Day 9

"If only you would listen to his voice today!"

Generally speaking I am a laid back, easy going person. I don't often let the stresses in my life show outwardly to those around me. The majority of the time this is because I don't let myself get uptight about things or worry about them. But sometimes I have stress and think I can deal with my situations and no one else needs to be concerned with that. Although there are many times that someone does know what is causing me anxiety and my stubbornness makes me block out anyone that could help me. Often I hear that voice inside telling me to do something or I know what is probably the best thing for me to do in a situation - but I want to ignore that voice and follow my own lead. It's purely selfishness. And the problem with selfishness is that it entraps the mind so strongly that we never fully acknowledge that we are not the solution to our own problems. We do need help. I need to rely on another strength to find satisfaction in this life, to fulfill what my purpose is. And there's that voice clearly telling me what to do. But I'm selfish. And selfish people make poor listeners.
