Listening To The Voice Within You

We often times hear, "Listen to the voice within you"  but what does this truly mean. We live such busy lives that it's a normal occurance to be bombarded by noise all the time. This would include family and loved ones, who feel that they know exactly what we need and aren't shy about telling us. Sometimes we get so used to hearing the voices of everyone else that we forget what our own voice sounds like. Even if our voice is so quiet that it seems like only a whisper, we can teach ourselves to listen more intently so that we can recognize it. It may not seem to be as strong as the voices that we hear from others, but it will never steer us in the wrong direction. It's up to us to listen and trust that it will guide us on our path. Today, just listen to the sounds that surround you. As you begin to recognize them as being outside yourself, you will be more apt to know your own. Listen intently to the voice within you and it will lead you towards your heart's desire.
When it's quiet, it's surprising how much we are able to hear...

(Although I hear my inner voice, it seems to be as confused as I feel. It could be that I'm just not ready to hear what it is actually saying to me, especially if it's a decision that I am not yet ready to commit to. Then for the mean time, I pretend that it doesn't know what it's talking about.)
