Don’t Blindly Accept The Expert’s Advice!
Posted By Mary on November 10, 2009
Today we hear all the time through the media ‘experts’ giving us advice on every aspect of our lives. This can range from having a drink spilled over you – go to your lawyer and sue, to global warning – pay extra taxes. Every where every day this is happening, so have we become so reliant on expert advice that we have lost the ability to think for ourselves? Do we blindly accept everything the experts tell us? If we do then we are giving up accountability, that vital quality of being able to ‘think for ourselves’ and make our own decision.
Most people do not realize that today, many of their thoughts are not actually their own, they have been programmed in by experts, without anyone really evaluating, checking or researching these facts for themselves. We simply feel if an ‘expert’ advises then it must be right.
But how many times have you also heard the experts disagree?
This expert advice also extends to teachers, parents, siblings all manner of people in your life and whilst I am not saying you go into a state of anarchy and rebellion, what is need is to think through and evaluate what is right for you.
You not only have the right but the responsibility to decide for yourself what YOU wish to think. How YOU wish to act and what decisions need to be made in YOUR life.
First though you need to discover what are your actual thoughts! Now that may sound a bit odd but as I said above, you may be surprised to discover that a lot of your thoughts are actually someone elses’ – an expert! Further examination of these thoughts may show that some are actually dis-empowering and need to be eliminated.
You were not born on this earth to be a robot! To simply ‘follow the rules’ hoping that by so doing you will ‘fit in to society’. You were born a unique being with the ability to create your own life path. The ability to make your own decisions by tapping into your own inner self and expressing your own inner wisdom – not blindly accepting the viewpoint or doctrine of some expert, guru, teacher or social program.
It is necessary to understand that as a creator every thought you have is creating your world. What will you create? A prison or a beautiful garden, paradise on earth? I am sure you would answer that your preference would be a beautiful paradisaical garden, worthy of your own unique creative powers.
To create your own Heaven on Earth you need to tap into your own inner self, higher self or whatever name you chose to call it by. Eliminate all thoughts which are not yours and replace them with your own self -empowering ones.
Be warned though, there are those who will say that relying on your mind is dangerous – that doing so is egotistical. Some schools of thought will actually argue that we ‘think too much’ and need to reply more on our emotions and instincts. Sadly, these schools miss the point entirely because the issue is not whether you or anyone else thinks too much but rather WHAT VOICE DO YOU LISTEN TOO – the voice of your ego – or that of your higher self?
Experience, practice in meditation, intuition and other clues will help you to recognize the voice of your higher self. It does take time and practice but as with everything the more you chose to look within, your ability to recognize and act upon the guidance of your own Higher Self will become easier and easier.
So don’t just blindly reply on what the experts say – take control of your life and create your own beautiful garden right here on earth.
