| Following Advice
B"H Following Advice ---------------- There is no place for worry. You try to decide a course of action. If you do not have the experience to decide, ask the advice of someone who does --a parent, a teacher, an expert --someone reliable, but also someone who is conscientious of your spiritual path. Once you have decided what should be done, follow that course, confident that since you are doing what you believe in, the Master of All Things will support your decision. Shalom!

Best You're taking things a little out of context today, yes? How about some coffee, this isn't like you. Quote:

I often share that if you are only giving your opinion, keep it to yourself. If you are sharing your experience, I am all ears. I believe God places people in our paths with the experience we need at the time, for the purpose of helping us in our spiritual growth.

"I believe God places people in our paths with the experience we need at the time, for the purpose of helping us in our spiritual growth." Well said, and absolutely true. Through others, I often hear G*D's plan - when I am willing to listen with an open mind and heart. And I too appreciate that support and guidance - from those who are reliable and conscious of my spiritual goals. I've been very blessed to have had many such people in my life. There is a reason for that, too. Thanks L'Chaim! (To Life!)

My apology to how I worded my post. A collection of verses have been on my thoughts for about a week and I believe that is what prompted my rudeness. Vain chasing... pride and vanity within one's own thoughts... Seeking one's own way... A taking what you want and rejection of the rest. A pick and choose. Smorgage board religions and life styles. All things of my past. All things I look back on with remorse. A anger of sorts at self for the blindness I held to and now a sadness of sorts as I see others I have talked with over the past couple of weeks (face to face) as I see some of them chase after emptiness as they battle that still small voice inside that tells them what is right and good. Historyteach I am sorry for the rudeness of my reply to your heart felt post. Ann and namommy I thank you both for guidance and correction. I will try to think before I type and not let emotions guide me. Though I may understand what brought me to post as I did... it still wasn't proper. My apologies and thankfulness to you for guidance and forgiveness.

Best, when nice people like you have a bad day, it makes people like me feel more normal because it happens to the best of us, no pun intended.  Hugs Ann

Best, No apologies necessary for our emotions. Our feeling are real and they are ours. You obviously were meant to post that way, have it pointed out, so you can look inside for the core of what was bothering you. God DOES work.

| Taking advice
this is one I have great difficulty with myself. I often feel that I prefer to go to someone who is professional,who is trained because at times, the advice I was given was biased and judgemental,but at times,true very helpful.if I look at myself ,I have a tendancy to give opinions but it's after 14 years of therapy, I only want to share what I've learned if I can.Having said that, nobody knows what happens really in a situation,that's why it's so difficult.All I can do is listen to someone who is going through a difficult time without taking responsability for the emotional isssue at hand. Just my opinion  Tiger |

I am in the worst case of a financial situation at 58 years of age and not knowing what to do or how to ...Not much personal income, only depending on a person that keeps remained me what his doing for me since a lost my assets due to a wrong choice. I can not seem to find a path to follow..And today I just found you all..just what I need to regain my peace of mind and start thinking what and how to do..things all over again... "Though there is certainty a place for decisiveness and action, there is also a place for patience.. Wait for the sunrise.there will be another day. Wait for guidance... learn to be still. Wait for wisdom..it will come with experience. Wait for growth..it happens in the fullness of time. Wait and contented..it is a secret to inner peace. There is a time to ACT, but there is also a time to wait. Learn how to tell waht time it is, for great things can happen for those who learn to wait." Steve Goodier Ralph W. Emerson said: "Adopt the peace od nature;her secret is patience"
