The Benefits of Committing to Your Heart
Dear Friend,
- Why have I blogged so much about commitment, commitment, commitment for the past several weeks?
- Are there any benefits to listening to your Heart and feeling fully committed to doing so?
Oh, yes, there are … and then some. The ‘problem’ with staying true to this commitment long enough is that you may not notice a significant difference overnight. And since we live in a ‘fast paced,
in’ out, drive through, want it now’ society, it is tempting to look for the next promise that guarantees your outcome in 30 seconds or less. Honestly, I have fallen for those myself, hoping that it can be done quickly, because I have felt so fed up with old outdated patterns and habits. And I do see that these patterns change much much faster today than even a year ago. This year of 2012 has been a speedy one with lots of challenges, changes and transformation for many of us. But the bottom line remains: Am I listening to my Inner Voice and Being, or do I still let myself be influenced by outer authorities instead?
You may not be able to hear and understand the language of your Heart in one sitting, but every time you make the effort and open up with a willingness to learn, something does shift. This happens by you trusting yourself a little bit more, and by being open to what your Heart is offering you. As you persist in listening and learning, you will notice that it gets easier and easier to gain access to your inner Wisdom. You will notice that it was always there, but you weren’t there. I wasn’t there. It is in our commitment that we are there now. Right there where the action we are longing for is happening. The depth of our commitment to listen to and trust our Heart and start acting from it, determines the pace at which we notice real lasting change.
What changes?
I can only speak from my own experience. I keep being amazed at how easy it has become to really trust what my Being is communicating to me. It gives me a sense of centeredness and confidence in my Being and it liberates me from doubting, second guessing and looking for answers outside of myself. I feel a lot of peace inside when I don’t argue with my inner Wisdom. What a relief that is.
Even if people don’t agree with me, I know where to go for confirmation and it is always here. Always. Talk about benefits.
When you fully give yourself over to this Inner Wisdom, then the moment to moment expression of it becomes the goal in itself. Not the goal that you hope will be the result from listening and acting from within. It is the listening and acting without doubting, that is probably the biggest benefit you can ever get.
ALL Love,
Pernilla
