Lessons In Hope – How Would Your Guide Respond?

We live in enormously consequential times, filled with huge possibilities -both positive and negative. Questions that come to mind are: "How do we respond to the challenges of our times?" and "To whom do we look for guidance?" There is a simple and helpful way of coming to a wise and moral choice. In these moments, all you have to do is pause to consider what your wisest guide would advise you to do.

I really liked the thoughts you provoked in me today, Tony. The idea of the choices I have made in my life and the wise people I have chosen to follow. Somehow I listen and I know instantly if this advice or their ideas click with me. I don’t follow a church any more, but I am spiritual and I recognise wisdom in most religions. I cannot accept every concept. Why and how do I instantly feel at home, or in some cases, turn off the speaker, or walk away in a sort of disgust.
It is interesting. What is it in me that makes these instinctive decisions?
Tony, you are one whose wisdom sits peacefully with me. Thank you.

I really enjoy all your meditations and this is no exception. Thank you 🙏

Hi, Tony,
Inspiring and timely questions and guidance. I have never really adopted an external guide, but I have a daily practice of reviewing the values I wish to cultivate in my life. I set my intention each day to apply them in my decisions and actions. Two of them that help me respond to confounding inputs are clarity and wisdom. Of course they are goals that sometimes elude me despite my best efforts, but having them as goals is a strong guide for me in the day to day.
Thank you for this meditation!
Have a happy day and blessings to you, Fran, and all you love.

I forgot how beautiful that Robert Frost poem is! Really enjoyed this very thought provoking meditation. I am not really sure who or what my guide is just yet, but I would really like to explore this concept and find out.

Thank you Tony. This practice has been very helpful and given me much to explore in my own practice 🙏
