Freedom is space.
Freedom is authenticity.
Freedom is the ability to be deliciously, quintessentially yourself.
You have the freedom to choose. It’s a powerful, incredible right that no one, except you, can give you. In every single millisecond of your life, it’s your call. You’re the only one who can grant you this kind of freedom.
Easy? Heck no. Not always, other times barely, doable.
You step into exquisite freedom when you bring your attention back to this moment. When you zoom your lens onto now, you give yourself the freedom to create as you wish—a real freedom, the kind that’s not based on any external factor. As seductive as they may seem those external things don’t hold the power to determine how happy you’ll be.
Your internal landscape trumps the external—every time.
You’re free to create.
The power is in the story and it’s your story. The story teller’s on your payroll; she works for you; she’ll tell it like you want her to.
What kind of story has she been telling you lately? Does it make your heart smile or does it wither you down to dried up prune status? The beauty, the deliciousness of it all is that you have the freedom to change it if you don’t like what you’re getting.
Your freedom is alchemical and powerful. I mean really powerful. It can seem magical when you really wield it. A client looked at me recently after she’d finished working through one of my programs and said “I didn’t even know this kind of happiness was possible…. I just feel, well, free to be me.”
It does seem magical in those times when it all comes together so incredibly. Under the feet of those magical times though are choices freely made over and over to come back to this moment. To choose happiness, peace, ease, love, serenity as often as possible.
Freedom is a commitment. It’s a muscle exercised. It’s a return to the best moment possible in every moment. It’s an unwavering choice that you and I make over and over and over again. It’s a responsibility to our highest selves and to the life that wants to live fully and unabashedly through you and me.
May you say yes to your freedom more often than not.
May you find ways to support yourself because the path of freedom isn’t always an easy one. It’s fraught with dead ends masquerading as “good times”. It’s full of “be just like me and you’ll be so happy”. It’s overflowing with distractions and “propaganda” that deplete instead of nourish the truest essence of who you are.
Only you can set yourself free. I invite you to take a moment right now to recommit to that quintessential freedom of yours. Breathe deep inside yourself and ask how you can support that freedom in as many moments as possible in your life. Then listen; listen with your full and open heart to what your soul whispers back. What will you do today to support that internal freedom?
Today, I will create space to write without judgement. What will you do? I’d love to hear what you’ll do, so leave me a note in the comments below.
Til next time…
