The Messenger Must Know When To Hold Her Peace

Ever heard of “less is more?” Well, there is a lot of spiritual truth in the saying. It is especially valid in this day and age, where everyone seems to have preconceived ideas and strong opinions on just about everything. Sometimes saying less, or even saying nothing at all, is enough, and usually for the best.

Saying nothing can be very empowering and liberating. We have free will to choose how we want to spend our time and energy. I choose to focus on things that are for my highest good, and those I care about.

It is not our duty to correct every misinformed opinion or ignorant viewpoint we encounter. Does that mean we should be self-absorbed and uncaring? No, certainly not. But we can also not make the world a better place by wasting our precious time and energy trying to fix everyone, and correct everything, while our own inner peace and well-being suffers.

Compassion, charity, and kindness are all much needed in the world today, but not if it is constantly at our own expense. I therefore prefer to wisely pick my battles, and stick to my lane. One person cannot be everything for everyone. We must focus on our own unique strengths and capabilities when helping others.

If we randomly go out on a limb to help everyone with advice and support, it is often not appreciated and frequently met with negativity and resistance. Not to mention trying to point out the facts or truth of a matter, which can be very risky these days! There are some things in life people just need to figure out for themselves. They don’t always need to hear it from us.

This is a life challenge those of us who are seers and sensitives tend to deal with a lot, especially in our personal lives. Because we see, hear and feel things on a deeper level, we try to help by offering sincere insight and guidance that is sometimes met with unappreciative hearts. Many experienced psychics, mediums and healers also know that working with family, and even friends, is often not a good idea. I have certainly learned the hard way not to go there.

In the beginning, it can be extremely difficult to not spontaneously share what is in your heart and mind, especially when you can clearly see the writing on the wall. But we eventually learn to keep our truth to ourselves when necessary, and to share less, because we know from experience that people often do not want to hear, or be reminded of things they already intuitively know to be true.

The first instinct is often to shoot the messenger. So, to protect myself from feeling drained and depleted, I simply don’t anymore. Doing and saying nothing is also something. We can know the truth, but still let them figure it out on their own. We are all on a spiritual growth journey in this lifetime, and we all learn at our own pace and in our own way. And that is okay.

I have found that holding my tongue and not always sharing my views really saves me a lot of grief, time, and energy. I used to be that person who would overshare and reach out with a giving heart, only to overextend myself. Well, not anymore.

Ultimately, we have just one moral duty: to reclaim large areas of peace in ourselves, more and more peace, and to reflect it towards others. And the more peace there is in us, the more peace there will be in our troubled world ~ Etty Hillesum

I find my physical, mental, and spiritual health to be much better when I mostly keep it to myself. I have more energy and inner peace, and use this positive state to be of better service to my clients, and those who care to share in the gifts I have to offer…and who are open to the truth. This is much more meaningful and rewarding because it is appreciated, and it truly helps to change lives for the better.

Due to our calling in this lifetime, lightworkers, empaths, and spiritually gifted people tend to want to assist wherever they can. It is in our nature to be giving, loving, and compassionate. We want to help for the greater good. But sometimes what we feel the need to share can also set up walls, trigger conflict and denial, and hinder the karmic growth and healing journey of others.

The messenger must know when to hold her peace. All things happen in divine timing by divine design, including spiritual learning, growth and understanding. Sometimes folks just need to figure certain things out on their own. To sometimes say less, or even hold your tongue can also be a gift and blessing to others. And sometimes it is the best and only way to truly be of service.
