“The more faithfully you listen to the voices within you,
the better you will hear what is sounding outside.”
Dag Hammarskjold
We often hear voices. Those voices in our head. Sometimes they can
be weird or bizarre “thoughts.” Other times they can be invigorating,
joyous, inspiring thoughts or “voices.” Sometimes it is helpful to picture
these voices or thoughts as coming from a little angel or devil on your
shoulder depending on whether the thought is one, we know is “right”
or positive (angel) or when we know is “wrong” or negative (devil). In
this way it helps make it easier to do the right thing and avoid doing
the wrong thing. Rarely do the angel and devil show up at the same
time. It is usually one or the other. This can make it a little more
difficult to make the right choice because there is no internal debate
going on. It is all one sided. All we hear is that voice inside our head
trying to convince us it is OK, just this once, or trying to deceive us or
challenge our core beliefs and values. It is OK to hear this voice, let
it speak, then ignore it and do the right thing. If we did not have our
demons, we would not have our angels. Steer clear of what we really
know to be wrong.
