Individuality

We are all individuals with our own unique gifts and perspectives on life - yet in a mass-market consumer-oriented world it can feel like we need to fit into a mould to live our lives. We can look to others for our inspiration and guidance and even be willing to give some of our power away to outside authorities because they apparently 'know' more than we do. And so a tension can be created between what we feel is true for ourselves as opposed to what consensus reality says. And this is a difficult place to live.

Yet we are  individuals with our own intuition and knowing which is there to serve us, tailored for us. So the skill here is to be able to tune in to that intuition and guidance, to follow that to the best of our ability. And this takes courage and integrity often in the face of the conditioning we've received in our lives and in our culture. Yet how else are we to deliver the unique gifts that we possess to a complex and ever-changing world - gifts and perspectives that maybe only we possess?
