Today we are joined by contrary Salmon and Squirrel, who tell me that it is good to listen to the advice of others so long as we don't lose ourselves in that advice. It is a fine line between listening to advice and giving ourselves over to the direction of another. If you have given up on your goals or dreams because of outside influences or find yourself changing who you are in order to fit in with others, now is the time to stop that activity. Embrace and love yourself for who you are. If those around you do not love, accept and support you, then they aren't real friends. When you release these false friends, you open the way for others to come into your life who WILL love and accept you for who you are. Do not tolerate the presence of someone who would require you to change yourself in order for them to like you, who would put you down or stomp on your dreams. You deserve so much more than that!

If Salmon is floating belly up, recklessness may have kept you from achieving a goal. Are you ignoring the wise advice of others or your own inner voice of wisdom? Contrary Salmon may be telling you to be sill for a time and find the flow again. Ask yourself where you became distracted or confused. Then imagine returning to the place you last felt certain of yourself. Feeling a sense of serenity means you are tapping your inner knowing and wisdom again.
If you have been seeking the approval of others by being a follower instead of listening to your personal knowing, it may be time to reclaim your own authority. Are you stubbornly rejecting the truth of a situation, trying to be right or in control, and overriding your instinctual wisdom or inner knowing? If so, get out of your head and get back to the wisdom found in your heart and feelings. Like Salmon, people sometimes need to backtrack upstream to see where life's meandering tributaries flowed away from the original headwaters of their certainty, wisdom, instinct and inner knowing.
