YOUR INSPIRED SELF IS KEEPING ITS EYE ON THE GOAL Shining forth the thought: I AM HERE ONLY TO BE TRULY HELPFUL. _______________________________________________ Excerpt taken from the Pause Golden Book, Pages 156-157

We want to be aware of the cubicle thinking so as not to be led astray into dispiritedness, however, we need not blame, shame and lay a guilt trip on the cubicle self. Let Go, LIGHTEN YOUR LOAD . . . Give all of it to your INSPIRED SELF.

YOUR INSPIRED SELF IS NOT INTERESTED IN VALIDATING, BLAMING, SHAMING OR LAYING GUILT UPON THE cubicle self. Such thinking and behavior is a waste of time and a distraction from living a life worthy of you.

IT IS KEEPING OUR BEST INTERESTS AT HEART It may not coincide with what we think is in our best interest at the time; It is always something better than we imagined possible. Remember, your Inspired Self knows the big picture.

YOUR INSPIRED SELF IS POWERFUL Its power comes not from having to be in control or controlled, but from being CONNECTED TO INSPIRATION, its power source! IT IS HELPFUL IN ALL SITUATIONS No seeming problem is too small or too large for your Inspired Self to dispense Help!

The Bottom Line No one else can force me to follow the Wisdom I receive. The choice is always mine. Might I have some trepidation? Yes, much of the time! Will I regret it? Never. In the midst of everyday life Take a Pause. 🌟

My ego barked at me that if I took a break, Pause for Inspiration (the nonprofit) would fall apart. This is highly unlikely, as I have reliable people I can call upon for backup. Thank you, Natalie, and John.

My Inner Wisdom has been urging me for at least five years to take a break from work, but I kept ignoring it. I relied upon a long list of excuses as to why I couldn't possibly stop working. All of these excuses were fear-based thoughts that cause exhaustion!

This becomes a brewing conflict, an inner divide that deepens over time as I choose not to follow Wisdom. I lose my inner peace, which then leads to losing outer peace. For example, you haven't heard from me in a while because I chose to take a part-time sabbatical to rest.

The challenge is letting Wisdom truly make a difference in my day-to-day life. If I don't apply the Wisdom I have received, if I go on about my day as if I don't know any better, I can feel like I have one foot in one world and one foot in another.

As I am aware of Inner Wisdom, and truly allow myself to receive, I experience an inner shift in how I see myself, others, and relationships. It's not a sacrifice to let go of my way in favor of receiving a Wiser Way.
