So many of you seek a one size fits all answer to apply to navigating your lives, but having only one acceptable way of doing things has been at the core of every control system on earth. We understand your frustration when faced with so many options, but the gift in all of that is having the freedom to decide what is right for you and your unique life expression. That is exactly how you step into your role as your own empowered leader – by trying on external opinions to see if they are your truth, much like you might try on several outfits for a special event until you find the one that feels most comfortable and appropriate. From there you can confidently step forward in that truth secure in the fact that you made the decision that is best for you, but also in the knowingness that what was a match for you might not be a match for another person. You are learning to honour the importance and sacredness of free will, both for yourselves and for others. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young
