The season of Advent has begun. The days are short and the nights are long and the weather is cooler.  Many of us find ourselves yearning for light and warmth. So we watch and wait... expecting the Divine Light to shatter our darkness in fresh, new ways.  This month we will strive together to:  'Follow the Light'.

                                               Enjoy! ~ Sharon

Follow the Light

 When life and work become murky and muddled it is difficult to know which way to turn. We are generally presented with a myriad of options regarding how to act or what to say, and the proper choices are not at all clear.  We can get confused or worried and find ourselves not only feeling distressed but even paralyzed by a particular challenge. Our deep desire to do the 'right thing' can undermine confidence in our intuition and best instincts. In the midst of the swirling stress, we can't seem to sort it out. We are in the dark!

 

These are times when it is important to 'follow the light'. And often, that light speaks from our hearts and comes from the depths of our souls. Authentic, competent leaders generally have very good instincts. Mistakes are made when gut instincts are not followed.


More often than not, following the light is a matter of paying attention to what we already know. God resides within each of us. So, trusting our inner voice is an act of tapping into your goodness and brilliance. It allows us to move out of the darkness and follow the light!

 

  • What would it be like if you had constant access to your best instincts?    
  • How might you listen for and recognize your inner voice?   
  • Are you ready to move out of the darkness and to follow the light?
