Heart-Based Decisions
by Debbie Milam
 Each
and every moment we are given the wonderful gift of free will to make choices.
These choices can be as simple as choosing what to wear or what to eat. Personal
choices rarely affect another person.
Then there are intrapersonal choices, decisions that affect another person.
Choices like deciding to be kind instead of right, the choice to honor the
divine presence in your loved ones, the choice to choose love instead of fear.
These decisions not only have a profound effect on the other person they also
deeply shape the person you are.
Finally, there are choices that affect our planet. Choices like making wise
environmental decisions that can bring the earth back into harmony and balance.
Choices like electing world leaders who value humanity and will strive to serve
the greater good of all. These choices have long term ramifications and can
shape our global experience.
When making difficult decisions that affect another person or the entire
planet it is essential that we take time to go within and receive the clarity to
make the highest choice possible. Here are four simple steps to guide your
process:
- Learn as much as you can about the issue or issues. Read as many sources
as possible to get to full picture of the situation, many times the truth is
somewhere in the middle.
- Listen to the intentions, not the fear. Much of what is portrayed to us by
politicians and the media is fear-based. See beyond the illusion.
- Take several deep breaths and go to your higher power. Ask for guidance so
the truth can be clear. Invite God to help you make a decision that will serve
the greater good of all.
- Imagine the outcome of your choices in one day, one month, one year, five
years. Then imagine the alternative choice in the same way. Which feels better
in your heart? Which choice has the potential to raise the consciousness of
humanity? Which choice can bring about peace?
For those of us living in the United States, the choice each of us will make
on the first Tuesday in November warrants much thought and introspection because it will affect our
lives and the lives of our children for generations to come. Please take time to
go to your higher power and make a choice from your heart.
I cannot tell you who to vote for, I believe this is a personal decision that
each of us must make. What I do ask is that you make a conscious heart-based
choice. That you take time to intentionally consider the plans each candidate
and their running mates have for bringing the United States of America back to a
place of trust, prosperity, and peace.
For those of you around the world I ask you to please pray for clarity and
integrity for the American voters. This election holds global ramifications and
needs as much light as possible.
What an awesome responsibility it is to have the free will to make
heart-based decisions. The time is now to go within and discover the truth that
can serve the highest good. The world is waiting for your choice, are you ready?
