How To Tell If Your Choices Are Good or Bad
Copyright (c) 2009 Valery Satterwhite

"The unconscious is our best collaborator."- Director Mike
Nichols

Did you know that you have a personal GPS system within
you?  It will tell you whether or not the turn, the choice,
you are about to make will lead you to your destination or
not.  It will tell you whether you are on the right path to
achieve all that you dream of or on the road to a life
unfulfilled, a dream never achieved.

This GPS system is your birthright.  You experience this
GPS system every day of your life yet you may not know how
to use it. If your life is not going in the direction you
desire, perhaps you are reading its indicators upside down.
Maybe you've done a good job of ignoring or justifying the
alarms it sends off. You just may not be paying any
attention to the darn thing at all!

"To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of
arts." - Henry David Thoreau

Your personal guidance system is your emotions.  Emotions
are indicators of whether or not you've made, or are about
to make, a good choice. Your emotions are served up by your
Inner Being, Higher Self or what I lovingly call the Wizard
Within. Wizards are alchemists.  They know, precisely, how
to turn dreams into reality.  Your Wizard Within is there
to guide you every step, every turn, on your way to the
fulfillment of all experiences you desire.

"Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer
but wish we didn't." - Erica Jong

Simply put, the Wizard Within will serve up a bad feeling
if you're headed in the wrong direction.  Similarly, if
you're headed towards achieving your aspirations you will
feel good! Your emotions artfully guide you every moment of
every day. As a creator of your life experience, you are a
masterful artist!  The question is, what is guiding what
you chose to create?

"Love the art in yourself, not yourself in the art." -
Konstantin Stanislavsky

Use your GPS to guide you as you make all of your choices,
big and small.  I paid attention to my Wizard Within last
Sunday.  I was at Home Depot buying plants for the home I
just moved into.  I paid for my selections and was putting
my plants in my car when an uncomfortable feeling came over
me. "Gee, I bought a lot of plants for $33.89!".  I 'felt'
that something was wrong.  I looked at my receipt and saw
that I was not charged for the two rather large hanging
plants that were hooked onto the back of my shopping cart.

Here I was, in the parking lot, clearly getting away with
my freebies yet I didn't feel good.  In that moment I had a
choice. I could hop in the car and go on my merry way
knowing that I cheated the system or I could march back
into the store and pay for my hanging plants.  Which choice
would make me feel good?  To the sales clerk's shock and
awe, I went back into Home Depot and paid for what was
overlooked.  I felt good again.

Why didn't I feel good about getting away with not having
to pay for my purchases?  It would be one thing if I were
not aware that I wasn't properly charged.  However, I did
know. In that knowing I could choose to be a cheat and a
thief or I could choose to be an honest person. As an
honest person who stands centered in the truth of who I am
there could only be one choice I could make that would be
in alignment with that truth. Being in harmony with your
truth feels good! Inauthentic choices do not feel good.

That experience was a simple example of how your emotions
are GPS indicators of what life direction you are headed
towards yet you can expand upon its simplicity and use it
for all of your life choices, personal and professional.
Use your GPS and Happy Journeys!
