All of them affect our moral compass.<\/p>\n<p>How many times have you found yourself saying, \u201cOh my goodness, did I just say that?\u201d or \u201cI totally just sounded like my mother.\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.californiapsychics.com\/blog\/2012\/05\/becoming-aware.html\"><strong>Even the most self-aware person<\/strong><\/a> can unknowingly internalize another\u2019s moral compass as his\/her own, causing them to react as others might instead of how they really feel based on their own moral compass.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><em>Psychology Today<\/em> suggests that whenever you catch yourself saying something that makes you stop and say, \u201cWhy did I just say that?\u201d it\u2019s something to pay attention to. You\u2019re most likely projecting old emotions on new situations and this may even cause you physical discomfort if you\u2019re really paying attention.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.californiapsychics.com\/c\/c.aspx?lid=119694&amp;utm_source=blog-articles&amp;utm_medium=blog-articles&amp;utm_campaign=cta-psychic-fiona-ext-5178\"><em><strong>Feel like you&#8217;ve lost your moral compass? I bet a chat with Psychic Fiona ext. 5178 could change all that!\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong> True North or Magnetic North<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The difference between true north and magnetic north can be less than 1 degree, but the further into life you take it, that one degree can turn into a big difference. If you truly want to follow your own true north, you\u2019ll need to get to higher ground, or in this case your highest truth. The alternative is to stick your head in the clouds and be led by someone else\u2019s magnetic north. It\u2019s all a matter of choice.<\/p>\n<p>Setting your own moral compass as an adult means doing and saying what feels genuine and comfortable and just right for you alone, regardless of others\u2019 opinions and what you\u2019ve come to view as \u201cnormal\u201d based on another\u2019s point of view. That is truly living life on your own terms.<\/p>\n<p>Unless you\u2019re fulfilling some serious karmic debt, as an adult you\u2019ve come to gauge your own moral compass\u2014you have your own set of rights, wrongs and in betweens. We need only look at headlines just within the 21st century to see that more and more people are living life on their own terms. What was once hidden is now part of our new normal and with those changes, millions of people are now freer to live life on their own terms and follow their own true north.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.californiapsychics.com\/c\/c.aspx?lid=119716&amp;utm_source=blog-articles&amp;utm_medium=blog-articles&amp;utm_campaign=cta-psychic-venus-ext-9463\"><em><strong>Stop making the same mistakes in every romantic relationship!

For instance, you might say, \u201cWell, if I just put this aside, maybe they\u2019ll accept me.\u201d But wait a minute. That doesn\u2019t feel right. In fact it feels very wrong. It can leave you feeling a little conflicted. Setting your own moral compass and following true north is a matter of personal choice, but the truth is you don\u2019t need anyone\u2019s approval to live life on your own terms.
