesting post... When I came to AA, I could no longer trust my own judgement, it had been clouded by drugs and alcohol. What a great feeling it is to be able trust one's own instincts and judgement again. It's a sure sign of a life lived under the guidance of HP.
Last night at the meeting there was a gal that talked about not being able to trust the alkie mind and thinking about how we just can never fully trust our thoughts. As you know I am a firm believer in trusting your gut, that place deep within your soul. It's never wrong. We have been taught to not search that place deep within through our using. Yet that is where God speaks to us.
