To what and to whom do you listen?
Do you take the time to screen for the voices, messages and music you want to hear?
Are you willing to be the one who chooses what you listen to?
Can you forgive, erase, delete the messages that upset, confuse, deny your worth?
We have been programmed by the auditory, visual and kinesthetic messages we have received.
We have allowed them to impact our beliefs, our values, our behaviors and our self esteem.
We have often believed ourselves to be what we have heard and seen and felt from others.
We have taken in the good, the bad and the ugly, often without discernment or selective awareness.
When we choose to be conscious and empowered, we choose what we listen to and for.
When we have decided to be successful and fulfilled, we choose what we want to seek and find.
When we imagine there can be a better way to live, we choose to listen only for the affirming voices.
When we become, picky, selective, sensitive and discerning, we will select what supports our values.
Visual learners need to perceive positive, helpful, strong and affirming images and sights.
Kinesthetic learners need to feel good, with strengthening, energy enhancing and balanced experiences.
Auditory learners need to select affirming words and loving sounds to listen to.
We are all learning to ingest the best and forget the rest.
Most people believe they have no choice.
They listen to hypnotic commercials, hateful humor, dysfunctional communications and violent news.
When we ingest the worst food, we get physically sick.
When we listen to awful words, we think sick and experience mental distress.
When we allow abusive experiences, we feel sick, and experience emotional dis-ease.
When we watch harmful programs and violence, we fear and defend ourselves against being hurt.
What we take in, we take on.
What we fear, we empower.
What we look for, we will find.
What we perceive, we strengthen in ourselves.
Listen to the silence.
Listen to the wind.
Listen to the sounds of nature.
Listen to the voice of Love within you.
There is healing when you turn your mind to Goodness and God.
There is creativity when you turn your focus to beauty and Love.
There is enjoyment when you turn your emotions to happy choices.
There is peace when you turn to the single focus of the Highest Truth.
Listen for what you truly want to hear.
Let the rest go and it will dissolve in your inattention.
Loving us all into conscious choice,
Choose what you want to hear.
