Sustained Freedom

Without change true freedom can never be sustained. There are times in our lives when we may feel as though we are standing still and resigned to the fact that everything in our lives are going to stay just the way they are. Circumstances of our past may have taught us that we are meant to live up to certain expectations of the world around us. Many of our characteristics, both good and bad have been implanted in us by people and situations which we have never had control of. Our independence derives from allowing our heart to lead us, changing our perceptions and instinctively taking little risks that will make us feel great once we've done them. As we grant ourselves permission to change we will find that the people and circumstances in our lives will fall into place and we will find sustained freedom to carry each other toward our great purpose.

Once we begin to shift our thinking toward being in the constant flow of the Universe we will discover that every person and circumstance in our lives can teach us a little bit about ourselves. When the situation in our life feels stagnant we will discover within ourselves whether we have the courage to redirect ourselves. Pain is often a great motivator in forcing us to point ourselves in another direction. By constantly moving and modifying our thoughts, pain becomes less and solutions become easier. Children will teach us to be curious and we can find wisdom in the elderly when we avail ourselves to different perceptions. We will be able to let go of fear, see the new days ahead with clarity and forgive the people and circumstances of the past by being grateful in this moment. Let us begin changing now in order to sustain our freedom and follow our dreams.
