“The Voice” is something you should pay attention to. I’m not referring to the show where America's best undiscovered talent goes head-to-head on teams led by four of today's biggest musical icons, who playfully compete against each other while mentoring these inspiring singers in search of the next superstar Voice (according to what the television network has to say about the program — I’ve never watched it).

Your inner Voice is your play-by-play announcer sometimes just narrating the obvious back to yourself, “It’s sure raining a lot.” “That smells odd.” “Those bugs are quite small.” All things I heard in my head this morning. But aside from the random unimportant announcements, there is much wisdom in the Voice.

I am referring to the Voice that is seeking to guide you toward more awesomeness, not any Voice that is saying things like, “You’re a moron.” “You suck.” Or “You’ll never get ahead.” Not that Voice.

Your true Voice comes from your divinity, it is one that is instructional, wise, and seeks to guide you toward empowerment and unlimited potential. This Voice is your access to the challenges and questions that you are facing. When you listen to your Voice you are connecting to the greatest and most powerful part of yourself.

I do have a bit of a warning, however. When you follow your Voice it may cause a bit of internal and external conflict. You might not like what you hear (the good instructional stuff like: “Go exercise” Or “No more cake” Or “Be more loving”) and others might not like how you change if you follow your Voice (your friends might feel more comfortable with the non-exercising, glutton, sarcastic version of you).

As this great quote that I found on Quizio by Michael Pastore says, “It is better to follow the Voice inside and be at war with the whole world, than to follow the ways of the world and be at war with your deepest self.” Listening to and following the Voice is not easy, but if you want to become the person you are meant to be, you’ve got to pay attention to your inner Voice.

What is your Voice telling you that you need to take action on today?
