Our “inner life” is a colorful way to refer to our sense of self as reflected in our ability to examine and accurately track the many facets of who we are as an individual: our thoughts, hopes, dreams, feelings, beliefs, and instincts; our “good” parts and our “bad;” and our spiritual, physical, and relational health. A healthy inner life is generally regarded as one where we have a fair control over our emotions, good self-awareness, and clarity about our values and purpose.
To listen to the soul is to slow down, to feel deeply, to see ourselves clearly, to surrender to discomfort and uncertainty and to wait.
