1/12/05: Validation vs. Answers

When you have a problem, who is the first person you call for advice? Your mother? Your best friend? Your spouse? Usually, we call the person we best know will give us the advice we are hoping for. We are merely looking for validation that what we thought was correct.

But if you want real answers, why not call upon your Self? You hold within you all the answers to all the questions you could ever have. Sit quietly, take a deep breath and let your question go. If you are open to receiving the answer, the one that is best suited for your highest good and all those around you, you will receive it as surely as you are breathing.

If you are not open to receiving it, if you are hoping for a certain answer, for example, you will not be able to see it. But rest assured, the answer has come. You need only be willing to receive it, no matter what it may be.
