The Cost Of Not Waking Up And Smelling The Coffee

Have any of us woken up to that warming aroma of coffee brewing and been able to ignore it? It’s nearly impossible! But that is exactly what we do to our own inner knowing! It's brewing within us but we ignore it. Unlike missing a cup of coffee, the cost of skipping out on our inner knowing comes at a far greater cost - especially the longer we turn away from it.

Premasudha encourages us to consider acting more on what we know inside to be true. The sooner we face a challenge, the smaller the cost, the less time wasted, and the happier and more relaxed our lives can be. Just gradually, little by little, practice coming forward and speaking the truth more. Speaking truthfully outwardly can help us better hear our voice of truth inside as the barrier of dishonesty comes down and our small voice within has a clearer connection.

There's a spiritual principle, Actually it's a principle in life, That the sooner you face a challenge, The smaller the cost. So I noticed this in my work with people. You know, Almost all of us, When we come to finally wake up on the journey, We think, Ah, We wasted decades. We knew this underneath, But we ran from it. I knew, Years ago, I knew a guy who went through medical school and he didn't take a year off because he was secretly scared that he didn't want to be a doctor. So he didn't, He didn't take the time to just feel into what was right for him, So he, You know, Did all the medical training and he graduated and he hated it. So he had to go back to university and be retrained. He chose something like economics, But it was a big waste, It had a big cost, Because he didn't face what he knew underneath at the very beginning. See, This is what we do, Like, Way too much, Maybe. Maybe we could, You know, Turn and face, You know, Smell the coffee. You know, Those, An example, Another example, Is those poor, You know, Beleaguered Florida property owners who maybe have their life savings caught in their real estate, Which is now tanking because the insurance has gone up a hundred percent, The storms are getting worse, Water is rising. Do you know, But somebody who was listening, Who was letting themselves be more aware, Could have seen the writing on the wall ten years ago and sold their property and bought another property elsewhere, And if they wanted to stay in Florida, They could have rented them, You know, Rented out the other property to help finance the rent of living in Florida. See, It's safer to respond to the truth of things. The truth is like the rock, You know, Christ said, Build your house on a rock, You know, Build it on the truth. So, The point of this video is just to encourage you to think about acting on what you know more and telling the truth a little more, As compassionately as possible, But, You know, If we tell the truth, If we come forward and speak more the truth, We will start accessing our deeper understanding, Our deeper knowledge, Because, You know, If we're not telling the truth in our lives outwardly, Inwardly, This dishonesty makes a barrier and we can't even hear the still small voice within very well. If you just gradually just become a little more truthful, You know, Nobody's gonna, There's no firing squad, You know, If you just say to your partner you don't want to go to some party, You know. Really, I notice we're so scared to just show our cards, To just be ourselves for whatever reason and maybe we have happier, More relaxed, More, You know, Lives where we laugh more when we're more in truth and, You know, Even our real estate might be more secure if we're listening and facing the challenges early rather than just pretending that, You know, There's no threat at all. Okay, Bless your hearts.
