Life's Lesson for 2009

This entry is not meant to degrade any individual. Nor does it aim at promoting a 'holier than thou' attitude. I'm called to write this down so that I shall always REMEMBER this moment and incident, and more importantly the big personal lesson learned as a constant guide for me from this moment on.

Human being is bestowed with a very potent tool to survive at its most basic function, and to thrive when maximize. This tool is our instinct, our inner voice - that nagging thought that seems to linger at the back of our head. Some people have the gift of being able to listen well to their instinct, others have this mechanism intact, however due to multiple external factors seem to have lost the ability to keenly adhere to their own survival tool.

Looking back at my life, I have to say that I'm blessed with strong instinct. Unfortunately, I fall into the latter group of people described above. I especially have very good instinct about people. I can usually feel (as opposed to 'tell') people's energy around me and feel whether it brings about positive resonance or otherwise. There are a few people who for good or for bad, fall into the uncool vibe category. Unfortunately for me, even after several signs I stuck to giving chances, thus putting my instinct aside. And so, again today having to deal with the ugly side of people, I humbly surrender to that important life's lesson.

I have Allah and my mastery training to be grateful for, for not jumping up and blowing my lid off that time when I was shown the truth. It was easy to let go and realize the foolishness of dragging myself into mud and to see in utter clarity the lesson that was intended for me to see. That I should trust my instinct and let me clearly state that in no way does that imply burning bridges. Instead, it should guide me in gaining invisible insight to supporting forces versus non-supporting ones.

This is a very important lesson, one well learned and although I should tell myself, 'I told you so!', I'm committed to remain at peace within and I better damn well LISTEN TO MY INSTINCT from this point on!
