“Usually, I Think About It...”

"Usually, I Think About It... But Not This Time."

I was having a conversation one day with someone, and the conversation was leading me down a path I didn’t want to take. Usually, I would try to stay in an uncomfortable conversation, not to hurt anyone’s feelings and try to explain myself or not say anything. But, I felt an energy that was not conducive and was offensive to my well-being. I responded in a way I hadn’t before. I disconnected instantaneously by reacting to my intuition. In peace and calmness, I disconnected and went about my business without the anger, frustration and hurt I usually feel after being confronted by a negative energy about to present itself to me. I could feel and sense the shift in the air. I responded quickly to the intuition, and it was swift! I stepped away from a combative conversation that was not worth depleting my energy.

My reaction stuck with me for the rest of the evening. I questioned why I felt so peaceful and felt true freedom. By silently shifting my ego second to intuition, I didn’t grant the ego’s satisfaction of proving a point. I walked outside and felt freedom, a peace of mind with love in my heart.

This revelatory experience of reacting with my intuition was to know when to put my ego aside. The battle to act instantaneously with the intuitive voice was simple – I had synchronized in movement! My mind had to be still in that moment of silence, listen and react to the voice of wisdom.  

As I went into my prayer and meditative hours that night, this experience lingered in my mind and soul calmly – with a smile in my heart. Quietly, I prayed and asked, “Why am I feeling peace?” The answer came in an intuitive question; “Why are you so perplexed about your experience?”  In my mind, I answered, “Usually I think about it, but not this time, I let it go! I wasn’t concerned if I would hurt someone’s feelings – I had to save myself!” I sensed a quiet smile that dissipated softly as it came.

Sometimes in our lives, we allow the ego to try and prove itself by having the last word and saying, “I won – I got you!”  Wisdom questions your mind, “Why waste your energy on anything or anyone that will deplete you and take you off your focus? Why allow evil’s ploy of distraction to disrupt your peace of mind and keep you off your true inner path to freedom?” Usually, I give myself some time between creating videos, but when this experience presented itself to me, I knew I didn’t need a pause between videos.  

I spoke to “B SILENT” earlier that evening, and he sent me a couple of soundtracks. One of the soundtracks was “Poetry Again.” When I listened to the music and saw the title, I knew this would be the music I would use. I still didn’t have a poem or lyrics that would synchronize with this fluid soundtrack. I thought about it, and something within guided me to the answer I gave in my meditation, “Usually I Think About It!”

When we over-analyze, ponder and dissect a situation for too long, we lose our purpose in the movement of now. Intuition is trying to guide us without fear on our journey. When will we learn to trust ourselves and fully honor the Trust in God’s Divine Love and Plan? Intuition is calling our faith into action! It’s not as much about the other person or situation – it’s about you and your reaction!  

When we find ourselves in an uncomfortable and confrontational experience, we will understand more when we pass through it. With renewed confidence in our hearts, we will move forward.

Take that step forward in good intent of the heart. Yes, there will be some sacrifices you will make, maybe big or small, or maybe not at all.

We got this! Now, move forward in your journey of completion!
