| 'Self-Knowledge is Everything' by HMP © |
Inner-Wisdom is that wisdom of self, wisdom of knowing, wisdom of consciousness and wisdom of conscience. Every human being has inner-wisdom, only some access it or parts of it, and fewer are able to tune into it well enough to use it.
Inner-wisdom is essentially how well we know ourselves and trust our inner truths. We are each born with an individual personality and set of talents. From there we develop interests and gain life experiences that create certain pathways in our brain that can remain forever. Unfortunately sometimes these old pathways are created from unhealthy scripts from our past as well. They sometimes tell us we "shouldn't" or we "can't" do something, and even that we are "not good enough" at something. However, new pathways can be forged and old pathways re-written once we know how.
My friend, Anne, is working in a stuffy, airless cubical with no sunlight doing mundane paperwork for a mostly unappreciative boss. She feels like it's worth it, it pays the mortgage and explains that she gets to go on a cheap Mexican vacation once every two or three years as well. Yet, she finds it hard to get out of bed most mornings and stopped having a bounce in her step many years ago. She admits to finding herself count down the days to the weekend or her next time off. Although she says she's basically pretty healthy, she gets several colds and flus every winter and can't remember the last time she felt overwhelming happiness or insurmountable joy. Someplace in the far recesses of her brain, she really always wanted to be an artist. But she shoved that thought back behind those "how would I ever make a living painting" and "it is ridiculous thought" places. Old pathways are blocking Anne's inner-wisdom. Anne needs to forge a new pathway in her brain and in doing so she will create a new and happier life. A life she was meant to have!
Take some time today to realize the 'old scripts' that are playing such a huge part of your life. Write them down, acknowledge them and then replace them with new scripts. Silence the old - bring in the new!©
