Change Your Default to Freedom

“Just imagine never being triggered by anyone or any relationship or any communication. Imagine being so clear and present that all the answers you need are right there, without drama. Imagine the peace that comes over you when you know in your cells all is well, it always was, and it always will be.”

Dear You:

As the United States celebrates July 4th, or what’s know as “Independence Day,” I thought about what is truly meant by “freedom,” “independence,” and “sovereignty”…

I was thinking about this in terms of relationships with others, ourselves, and the way our identities keep us locked in a jail where we cannot receive. What if we could relinquish the need to protect ourselves?

Safety does not mean freedom, it means survival.
Freedom actually means not only safety, but thriving in all aspects of your journey.

With an open heart,

A key to thriving is remembering that doing this is actually important.

It’s ‘nothing’.

That’s the thing, doing nothing is doing something.I’m sure you’ve sometimes tried to keep pushing through a project when life is showing you the harder and longer you push, the more unproductive things get, right?

I’m so guilty of feeling invincible or, put another way, stubbornly carrying on instead of being present to what life is showing, or sometimes commanding, me to do.
