For your consideration…
There is a reason that every single one of HOPEs Rising Blog starts with “For your consideration.” When I was asked to start this blog, I was concerned that I did not want to come off as “preachy.” I did not want anyone to think that I was telling them what to think. It is important to me that every single person holds onto their power and that they are discerning. Having said that, I personally have to trust that the message I am given each day is meant for someone(s) and who needs to see it will. That is out of my control once I have done my part.
So having said that, I am excited for today’s message. It tells us to think for ourselves. Use our filters and tools, our life experience, our belief system, our wisdom, our common sense, etc. to receive what is told or shown to us. We should not just believe what others ask us to, even experts. Covid was a good example of this. We are asked to think for ourselves and ask ourselves, “Is it true?” If we can not prove that it is true, it is not a fact and we should treat it as such. It goes without saying that somethings we know to be true but we can not prove them so we have a opinion. We believe it to be true. They are true for us but may not be for someone else. That is ok. The important part is the we think for ourselves and do not let others manipulate or humiliate to force their thinking on us.
That is the HOPE. And so it is.
