Aspire Magazine: Inspiration for a Woman's Soul.(TM) Jun/July 2019 Aspire Magazine FULL Issue | Page 25

3 ALLOW THINGS TO UNFOLD IN DIVINE TIME. Instant gratification is the expectation of our society. However, the universe does not always subscribe to that notion. There is a divine sequence and order, by which we are best served. When we attempt to deviate from that timing based on our, often material, desires, we get out of sync with ourselves and the universe. Our souls have the desire to experience life and lessons and love. Allow your inner wise self to guide you to those experiences, at exactly the right time. I, specifically, invite my intuition to guide me to things, at exactly the right time in my life. I have learned to discern the opportunities that my ego wishes to see in my environment with those that my intuition guides me to. The best way I can discern, between the two, is the energy around the messages. I was looking for a pair of hiking boots, for a trip I was planning. I could not find the pair I wanted in my size. My ego said - “just buy those, they will be fine.” My intuition said - “keep looking, the right pair is coming.” That afternoon, I received a catalog in the mail and at the back were the boots I was looking for, in my size. For me, ego sounds like lack, suggesting there may never be another chance. Intuition sounds like trust; the right opportunity is coming. As I consider the decisions I am faced with daily, these techniques allow me to make choices from a place that serves my highest and best self. I no longer get misguided by the expectations and fears of others. Reclaim the power that has always been yours and listen to the guidance that you have unlimited access to. Your life is yours to CREATE and YOUR INTUITION IS BRILLIANT. It will GUIDE YOU TO THE PATH that you were BORN TO BE ON, as long as you ALLOW IT! 25 I have learned the hard way that my human knowledge is not wiser than my intuition. I was on my way to an event and I was running a little late. I was guided to take a road that I knew would have heavy traffic. So, in my human silliness, I said “Nah - this other road will be quicker.” So, I took the exit I wanted and cruised down the road about 20 miles, to find that road closed…. And I had to go back to the road my intuition guided me to an hour earlier. Many inconveniences could have been avoided if I had only learned to trust my inner wisdom, sooner.
