“You do not ask too much of life, but far too little.”—A Course in Miracles
When I was in junior high, listening to the radio with friends, we played a silly game. We’d declare that the next song, whatever it might be, was a message from our current crush.
We took turns and, while said crush most likely had no idea we even existed, we were convinced “the next song” was an accurate portrayal of our love affair.
We waited with much anticipation. What was our “true love” about to reveal? Would it be Barry White’s “You’re the First, the Last, My Everything? Would it be “Love will Keep us Together” by Captain and Tennille? Or, alas, would it be “Tears of a Clown?”
Either way, we listened with our whole being.
That’s how I feel about listening to my inner guidance, my cosmic concierge. I get excited, eager to learn what it is about to reveal. But unlike songs on a radio dial, this frequency is the real deal–a true communion with my inner being.
If I go in with an open mind, not having a clue what “song” will play next, I get better, clearer answers. It’s hard, after all, to talk over someone’s expectations and opinions. I like to go in with a blank slate of joyful anticipation and a true desire for accurate guidance.
I also want to mention a couple more things about “clear, unmistakable guidance,” one of my four daily intentions.
Everyone has a connection to their inner being, absolutely everyone. It’s not just Joan of Arc and Moses who get burning bushes. This robust channel of connection was established in our creation. It’s not like athletic talent where some people have it and others don’t.
It’s just that most of us have learned to ignore it. We’ve habituated to listening to the chattering voice in our head. We’re the ones who separated ourselves from this voice of wisdom.
Also want to note that you don’t have to prove anything to get guidance. Or do it in any particular way. It’s a simple reawakening to a capacity you ALREADY HAVE. It’s not like learning to play the mandolin or mastering a Simone Biles-style double back layout.
Dudes, we already know how to do this. It’s natural. Like taking a breath.
Have a gorgeous week! #222 Forever!

It’s so hard sometimes, to believe that you don’t have to work hard at receiving grace this magnificent…old programming, I know…relaxing into living this truth every day and getting better at just being…thank you Pam Grout for today’s reminder.
Thank you, Pam., I needed this today.

You are so cool, refreshing and I just adore your posts and way of thinking!
Thanks for the reminder! Keep reminding me! You are a gift
Could it be that the ancient myth of Adam and Eve reminds us that the “Tree of Knowlege” from which they ate the fruit was perhaps our negative thoughts interfering with our innate connection to “Paradise?”
Love your blog reminders. Thank you. Looking forward to your next book.
Love this reminder so much. Thanks, Pam!
Pam, I love you!
All I have to say is Thank the Dude it’s not like “mastering a Simone Biles-style double back layout”… and thank you, Pam, for the reminders as well as for your loverly wishes for the coming week. All I need do is keep on the lookout for blessings and miracles, right? 💙
Thanks for the reminder Pam
I like your phrase, “Dudes, we already know how to do this.” And so it is!!
Yeah! Amen sister! 🥳 Thank you for this encouraging reminder that tuning in to receive our inner guidance is as easy as breathing, and that we can already do it. We just need to relax, get out of our own way, and listen deeply with an open heart and mind. Yeah! As the kids say today – “too easy”. 😄 Have a gorgeous week yourself dear Pam! 🌷☀️🪴🦋😘
Thank you so much Pam . I have been working the last several years on dropping the blocks between me and Divine guidance. Now I have to figure out how to effortlessly let it unfold rather than working at it.
So, what was the next song for you, if you can remember? Love your posts & books by the way.
Love this. I recently tripped down some stairs and injured my ankle which is currently encased in a moon boot. But I got the message loud and clear from the Dude “slow down”. Gotta listen. Thanks for your loving reminders Pam. 🙏
