Hard to make a decision in or about your life? You are never alone. Consult your masters in life!

For three weeks no blog. Just because I could not find the time. I got an unexpected visit of my two children because of my birthday and we got a lot of guests. 

Today a new blog about the power and message Masters in your life.



Masters in Life

The voices of others shall always stay in 'our house', but they should not take over.
You live there and it's your voice that may sound there loud and clear.
That's the voice you can trust, one who knows what is best for you,
that understands your rhythm and knows your destination.

(Patty Harpenau)

Every human knows his personal teachers / masters in life. A very small 'select' group that is there to your best interest and which you trust like none other. People you put only therefore naturally on a pedestal. Although they may already be deceased or not personally nearby with you, you can still consult, reflect and/or deliberate with them. Asking questions or, from your experiences even literally hear your Master(s)’s answer in a certain issue in your mind.

Although they, like the above sentences by Patty Harpenau indicate, should not take over our will power, they can sincerely help you with all kinds of questions. You might call that woolly and if so then simply do not use it. Wasted opportunity I would like to say. Your Master in your life is (or your Masters are) unbiased, sincere in the best for you and knowing you in many cases better than your own pocket. You really can build and trust on Masters in Life, your teachers.

Dealing with a question in your personal life? Hard to find or get an answer how to deal, where to go or what to do? I offer you a simple exercise.

Here, on this place where you are right now, I want to ask you to take a moment to stand still and take time for your Masters in life. Please follow the next instructions:

  • Who is / are your Masters in Life (already passed away and/or still alive)? (call them by name, write down their names).
  • Find a silent place and hide for disturbances for a while. If you want you can burn a candle as an invitation for your masters to join you for a while.
  • Invite your masters to accompany you in a personal meeting and imagine them sitting around a table. You are the chairman/woman.
  • Just explain what’s going on in your life and what makes it hard for you to decide.
  • Drop your question now on the table and give some time for your masters in life to make up their mind or to connect with the thing you are dealing with. 
  • Now, after a short period of silence, one by one watch your masters in their eyes and invite them to respond or reflect.
  • Listen carefully (sometimes it will take a while before response comes.). 
  • Now, after listening to the response, make up your own mind (again) to make a decision. Keep in mind the voices in your head you heard were not your voices. Still you have to make your OWN decision. Do not be shy to accept change in life. If you do not accept change you do not accept personal growth.

Know that master(s)/teacher(s), like no other are willing to care for YOU and can and want to be your guide.
