On: Your shoes

Never mind what you think anyone else would do if they were in your shoes, Dear One.  Never mind what you think they would say, or how you think they would react, or what you think they would feel  — Because the truth is that it will never happen.  No one else ever could, ever will, be in your shoes.

You are the only one of you that there is, that there ever will be.  This is your life.  You are meant to experience it any way that you choose.  We hope that this knowledge boosts your confidence in your ability to make the right decisions for yourself.  Remember, Dear One, you are the only judge on the panel whose opinion counts.

That does not mean that you should not ask others for their help or for their opinions.  In fact, we believe that doing so is very often a wise and useful thing for you to do.  And we encourage it, whenever you should feel inspired to do so.  There is much that you can learn from the perspective, from the experiences of others.  There is a great deal of benefit to be gained from seeing the world through someone else’s eyes.

Just don’t forget, that their choices, their experiences, their decisions are just that, theirs. They were right (or wrong) for them.  Learn from them, question them, consider them, but when the time comes to choose, to make a decision, your opinion, not theirs, is the only one that matters.

You are the world’s leading expert on you, Dear One.

When you allow yourself to trust yourself, you have very good judgment.

Today, we want to remind you to please remember to use it.
