Part of the journey here on Earth is learning how to discipline ourselves to set aside all of the voices and get to that deep voice within.

Sometimes people run out and read a lot of books, but they don't absorb anything from them. They want to read the next popular book.

The real freedom comes to us when we can learn to go inside and connect with that voice. Then, we're not relying on outsiders.

I've come to believe, on the journey of mine, that we have a still, small voice - and that voice does come from God. It's there to bring us comfort and to bring us guidance with everything.

What I have found is that when we get to that still, small voice inside and begin to live by it, we see that that still, small voice doesn't judge us the way we are being judged by others all the time.

I think it's very important for someone going to buy a book, taking a class or listening to a lecturer to ask, "Is this the right thing for me to do now? If it isn't, guide me to what I need."

It always comes back to the fact that it is best to listen to that inner voice, whether you're in a relationship or not.
