# Self Listening

Along the path of life, there are many distractions.

Many temptations.

It’s easy to logically talk yourself into what you “should do.”

After all, it makes sense.

Plus, it can be comfortably explained to others.

Less easy, however, is saying “no” to the temptations and the distractions. Saying “no” to what “should” be done.

But, I sense, that is actually the only true path.

Finding the true self, the soul, the spirit voice, whatever that is your compass, magnetically aligning to your true north.

Then listening to it.

Few will understand this. Most won’t.

But that’s ok.

You don’t need them to.
