You are reading from the book Today's Gift
Let your conscience be your guide.
—Jiminy Cricket
Crickets sing on summer nights because it's their nature to do so. They don't think about whistling or trumpeting or sleeping or changing the world. They've figured out their role on earth, and they do it.
We are a bit more complex than crickets, and most of the time that's lucky. In most of our affairs it's our conscience more than sheer instinct that helps us choose those thoughts and acts and feelings that are right for us.
Each of us has that little voice inside, relentless as a chirping cricket, telling us what to do. Even in the middle of our toughest decisions, we always have within us the solution that is right for us. All we have to do is listen-and trust.
What does my inner voice say about today's decisions?

It can still go back to the old way of thinking, `Don`t tell me, show me.`
I was one of the very sick ones and it took me about 3 year to look at myself and take an honest look at myself. As I told my friend, `Reality sucks! You know right from wrong, and if you don`t choose one that is good for your recovery, you go back into old guilt and shame.` You know what you should do, and if you don`t, it is hard to live with yourself, at least it was for me.
