I Am the Expert of Me

They are all experts. With lots of advice. I am doing things right Except I have done something okay, But I have not had as much experience, so it is their duty. Ha! I listen and I learn and I laugh. I know when to stay, and when to rapidly leave, pretending I have important things to do. My best advice comes from within, From my soul, who knows my past, my present, and maybe my future. All of us are experts. We all know what to do. Because we all have souls. All we have to do is listen to our hearts. But to advise another On what is best for them to do. That is the kind of arrogance I have Run from as fast as I could all of my life. Even my parents did not have these answers. If there is one thing meditation and prayer have taught me it is that I am the expert of me.

This is so very TRUE... I find myself advising my friends when they fail to listen to their own heart. When they tell me what they want & feel- and turn around and do the opposite, I remind them what they SAID they wanted- and they are often shocked to realize that they're going in the opposite direction from where their heart guided them!! I'm thinking this must be your calling as a counselor- to help people hear and heed their own heart! Love this poem!! ;)

I have about thirty paintings that all have these two words painted on them "BE YOU". It is what I do. It is my preaching motto.
