From birth we are blessed with wisdom that cannot be learned or unlearned, existing whether or not we acknowledge it. This is a gift given to us by the universe before we were born. It is vital that we value and honor this incredible part of our self.

When we do not use our inner wisdom, we begin to doubt our personal truths and are driven to outside sources of information because of fear.

What we know to be true in our hearts is invariably true, and we discover how useful self-trust can be when we recognize our inner wisdom. So listen, even if it doesn’t appear to make sense at times.

This wisdom is not subject to the influences of the outside world, which means that it will never demand that we surrender our free will or counsel us to act in opposition to our values.

We benefit from this inspiration when we open ourselves to it, letting go of the false notion that we are less qualified than others to determine our fate. The wisdom inside of us is the source of our discernment and our ability to identify blessings in disguise.

When we are unsure of who to trust or how to respond to challenges in our life, the answers lie in our inner wisdom. It knows where we are going and understands where we are coming from. Take this into account though it is not a product of experience, but rather a piece of our connection to the universal mind.

In the whole of your existence, no force you will ever encounter will contribute as much to your ability to do what you need to do and be who you want to be as your natural inner wisdom.

Through inner wisdom you reveal your growing consciousness and discover the true extent of your power and strength. If you heed this wisdom with conviction and confidence, the patterns, people, and fears that held you back before will be dismantled, paving the way for you to fulfill your truest potential.

This is just one of the many lessons I learned when I went in search of love at age 49, detailed in my book How To Believe In Love Again: Opening to Forgiveness, Trust and Your Own Inner Wisdom.

Is there karma or justice in love?

I say YES and this is how it works:

You get what you are in love

If you have done no work on yourself. If you are a selfish, self-absorbed soul who thinks everyone else is here to serve you, you will attract that exact same type of person.

I call this the “I want what I want, and I want it now!” personality. If you tend to act like a five year old, don’t be surprised that you continually run into others who are just as selfish as you are.

If you decide to work on yourself through self-help books, counseling, etc. you may find the quality of those you attract also improves. Relationships act like mirrors in our lives, reflecting back our true self. If you wonder how you are doing, just take a hard look at the types of individuals you are presently attracting into your life.

You may believe you have made great progress, and then find that you continue to attract selfish, unsavory souls. This means you have still more to learn about yourself and your own motives in love.

Perhaps you need to forgive yourself for past mistakes in love and trust yourself more, or learn how to listen more deeply to your own inner wisdom or intuition.

These were the lessons I needed to learn to finally attract a much more attractive version of love into my life. These are also the lessons I teach in my new book: How To Believe In Love Again: Opening to Forgiveness, Trust, and Your Own Inner Wisdom.
