One of the greatest benefits of self-awareness is the access it gives us to our own inner voice. We all have one, even if at times we ignore it or remain totally unaware of its existence. Our inner voice is very private and unique to us. Its purpose, I’ve always believed, is to protect us, help us stay true to our values, and urge us to do the right thing. I believe each of us has a higher, more evolved self within. Often, if we listen to our inner voice, we come to realize that our higher self already has the answers to our questions.

When I was young, my grandmother told my sisters and me that we each had our own star in the sky. How do I tell which star is mine? I asked her. It’s the one that shines the brightest to you, said my grandmother. No matter what you call your inner voice, or what form it takes—your star, your guardian angel, your creator, your God, your highest self—it is always looking out for you.

Your inner voice is always there to remind you that you are not alone. Its goal isn’t to ensure we play it safe or never have fun. Sometimes, in fact, it pushes us to take risks. These days, before I make any decision, I check in with my inner voice. It needs to signal to me a quiet Yes, this is the right thing to do, before I move forward.

Trying to find space in the bed, 2008. That’s Vida in back, Willie up front, and Hazel relaxing next to Tom. (Of course, this is before we had children.)
