Hallo, Blog readers everywhere:

Hypothetical situation: You have a best friend, grammar school, high school, college, you have been buds. You find out that this best friend, male or female, is about to do something really stupid. What do you do? You talk to him or her and try to persuade him or her not to do it.

Real situation: Are you not your own best friend or you your own worst enemy?  Easy answer, you are your own best friend. Real answer, not always. You are about to do something incredibly stupid, it could lead to terrible consequences but did you listen to that little voice of your friend inside, NO, you went right ahead and popped that amphetamine pill, you had that extra drink too much, you did have that extra piece of pie, you did have that drag down fight, you did steal that money, fill in the rest, because why? You did not listen to your own best friend, that little voice inside of you. You listen to that voice of indulgence, that voice of least resistance, that loud overbearing voice of self gratification. Until you recognize your voice of reason, the voice that wants what is best for you, the voice that has your interest at heart, you will be stagnant in your growth, you will not have that life of abundance, that life of robust health, that life filled with happiness. How do I know all that. I have done that and been there. I did not listen to my inner voice for my first forty years. Result; misery, bankruptcy, physical ruin, moral bankruptcy. Finally at the end of my rope, I recognized that inner voice, calling and calling, this time I did not hang up but listen. Result; complete recovery, abundance financially, health and happiness.

How do I get in touch with that inner voice, is it difficult? Not difficult, but the easiest thing in the world. All you need is a quiet place, your bedroom, even your bathroom, a quiet bench in a park, a place under a tree in a grassy meadow, a spot overlooking the ocean or a river. Close your eyes and try to chase all the thoughts that constantly trying to drown out that voice away. You will hear that voice, heed its advise, listen carefully and your life will change. Meditate, there is never a wrong way to sit quiet and listen. The little voice was there always, did you hear it always, No, there are other voices, much louder and more demanding, more temporarily satisfying, more to your liking. You must choose, a life that was mapped out for you to be great, or a life that can lead to one disaster to another. Each time you come to a fork in the road of your life, listen to your best friend, yourself. This is my thought for today. Read more about it in my book,Polynesian Dreams.
