I believe as long as you're moving and receptive to being mindful, the "next right thing" will be presented to you.

do unto others what you would want them to do with you-- this is my way of thinking what the right thing is.

The subjectivity of the concept of "right" staggers the mind due to the various contingencies involved (person, place, time, etc.) From my perspective, the next right thing to do involves having and maintaining the intention to cause no harm to others.

Ya - but how does one win if one only plays defense?

Naturewalker 05 June 10:18PM	MORE \| REPLY \| REPORT \| MARK THIS INSPIRING
Good question. To my mind, having the intention of being mindful and causing no harm, and then translating those intentions into actions to achieve that end suggests an offensive rather than a defensive strategy. That being said; let me ask you a question: What are you tr...

The next right thing to do is to start valuing more all the little things such as friendship and love.

In my opinion, no matter what obsticale is in your wake, the next "right thing" to do is to face each moment with kindness, an open mind and above all, hope...If you face any situation in this way, you will grow from it, no matter what the situation may be....

The next "right" thing to do for me at this time, is making peace with something that I feel anxious about doing... I know it will be being honest and true to myself; trusting my intuition, but it may feel wrong to someone else.

What do you think about checking out your intuition with others? I find that, as often as not, my intuition can be flawed and missing a crucial view. Input from a few trusted friends, colleagues or supporters often helps me discern more clearly. Your tho...

Intuition is a language that is learned & experienced, and often misinterpreted through the lens of hopes, desires and fears. It comes from beyond a place of emotion, but knowing, yet it endures in the realm of those profound states of Grace, joy, love, compassion, forgiv...

Namaste DavidAsheville. I found your comment to be very interesting and was inspired to share with you my feelings about what intuition means for me - I have come to understand intuition to be perception beyond the physical senses that is meant t...

I find it, perhaps, symbolic, that I found your question at a time in my life where I am asking the precise thing of myself. I am feeling powerless, needy, and frightened. Not only do I have a problem finding the nexr "right" thing to do, I have prbl...

Speaking for myself, when I am in that rough spot it is because I am confusing myself with choices and occasionally "creative confusion." So I get up at 6 and journal - because that is what I do to clear out the shit that has accumulated in the previous 24...

David, I am so glad to hear that someone else has "found that one of my life's purposes is to serve as a warning to others" I think that keeping this in mind is what helps to keep me in touch with 'humbleness'.

The next right thing to do is always what your soul guides you to, I believe. Something could be a GOOD thing to do, but if it does not fufill the needs of your soul then it is not the RIGHT thing for YOU to do.

Things greater than you can imagine cannot happen if you invest in the outcome.

Please carry this thought further. I am not totally comrehending.

Needing to know what is next leads to an expectation that that is what will happen. There becomes an investment in that outcome especially when you believe it to be the right outcome. But what if you just go with the flow and let happen what will happen? ...

The next right thing for me to do is to work on writing the book that James and I are co-authoring -- and to turn to that project with energy, strength, grace, and faith!

Lauren, I am thinking of writing a small book about what I have learnt from my journey and am looking for strength, courage to fulfill my dream. I need help mentoring? Can you help thanks Shamin

Dear Shamin. How wonderful that you are writing! I am not sure I am the mentor you seek, since I myself am in the process of understanding what it means to be a writer. I can offer this to you though: Write. Every day. Get something on paper. Tell ...

To listen to your heart and know that it is the right thing to do. Your heart is connected to the Great Spirit...it is that still, small voice that gently guides you and comforts you. Peace & love
