Don’t give your truth away to others’ opinions! ~Bertha
“How many people should I consult…before I make an important decision?” Have you ever asked yourself that question?
Well…I don’t know that I have directly…but I know…I have been stricken with…consulting-itis…in the past…whether I continuously asked opinions until I finally got one that I like…or I was truly confused and didn’t know what was the best thing to do…
Finally…I asked…Bertha…and for once…she shut up…which you know is not like her…she reminded me…that I am the only one…who really knows…my truth…I’m the only one in this exact situation…I’m the only one learning the lessons that I need to learn…growing where I need to grow…
She also said…that I could ask a thousand people…and they would have different answers…and once I’ve asked them…they all…EXPECT…me to do what they suggested…and are sometimes quite offended if I don’t…which opens a whole ‘nother can of worms…
So…she said…the best thing to do…is to stop…listen to my heart…pray… meditate…and…then…when I know the answer…to live my truth…unafraid…
Works like a charm…give it a try…if you have difficulty hearing your truth…Bertha…and I would love to help you with that…just drop us an email… janecarrollauthor@charter.net
Jane…
What about you? What’s your experience with listening to your truth instead of asking opinions? I’d love to hear in the comments…
Good advice! I like to hear what others advise me to do too but you’re right that ultimately it is up to us so we also need to tune ourselves into the conversation 🙂 Hugs
It really is…and I find that more and more…I know who to ask…because I know who repeatedly has negative advice. 😉 Happy decision making!
