1. Find Your Truth
The noise within us is loud and prevents
us from hearing this inner truth. We self-
sabotage our lives with our own negative
ego-chatter, by making decisions based
upon our emotions. This inner noise can
squash the ability to hear that innate truth.
The chatter of our ego can be loud. Think
of this chatter as the caddy-gossiping-
neighbor who wants to always be better than
you. Our egos fill us with self-doubt. They
tell us not to take risks that seemingly are
unwise. Learning to tame this inner critic is
necessary for finding our own truth.
The best way to tame this is to differentiate
between the voices within. When you hear
that
caddy-gossiping-neighbor’s
voice
inside of you, it most certainly is your ego. It
speaks with a negative, judgemental words
and tone. Through quiet meditation and soul
practices, you will find your truth. Your truth
speaks to you in love and light. Indeed, you
may even feel the language and tone foreign

To discover your truth,
however, we must un-
derstand that while we
have emotions, they do
not define who we are
and we do not have to
make choices based on
our emotions.
emotions. How boring would life be without
them! To discover your truth, however,
we must understand that while we have
emotions, they do not define who we are
and we do not have to make choices based
on our emotions.
Think back to a time when you made a choice
based solely on your emotions. Perhaps it
was a purchase or a choice of significant
other or something else. How well did it
serve you? Now, think back to a time when
you made a choice based on your gut instinct
that inner truth. You may not even know why
that was a good choice when you made it
but you knew innately that it was the one to
be made. How well did it serve you? I bet the
latter choice was a better one because you
made it not following your emotional self but
rather following your truth.
When you recognize this difference, it
becomes simple to allow your emotions to
flow and release rather than have them run
your life. Your truth will rise and decisions
