Glad you are here!
Hello beautiful human! I am so glad that you are here. I am glad that you are still with us on this big blue beautiful marble floating through the cosmos. I am glad that you found my website! I am glad that you are reading this as well. Most importantly, I am glad that you are still a part of this beautiful world.
When was the last time that you heard someone tell you that they were happy about your existence? Most people don’t hear it nearly enough. Well, this is part of the reason that I love what I do…I am really glad that you are here to share the oxygen with me and be a part of this world. I want us to make it the best place ever…in fact, my professional mantra (since 2004, when I started this journey) has been “Society sucks! I am working to make it better one person at a time.” This is the absolute truth. I am not a fan of “people”.
You may be asking, “But Trudy, how is it that you hate people, but work in a field dedicated to ‘people’?” While I have been known to say, “I hate people…”, it is always followed with, “…but I love individuals”. I say this because society (aka people) makes rules/truths that do not serve any higher purpose. There is no benefit.
How many of you have heard the phrase (or any variation of), “What would the neighbors think if…”? Most of us have heard those statements in our lifetime, but my question to that question is, “Why does the neighbors’ OPINION matter?” Frequently it is because we have been taught to care, and thereby have developed into a society of individuals that live in a state of “comparison thinking” for much of their life. This comparison thinking is part of the reason that we have such a high rate of anxiety and depression amongst those living on social media. The cries for help are there.
“I only have x followers on IG, and (insert name here) has xx followers.”
“See honey, blah and blah-blah are engaged. Why aren’t we married, yet?” There are numerous questions that are just like this and lead us to compare ourselves to others. I promise, I could go on for hours about it.
Well, in my opinion, the question is not “Why does (insert name here) have so many followers”…the better question is “What did they do to get them? Did they work for them?”
The question is not “Why aren’t we married when blah and blah-blah are engaged now”…the better question is, “Is our relationship healthy and working for us?”
This is part of the reason that I love my job/career/calling. I get to help people discover what they really want in their lives. I love that part of it. Hence the mantra, “Society sucks! I am working to make it better one person at a time.”
So, to wrap up this little blog, I want to say it again! I am glad that you are here on this big beautiful blue marble floating through the cosmos with me.
Much love to you all!
T.
