8/11/2018 0 Comments Gently Go Your Own WayHere's an inspiring quote from a fave teacher of mine, Edward Bach that's been on my wall for years. Edward was a doctor, homeopath and spiritual writer as well as the founder of the Bach Flower Remedies back in the early 1900's. This quote is from 1931. "Our object in life is to follow the dictates of our Higher Self, undeterred by the influence of others. This can only be achieved if we gently go our own way - at the same time never interfere with the personality of another." I love this wisdom. If only we all did this, all of the time! What a different world it would be. I want to break down the guidance in this helpful quote. Wise Bit 1 - "Our object in life is to follow the dictates of our Higher Self, undeterred by the influence of others.'' I think it's quite a skill to listen to our own inner wisdom and not be distracted by what everyone else is saying and doing. When we allow our egos, rather than our Higher Self (the wise, spiritual aspect of our being) to take control we compare ourselves to others, want what others have, think we aren't doing it right, believe we're not good enough and suffer from all manner of fearful thoughts and frustrations. Wise Bit 2 - "...if we gently go our own way..." What simple, clear guidance. No rushing, no pushing, no someone else's way. Gently is such a peaceful, out breath kind of word; I feel calm just thinking about gently going my own way. Wise Bit 3 - "...never interfere with the personality of another." This is all about boundaries. It makes me think of 'mind your own business' - a classic effective boundary statement. We do get quite invasive with those close to us in particular. We need to remember everyone has their own path, your way is not necessarily the right way for someone else. We can be there for others when they ask for support or help, but interfering and giving advice is control, not love. I hope you find this quote from nearly 90 years ago helpful, I know I do. with light Dawn Image by Imagine_Images on Pixabay
