Do not assume that what I write here is true for everyone!
Do not assume that you know what others mean by what they say or write.
Do not assume that you know what is best for others.
Do not assume that your beliefs are right for anyone else but you.
Often we want to be right.
We want agreement.
We want to know we know.
We want to have the answers.
I am writing what is true for me in this moment of listening within!
I know what I mean in my heart/mind, but words are only a close facsimile of Truth.
I know what is best for me and want what is best for you (but do not know what that is!)
My beliefs change as I awaken and grow spiritually, so cannot know what is right at this time for you!
When I experienced natural childbirth, I thought it was the best thing ever and everyone should know.
Within a few days, I realized that I was wrong.
I wanted to share what was good for me with others so others could have the joy I had.
I wanted to make sure everyone knew about what I believed was best!
I learned!
Everyone is different.
There are an infinite number of paths and possibilities.
Each person must learn from their own choices and experiences and timing.
How can I know what to share with whom?Wait until I am asked for advice, information and counsel.
Offer to share only if the other is truly interested. “Would you like to hear about…?
Be willing to share my experience, position or belief one time only and then let go and listen.
Trust that others are making their own choices with the best knowledge and experience they have.
Give always and only the best I know from my inner guidance and my personal experience/knowledge.
Professionally, people make appointments with me and pay for my time, expertise and support.
Personally, I do not offer opinions, beliefs or information unless specifically respectfully requested.
When someone makes assumptions about what I need or want, it can be interpreted as:You think I am ignorant.
You believe I am wrong.
You think you know better than me.
You want to make sure I do what you think is best for me.
You only know your way and want to make sure I agree.
You want to be in charge of my life choices.
You love me and want me to know you love me.
You are nosey and need to mind my business.
You think you can help me avoid pain and problems.
You like to have answers for other people, because you want to be helpful.
Etc.
Allow others to make their own choices and experience the natural consequences of those choices.
Trust that everyone is always doing the best they know in the moment.
Forgive those who interfere with their opinions, beliefs, comments and recommendations.
Know everyone is loving everyone in different ways; some with fear and avoidance, some with love and trust.
Loving me loving you and you loving me.
We do love one another because we are love here to express and experience Love,
