We're always listening to voices, ideas, and thoughts in our heads. In fact, they drive us and prompt us to take a course of action. The question is, how deeply are we listening to ourselves? Are we just listening to our basest and most immediate desires or our we going deeper and truly listening to our hearts and what will fulfill us in our lives?
I believe that to really learn and grow as a person you must take the time to listen deeply. This requires spending enough time alone to face all of the weird feelings and thoughts you have and to look at them objectively. When you do this it is much easier to understand yourself and to then choose what voices, ideas, and thoughts you want to listen to.
We all have negative, inadequate, depressing thoughts but have we really ever listened to them? They seem so loud but when you start listening to them they appear smaller, weaker, and stupider than you had imagined. Are those the voices you want to listen to or are you going to listen to a larger, more loving, more positive one? By simply asking this question you empower yourself enough to be able to make a choice. In the end it is these choices that determine your perspective and ultimately the quality of your life.
