You Always and Only Listen to Self

Namaskar. I am grateful for all who came before me. My elders, my parents, siblings, friends and oppressors. Along with those who I am grateful for, I am extremely thankful for ME. Through the lesson and stories from others, I have come to realize that I only and always listen to myself.
We only do what we are told when we choose to. Even when we are given a message from others; we determine when and why we want to do something based on the situation and circumstance. Life is unique and lived by us, all differently. A single moment can influence people in different ways and affect one person in many ways. That same moment can shape our character and effect decisions we make. Have you ever received a compliment that meant nothing until the moment when you believed that statement was true about yourself? Or have you received advice that you perceive to be true but won’t believe it until you find out yourself? The only reason is, knowledge comes from the application of information and the individual only does the learning. In the process of application, we listen to the only teacher that is ever present, ourselves. Nature and nurture are our coaches and how we interpret and apply their information is exclusive for all of us.
Respect is a way for us to show thanks to others for reminding us how to acknowledge self. When we are shown respect and love, we are reminded of how we should treat ourselves. Immediately we reflect that onto others because we want to reveal the same emotion. That degree of connection only happens when we allow ourselves to choose connection. When others show us respect, love and hate we choose to connect with the experience we want to have in that moment. We always and only listen to ourselves to have the experience we want to have in that present moment, even if we decide to share in the experience presented.
We choose to be open to the unknown; we choose joy when we are grateful. We choose appreciation, when loved. We choose respect to defeat hate, and we choose love to comfort. We are all reminders for one another on how to treat ourselves. We have many ways we look at ourselves in expediential situations. We reflect with the many faces, shapes, sizes, emotions and expression of others; all are unique and for the purpose of what they are NOW! What we go through, who we are, and who we become will always, and only be because of how we teach ourselves and apply the information we choose.
