Daily Oracle ~ January 31st, 2013: Face Your Adversaries

Are you remaining passive in the face of people or circumstances that morally, ethically, or even physically offend or disrespect you?

Are you aware of injustices or breaches of contract that undermine your sense of safety or self-confidence, yet you're ignoring them?

Are you wondering whether to speak up or remain silent to avoid serious confrontation?

This is a powerful junction in your soul's development where you must refrain from overt over-reaction or attack, but not yield to self-denial or submit to abuses.

Your soul's purpose right now is to step away from all disturbing or threatening situations, but still respond to the violations at hand with a blend of heart and mind.

Your soul's lesson:

Be as objective as possible when interpreting perceived violations, and use neutral and wise outside counsel as a sounding board.

Lay the facts out and study them, and talk it over with a trusted, qualified confidante for unconscious patterns both in your adversary and yourself.

Seek to understand your opposition's needs and motives, but also strive for clarity about your own desires and reasoning as you

work to avoid judgment and self-righteousness.

In other words, listen to your heart, but respond with a cool head.
