I recently had a dear friend tell me these words of wisdom. Since she shared this with me I have been thinking how many times we have done this through business, relationships, and our finances. We react to situations always based on how we feel. We all know the term YOLO, right? You only live once. Those of us dreamers out there tend to make so many decisions with out even thinking. We feel like we need that expensive car or new pair of jeans because we just got that fat bonus from a new client we just signed. Or how about the time we see a great opportunity for our business so we allowed our excitement to lead us to investing without even thinking how you will feel about it 6 months later? There’s also the time we have the chance to get intimately involved with another person when we are already in a current relationship. How many times have we said ‘YES’ without thinking of how this is going effect the future for ourselves and for others involved in the equation?
We live in a society of I want it and I want it NOW. It’s funny when you take the time to sit back and look at how we handle our wants vs our needs. The analogy of remembering ‘don’t mortgage your future with your present moment decisions’ is really a great thing to think about when you’re feeling over zealous in any situation. I can appreciate this piece of knowledge because until more recently I have been living a lot of my life thinking like a dreamer with making decisions based off how I feel. I guess it’s good to be aware of this, right? I started to think…um am I removing the fun from the definition of myself? Ha! NO!!! I’m simply using my AWARENESS with each situation to make wiser decisions that affect my future and those individuals in my life.
Once you enter into the higher understanding of yourself, all these things come to balance within yourself.
Get in touch with the higher version of YOU:
-Surround yourself with people who lift you up. Sorry to burst your bubble; FIRE some of your friends if they aren’t in line with being authentic.
-Look into doing a cleanse to clear your mind. It can help with evaluating your decisions. Love what this girl is doing. http://carlyshankman.com
-Astrology is a great tool to find out more about oneself. I feel you can learn a lot about yourself through knowing about your sign. This guy is AWESOME! Check out his weekly pele report http://newparadigmastrology.com
“If you obsess over whether you are making the right decision, you are basically assuming that the universe will reward you for one thing and punish you for another.
The universe has no fixed agenda. Once you make any decision, it works around that decision. There is no right or wrong, only a series of possibilities that shift with each thought, feeling, and action that you experience.
If this sounds too mystical, refer again to the body. Every significant vital sign- body temperature, heart rate, oxygen consumption, hormone level, brain activity, and so on- alters the moment you decide to do anything… decisions are signals telling your body, mind, and environment to move in a certain direction.”
