"No one checks with an expert outside themselves before saying 'I am happy' or 'I am in love.' We rely on our ability to know ourselves from the inside out." --- Deepak Chopra
No one? On the contrary, I know plenty of people who take a survey before deciding for themselves. They are swayed by others' opinions and pronouncements. Sometimes this is quite evident in my conversations with them. A barrage of questions and concerns cause panic about every life choice imaginable, such as:
Personal responsibility can be a bit daunting sometimes and assigning blame and accountability seems easier. However, choosing the doorway to happiness is up to you, up to each person.
Outer knowledge is objective and inner knowledge is intuitive. Yes, there is a tug of war between Reason and Intuition from time to time, however you must depend on your connection with GOD thru your own Soul for discernment.
We each have FREE WILL. By going inside of ourselves and LISTENING we can gain awareness of our inner guide (that space within where God talks to). Here is the link to Part One of my "Listening to Your Inner Guide" series of five posts that I wrote a couple of years ago.
Refresh yourself with practice and knowledge of these key concepts. Take Deepak Chopra's statement to heart. And more importantly, become a person who is consistently "happy" and "in love" with Life by knowing yourself!

Sometimes this is quite evident in my conversations with them. A barrage of questions and concerns cause panic about every life choice imaginable, such as:
- Should I take this job?
- Am I happy? Will I be happy?
- Is _____ my soul mate?
- Am I really in love?
- Should I stay married?
- Can I trust my husband/wife/sister/brother/mother/father/child/friend/coworker/lawyer/doctor?
- Am I going to have children?
- Should I move to Arizona or New York?
- Should I worry about my children's life choices about education, career, finances, spouses, and children?
