You are a living gift

Ultimately, everything you externalize through word and deed should be sanctioned by Nature.

What that means is that if you are interested in a life of Truth, everything you say or do should be informed by the voice within that urges some action or word.

It is always, always, always your choice to choose for it—yes or no.

Choosing no means you are not ready to let go. Which means you'd rather control your actions and words in order to create a perceived, desirable outcome. 

This is the path of effort and stress and a life lived in the head. It is the root of separation and the personal I that tries to fulfill personal needs and wants.

Choosing yes means you have advanced to a stage where you realize there is no other choice to be made, as choosing no has proven to be painfully frustrating and disappointing.

This is the path of the artist, who sings the song as the song is given. You don't know where the path may lead. You might get hurt. You might not get what you want. Something may go wrong. You might lose face.

At least this is how your mind calculates things and so removes you from the flow.

Yet, when you take this artist's path, you become an instrument of Nature, performing Nature's will. And we know through simple observation that Nature is always in harmony and promoting life.

Why would it not be guiding you accordingly?

What's required is the courage to face the fear of letting go and act on inner impulse, even if the thought of doing so creates discomfort.

What's neat is that when you do so everything you say or do becomes a gift, just as the whole of Nature is a gifting entity—the movement you feel is not only best for you, it is best for whomever it touches.

So, practice speaking up when you are being spoken to from the inside. Practice reaching out when you feel the movement to do so.

Let the moment inform you and act without thinking—the thinking has already been done for you and the intelligence behind it is the same intelligence that keeps planets in orbit.

Practice, practice, practice is the key.
