Daily Inspirational Quote August 21 2014
“Every human being has, like Socrates, an attendant spirit,
and wise are they who obey its signals.
If it does not always tell us what to do,
it always cautions us what not to do.”
- Lydia M. Child
So many of the problems we are always dealing with could be avoided if we just listened to our inner voice. Something will be tapping at us from within, trying to get our attention, telling us to stop, to think again, but we’ll just shrug it off and push forward. It may not always be easy to figure out what we should do because there are so many potential paths to fulfillment, but it’s pretty easy to figure out what not to do, for our instincts are ever ready to protect us from making regrettable decisions.
