Everywhere we turn someone is looking to influence our choices. It seems that new “experts” are emerging every minute. It feels impossible to make a decision without weighing the opinions of all the external forces. But what if these external forces are only serving to cloud our inner wisdom? What if instead we chose to be our own authority? What would your life look like if you were the one calling the shots? It’s time to trust your own intuition, find the magic in influencing yourself.
