Whenever the world is too much with me, I close my eyes and listen. Most often the still, soft voice within whispers its powerful mantra.

Remember what you’re here for.

And then just as quickly, the voice fades into the mists of my mind and I am reminded that my vision is bigger than the upsetting moment at hand.

When we get overwhelmed, we steamroll through life without much thought to our ultimate purpose. We get mired in the details. Our inner voice may speak quietly, but its strength is beyond measure.

What does your inner voice say to you? How often do you hear it and, more importantly, how often do you actually listen?

Remember what you’re here for. Life may be in the details, but you needn’t get bogged down by them.
