This is funny and true for most organizations however it's true for us independently as well.
We manage our lives by consensus. We are often seeking 2nd and 3rd opinions but don't stop there. Even after thinking that we have our answer we still second guess ourselves. We tote doubt and disbelief around whether "it's possible" or whether "we can do it". Self reliance is all but lost and we are now heavily invested in trends, how to steps and rules.
Thinking and reasoning are becoming obsolete.
We share what we are fed. We seem more invested in sensationalism than truth.
No wonder we sometimes feel quietly desperate and off-kilter.
We need to return to figuring out what is best for us across all areas: spiritual, financial, career-wise, relationship-wise, everything-wise.
Of course some guidance has merit however the truth is nobody knows for sure what is or isn't going to work for you.
You are the map maker responsible for shaping your journey and creating your own success.

You may have seen Barack Obama's pic collage wishing his wife a happy birthday with the caption "in every scene you're my star". 7 million plus people liked his post and the comments were generally about love and that it was lovely.
Then there were those comments that were along the lines of "give me a break". While I can't say for certain, what I got from the group that wasn't appreciative of Barack's share was that they thought perhaps this show of love wasn't genuine or possible.
I thought how often in my life I dimmed the light on someone's expression of their joy, whether in relationship, their life's work or some accomplishment. "Just give me a break will ya! Is everything you hadda post so? Steups"
I remember sharing a post and a friend of a friend commented: "stop telling people what to do!" As always I was sharing my thoughts but he felt I was instructing.
What I'm saying is I've looked through the telescope and examined life under a microscope - being picky, mean and terribly judgy.
When I see through the eyes of love life is joy filled, magical and expansive.
When I choose to lead with fear which is everything that isn't love, I feel small, bitter and the satisfaction of putting someone else down and scoffing at their accomplishments is short lived.
We can always choose better or bitter, love or fear, telescope or microscope. - Giselle Hudson

In this last week, on three separate occasions, three different people said to me: let go.
LET GO!
Empty the hurt, pain, unforgiveness...let it go.
No more figuring out, reasoning or trying to make sense of things.
LET IT GO!
I need to understand, stubborn me says.
No you don't.
This is the lesson: in letting go and emptying myself I can repack those experiences that brought me joy; the odd times I showed courage and fearlessness; the times when I was proud of myself; the magical moments when I smiled and whispered "Gis, yuh good inno". We must make room. I didn't realize how packed to the gills I was until I started to cry.
If you're curious as to whether you need to unpack, just check in with your body. Where there is pain, there is fear and in that fear lies all the suffering.
Gently thank fear; be grateful for what it's showing you. Invite fear to sit with you while you drink your tea or coffee.
Make room for blessings.
Make room for abundance.
Let go ❤ - Giselle Hudson
