      The 4 Decisions - Mary Lenihan

      DECISIONS?

      CHAPTER ONE

      PAUSE FOR INSPIRATION – THE 4 DECISIONS

      The following was received from Inspiration Within as I chose to Pause, Step Back, Step Aside and Let Inspiration Guide.

      I experience these words as being for the world and myself. This Is For The Whole World are the words that resounded in my mind as I began receiving the material for this book from Inspiration Within.

      Here is my experience. The 4 Decisions is a message, an Inspired message. I heard the phrase Pause, Step Back, Step Aside and Let Inspiration Guide while writing Inspired To Be Truly Helpful (now an audiobook). Often I would notice this Inspired phrase coming into my mind at just the right moment. When someone asked, What does ‘Pause, Step Back, Step Aside and Let Inspiration Guide’ mean, I did not want to give this person an off the top of my cubicle head answer, so I decided to Pause, Step Back, Step Aside and Let Inspiration Guide. I asked Inspiration Within, What does this phrase mean? I heard from within, They are each a decision. Then I was given The 4 Decisions. Here they are!

      PAUSE:

      The decision to stop in this moment.

      STEP BACK:

      The decision to get out of my own way.

      STEP ASIDE:

      The decision to invite Inspiration Within to help.

      LET INSPIRATION GUIDE:

      The decision to choose my Inspired Mind and follow the Peace and the Wisdom of Inspiration.

      Suggestion: The 4 Decisions is specific in that it is here to potentially bring you help with any relationship, communication, activity, situation, circumstance.

      Pause your mind;

      Wherever you are, whatever you are doing and

      Whomever you are with.

      In fact, you need not have a specific reason to practice The 4 Decisions other than to experience Peace. So, you may begin your practice with the thought of something you would like help with or if nothing comes to you right now, practice The 4 Decisions simply to receive Peace into your mind. You have nothing to lose. At the very least, you may experience helpful, simple relaxation.

      What is Pause For Inspiration?

      Pause For Inspiration is not a theory, metaphor, religion or philosophy. Pause For Inspiration is a practice.

      It is a practice in being aware of the presence of Inspiration Within in our breathing, sleeping, waking, working, up time, down time, in the world time. It holds great potential for the one who is willing to put it into practice.

      Pausing for Inspiration in the midst of the mundane brings Life into life so we may experience truly living.

      What is Inspiration?

      Inspiration is the Living Presence of Love here and with us now, companioning, comforting, and guiding us in the living of our everyday lives in the world. Its Source is Love itself, infusing LIFE into all living things. Inspiration’s strength is unsurpassed, its wisdom without fear of any kind and its peace the assurance we all seek. It is the Help in our present need. To turn away from Inspiration is to be dispirited. In our dispiritedness, Joy turns to despair, restlessness overshadows Peace and our sense of Worthiness and Purpose is whisked away like a thief in the night. We are left searching in empty rooms, seeking solace in broken hearts and looking for reality among illusions. Inspiration is the spirit of true creativity, the giving in forgiveness and the willingness to love and let Love, love you. We can turn towards Inspiration any time, anywhere and receive in all its’ giving. Pause and receive. The Source of your being is Love. Inspiration is the bridge to your very being.

      What is Your Being?

      Your Being is who you are. You have already touched upon it several times in your life so you know to what it is I speak. It stands out, it quiets, it stills, it moves, it Inspires because it is Inspired.

      Unawareness of who you truly are
