We all have
impulses hit us from time to time. We
face choices day by day of all kinds.
How do you decide?
Your “Truth
Barometer” is your understanding of your honest truth, what is right for
you. This assumes, however, that you
know yourself well, what really works for or pleases you, and what
doesn’t. The more you truly know
yourself, the more accurate your “Truth Barometer” will be, and the more you
can trust it. (Perhaps you can relate
it to your “Moral Compass”, your true value system.)
When faced
with an important opportunity or choice, when sorting out the benefits, ask
yourself “is this option truly right for me in the long run?, “Will I be really
happy or satisfied with the outcome?”,
“Am I REALLY willing to do
what it takes to implement this decision?”.
Multi-level
marketing is a prime example. The vast
majority of folks who get into those programs don’t last or succeed. Why?
Frequently, they were so dazzled by the promise of $$$$ that they didn’t
stop to evaluate whether the opportunity was a good fit for their interests,
temperament, lifestyle, values, desires, time commitment, or whatever.
By ignoring
their “Truth Barometer”, they ended up wasting previous time and resources, and
just experiencing frustration. It’s
usually not that the Opportunity was bogus.
It’s just that for some reasons the “fit” was not right.
The same
can be said for relationships. For
example, tons of girls and women are enticed by a guy with a “bad boy”
mystique. They find him exciting, and
he very well may be so – on the surface.
The vast majority, once they get involved, get their hearts broken, or
worse, abused.
Sometimes
we’re afraid to bring out the Truth
Barometer. We want to follow our
impulses, and fear that a deeper analysis will spoil something for us. Typically, we aren’t consciously aware of
this fear. Yet acting on it, we ignore
the Truth Barometer and barrel ahead.
The Truth Barometer won’t spoil your fun. It’ll save you from pain and frustration.
How many
decisions have you made, only to end up sad, disappointed, frustrated or
hurt? In how many cases, as you look
back on it, would you have chosen differently had you pulled out your Truth
Barometer?
‘Nuff said.
Tigress,
take the time to really become acquainted with your True Self, your honest
desires, skills, talents, gifts, preferences, dislikes, limitations. The larger and more balanced your
understanding of yourself, the more robust and accurate your Truth Barometer
will be.
Ultimately,
it all boils down to your ability to trust
yourself to act properly in your own behalf.
Spend the
time and energy, Tigress. You’re worth
it!
Rise Up and Roar!!
