List the people you admire and look to for advice…
Who you admire and who you turn to for advice are two very different things, which bring very different results.
People you admire can inspire you from afar, and of themselves offer important advice and inspiration.
People you look to for advice should be people you trust to know you well, so that the advice they give is based on the person you are.
Distant advice
Starting with our late Queen. She reminds me of humility, she signed all her missives to us “Your Servant Elizabeth”. That was a constant reminder that she didn’t rule she served.
Odd how an ordinary person sitting in their front room at home gets that, and politicians do not get the fact that they are in service to, and employed by, us.
Then there is this man:
I’m not a Catholic but I respect all religions. The reasons they were created were good. Many people follow them with authentic hearts.
The presence of a God in this universe means a great deal to me, and that is a being I both go to for advice and also try not to fail.
Yet Pope Francis reached me like no other Pope in my life. Not least because of one of his last comments, “Don’t call me a great leader call me a servant of God.”
The similarities between these two people are obvious and much to be respected. Duty first, last, and always. Not leaders. Not to be put on pedestals. Here with a job to do and they were going to do it.
One thing they had in common, they worked until literally hours before their passing. They kept their word to the very end.
If that doesn’t give you two people to admire I don’t know what does. They both knew their positions were only borrowed from time, and they used that time well.
My human soul family
This is also two questions for me as I have two distinct groups of advisors. Let me start with the ones you can see.
Katrina, Kim, Jayne. These three women know me well, especially Kim, we were born inside each other’s heads, we don’t need words.
Kim goes back to 1973. I met Jayne in 1994 and we’re still going. She and I were able to spend a great deal of time together which helped us to learn about each other.
Katrina goes back about 12 years, I can’t be exactly sure because the moment I met her I knew I’d known her for ages. Kim and I connected instantly. I fell in love with Tony at first sight, and Katrina hit me in the same way. Jayne and I met at work and you basically heard the click, felt a jigsaw piece of your life slip into place.
These sort of connections are soul connections, they transcend romance, marriage, and friendship. You knew each other centuries ago, and you’ve collected here in this lifetime to get each other through.
Never believe that a soul mate is just a romantic connection, you have a soul family, it’s a family connection.
Then there’s Luke. He was the youngest in the group when we met, I’m old enough to be his mother, it makes absolutely no difference whatsoever. We know each other and always have. We have had the same dreams on the same night. Somehow no matter where we are, we live in each other’s heads.
I have many other precious people in my life, that I love and trust, but they haven’t known me since Methusalah was a baby, plus my darling adopted daughter is much younger and needs to spend her time loving her kids. I am there for her.
My soul-soul family
God and the spirit world. Both have proven their existence to me to my satisfaction. I’d never try to prove it to you, it comes into your life or it doesn’t, it feels right to you or it doesn’t.
For me it’s the greatest thing that ever happened to me, I have so much gratitude to Amos and my other Guides, and to God himself for reaching into my life age 7 and never leaving.
I have a lot of amazing people and beings to be grateful for, and they keep me on track. I would never let one of them down by becoming angry, bitter, spiteful, or unkind.
When you know great people you never want to lose them by letting them down.
If I am the kind and understanding person I want to be, every being mentioned above is a part of how I became that, how I maintain that, and why others mean such a great deal to me.
I’ve had some truly awful people in my life, and the best shine like the brightest lights. It the awful that means you never miss the good.
Use your hurts wisely, let them guide you to better people and decisions.
My love and appreciation for the wonderful supporters who keep me writing. Without you…I don’t even want to think about it.
Have a wonderful day
