Taking The High Road

Taking the high road. How often has this advice been given to each of us when encountering an ordeal that would negatively impact the situation if we chose to do the lesser? We all know these words have literal meaning..e.g., as in driving, walking, or running, up on the high road.  Metaphorically, the meaning gravitates to our actions, our character, and our integrity, our self-discipline when challenged with a negative issue or circumstance. Let’s talk.

Unfortunately, we all find ourselves from time-to-time faced with the dilemma that is to the contrary of positive development: closing business deals, building wealth, bridging gaps in relationships only to have your actions being misunderstood, and so much more.

The high road is that space in our minds that we must go to if we choose not to be agitated and impacted by those who choose not to walk the high road. To be descriptive, it is that place where no one nor anything is allowed entry. It is the peaceful stillness that we all possess that only we control and navigate to when faced with negative, contrite behaviors. This too, is quite challenging and here’s why;

At first, we will always want to revert to traditional conditioning (old and lesser behavior patterns) when challenged with less than favorable situations. In my coaching practice, I have termed this as “LVEC” (Lower Vibrating Energy Challenges).

An example of this would be found in the following scenario:  The arrival of the monthly banking statement. Hark! An error in deposits has been noted. A call to the bank elicits help from no one.  At this juncture, which way do we go? What road will be chosen to handle this matter?

By going deep within ourselves, we can choose a higher conscious awareness. We can ask our Higher Selves if we truly need to deal with the situation at this moment. Is the likelihood of a negative outcome possible if we choose to deal with the matter at that moment? If yes, why? Can this matter be placed on our calendars to address at a later date?

Before even attempting to reconcile the matter here is something that can be practiced, energetically, we can create a vision and hold a space for the matter to get worked out easily for the highest and best good overall. Being consciously “aware” impacts everything on a variety of levels.

Personally speaking, since practicing the principles that I teach others in my life coaching programs, my life has gotten simpler and it flows with grace and ease. Opportunities and doors have opened up to me in ways unimaginable.

How we view challenges and moreso, how we choose to handle these challenges reflect in every facet of our lives. The one thing we will always have control over is – our choices. Choose the high road.
