FREEDOM FROM BONDAGE

We can seek freedom from many different things.  One important freedom is to free ourselves from the bondage of our mind’s interference.  Our mind can get caught up in the past or worry for the future.  We are so trapped in our worries that we forget that our focus amplifies and can become all consuming.  We are so focused on “what ifs” or “has beens” that we forget to live.

 

We continually hash over experiences to the point that they take up permanent residence in our head, and we continually loop over and over again on what was or what might be, much like the movie, Groundhog Day. 

 

We torture ourselves over what we could have done or what we might be able to do. This can also lead to pointing a finger at others and laying blame for events in our lives. Alternatively, we can take responsibility for events that were completely out of our control.  Does this sound familiar?

 

Our bondage stems from our preconceived notions of what we think SHOULD or SHOULD NOT have happened or what might happen in the future.  One suggests we have control issues and the other suggests we worry about potentials.

 

Some people truly do live in their self-made bondage, whether that bondage be mental or physical.

 

The bondage of fear robs us of living. Some of us may be tied to the security of our home environment. Step out and breathe the air of freedom.

 

Some are held in bondage because of the acts of others or life’s circumstances.

 

Can you rise above or break free of your personal bondage? 

 

Do you worry about potential outcomes if you take action? 

 

The unknown can create fear but you are stronger than that fear.

 

Ask yourself if you are supposed to exist under these conditions.  Of course not.  You are here to live!

 

It takes courage but make the choice to live not just exist.  You and you alone must make that decision.  You do not have to do this alone.  Reach out for support or help. Take the first step to freedom from bondage.

 

Break free! You are worth it. Start living!

TRY, TRY AGAIN

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again! 

 

Never give up.  Always give it your all.  Some things are worth working or fighting for.  There is satisfaction in knowing that you did your very best even if the outcome was not as planned. 

 

It is important to weigh out the cost (time, effort, value, odds) before committing to something. There are no guarantees in life, but if you don’t try, how do you know?

 

The rewards for a battle well fought usually pays high in dividends.

 

No matter what the goal, working towards a promotion, building a name for yourself, getting more healthy, saving a relationship, if it has value to you, it must be worth the effort!

 

Some things are more important than others. Set your priorities.

 

Obstacles only mean a little more effort. They will test your resilience, but they will teach you valuable lessons.  Life lessons can lead to irreplaceable outcomes.

 

If the cost is too high or the outcome unattainable, walk away!  That is not giving up; it is being accountable.

 

If there is potential for a favorable outcome but it entails hard work, so be it! Try, try again! Many things in life are worth it.  Give it your all. If you fall, get back up! When there’s a will, there’s a way!

TRIED AND TESTED

If something has been tried, tested and true earlier, does it still hold validity in today’s day and age?

 

We tend to lean towards what we know and what has worked in the past.  Most situations, however, can bring with it a slightly different twist to it. 

 

We must consider all angles of the equation including the “what if’s”. We won’t always get it right, but we must have faith in our process.  The unfolding of events, regardless of our decisions, will playout the way they will. 

 

There truly are no mistakes. When it might look lik
e we have made the wrong decision, it was supposed to happen that way regardless.  It was a learning experience.

 

The tried and tested often is a good choice.  Sometimes, however, we need to go beyond our comfort zone.  The results may be quite satisfactory or they may come up short.  Learn from the shortfalls and try again.

 

In the end, it always works out as it should.  Our attitude toward how things unfolded is ultimately our true experience.  Accept, take responsibility and move forward with deliberation.

YOU NEED TO BE REMINDED

Take a moment to experience your life as it is in this very moment.  What surrounds you? 

 

Look at your immediate environment. How lucky are you?

 

Periodically, we need to reflect on life and get a clear picture of where we are.  Sometimes we need to reflect so that we can make changes.  Sometimes we need to reflect to recognize that in many ways we are blessed.

 

For those that are struggling, know that any struggle is temporary.  Change is guaranteed. Stay strong, listen to advice, and follow your heart, not always your head. 

 

There ARE better days ahead but today we will commit to this lesson.  Strive to learn as once a lesson is learned, life changes. Life may dictate at times but your attitude towards life events and circumstances is always in your hands. 

 

You need to be reminded of this so you can make choices that propel you forward not only in life but in your thinking process, too!

BRING IT ON

Whatever is taking place in your life, face it head on.  Whether this is exciting or stressful, do what must be done so you can make your way forward. 

 

No matter what the situation, hatred and violence should not be seen as a solution.  If you have to express anger, release it but do it in a productive manner, whatever that may look like. 

 

If there are stumbling blocks in your way, either remove them or go around them. The lesson is in figuring this out. 

 

If you are being offered opportunities, what’s holding you back? 

 

Is it fear of failure? 

 

The only thing to fear is fear itself.  It will rob you of living life fully.  It’s okay to make mistakes as long as you get back up and try again using the valuable information you gained from the unsuccessful attempt.  So if it brough education to the table, was it failure?

 

Is it lack of knowledge or experience that holds you back?

 

If you are not ready or prepared, educate yourself and do the prep work; then move forward. 

 

If you conclude it is fear holding you back, remember this is your perception of what might happen if you make your move. 

 

There are times when the road ahead gets foggy, so to speak.  Sometimes we have to go with the flow for a while until the current of life changes.  We have no choice on what life may throw at us. The lessons can be hard. Learn what you can, when you can. Persevere and accept during the times when it is appropriate.

 

Challenges can test our attitude and our perseverance.  Life can be tedious and challenges are in place from time to time and we just need to persevere.  We grow exponentially during life’s hardships and learn from life’s lessons, willingly or forced.  The latter is the hard way.  When a life lesson knocks, tell life to bring it on! Challenge yourself willingly. Learn the lesson, grow and move forward. That is truly living!

OWN IT

Whatever you might be doing right now in your life, own it. Regardless of how it might look to you at this point, on some level it is supposed to be.

 

If this is a good experience, wrap your arms around it.  If this is a stressful experience, embrace the lesson as it is an educational experience.  The faster you learn the lesson, the faster you can move beyond it.  This too will pass.

 

I truly believe there are no co-incidences in life. There is something valuable behind everything in life, sometimes we recognize it and sometimes the value is hard to see. If you can’t find the “why” behind what is taking hold life, let it go. It will be revealed eventually.

 

Taking responsibility and making it your own are two completely different energies.  Sometimes life happens and the events are out of our control. We are not to hold the responsibility. Learn the lesson and move on. Do not own it. If we hold on to challenges in life, or take up residence in these challenges, we create an experience where we only see challenges and we are held captive.

 

We are at the mercy of some life experiences, and we cannot alleviate these lessons. We can, however, at them as lessons and change our attitude towards the experience.

 

Explore life below the surface. What lies there?

 

If we look at our experiences from a different vantage point (not as a victim) , we can find answers. There is a time for everything in life. Whatever is happening right now, own it just for the moment so you can learn from it and then move on. Life is to be lived!

ASPIRATIONS AND GOALS

At what age do we begin setting goals for ourselves? 

 

Some begin very early in life to set financial goals, others wait until later and some never aspire to creating a “nest egg”.

 

Most of us wish to be comfortable, at the very least. It is quite normal to set goals for financial success. However, when setting these goals we must make sure that we are not coming from a place of shortages and that we are not becoming obsessed with the need for more.

 

We live in a material world, so there it is expected that we set these goals. However, should material achievements be our only goals?

 

We do not have to be fixated on material aspirations.  We can also choose spiritual or metaphysical ambitions. When we search for our spiritual connection (whatever spirituality may mean to you), we realize that this is not something that we need to seek, because it is already a part of who we are.  Look within and we can recognize that connection. Many of our readers have mentioned that they do not feel worthy of this connection and the reasons behind this vary immensely from person to person.

 

Knowing that our belief structure expands with focus, we need to pay attention to our beliefs, our expectations, our focus.  These will build and more will come your way. Focus is key. We need to regularly review our beliefs and expectations.  Are they advantageous?

 

Let’s keep our minds open. The only limitations are the ones that we put on ourselves.  We can focus on opening our minds as well as letting go, practicing and allowing. It gets easier with disciplined effort. 

 

Our thoughts, aspirations and goals have ripple effects.  We mold our reality with our belief structure and focus. What is possible?

DUTY AND OBLIGATION

There are some actions in life that we are obligated to carry out. We must have a job in order to provide essentials.  We need to look after our health to enjoy good health. We have an obligation to ourselves first and foremost, but we also have obligations to our elders, family, boss, co-workers, friends and the list goes on, in varying degrees. There are things we must do to keep the flow of growth and opportunities in place.

 

We have a duty to our family, especially to our children as they slowly move forward into their own lives.  They learn from our example. We are likely reflected in the actions of our children in some form or another.  Because of this, we must set an example that is worthy to be carried forward. 

 

Being that good example comes easier if we have respected our obligation to ourself as we mature. It is important to foster positivity into our daily lives. It is essential to formulate an action plan that includes our wellbeing. We do have obligations beyond ourselves, but we must take care of ourselves to be of assistance to others. You cannot feed someone from an empty cupboard. 

 

Is our attitude one that promotes or allows happiness, or are we caught up in the challenges and noise of life?

 

How can we shift our focus away from the noise to accommodate harmony within?

 

We have the ultimate tool required to initiate change.  We can change our attitude, first and foremost.  A slight adjustment can help us go from chaos to calm.  Attitude is perhaps the most important ingredient in making life more manageable, if not enjoyable. 

 

Life can and will be difficult at times.  We cannot change what life throws our way, but we can change the way we look at these lessons.  In our mind, we can change the word “difficulties” and use the word “lessons”.  That in itself is the first step.  We can learn to turn our reactions to actions.  Reactions are uncontrolled.  Actions are purposeful and productive.

 

It takes little effort to be a victim, but it comes at a high price of stress and lack of enjoyment.  Go from victim to victor over your life experience.  It does take work, much effort, in fact initially.  We are creatures of habit.  Break the habit and exercise the “finding the positive” muscle.  The more you exercise it, the stronger it becomes.

 

If we look for hatred in this world, we will find much hatred.  If we look for compassion in this world, compassion will show up.

 

A positive attitude is not going to change the world around you (but it might); a positive attitude will change the world within and make the world around you much more enjoyable.  A life of peace and appreciation is within our grasp and much of what we might want for ourselves is available if we wish to work for it. 

 

Believe in ourselves; push ourselves a little. Make it our duty and obligation to have peace within under any of life’s conditions.  We are strong and resilient. With determination, we can do anything we want to help ourselves through any of life’s situations. We are always learning and becoming stronger if we exercise what we need to.

IT’S ALL OR NOTHING

There are times you just have to go for it.

 

You have spent countless hours contemplating and now you realize that the moment has come for you to advance.  You feel it. It IS the time.

 

Give it your all and don’t back off, not even for a moment.

 

For each of us, this focus will be a different one. No matter what the focus, push through any adversity and forge ahead.

 

You may have been waiting for a long time, and something has held you back.  Was it fear?

 

Do not step on others to get there. Karma is real. This is not about revenge or getting even, life looks after that. It’s about just reward, doing the right thing, and letting life take you to where you are supposed to be.

 

Fear can hold you back, but do not let it!

 

Move forward armed with information, with positivity and the best intensions. You can do this with or without assistance.

 

Who will benefit?

 

Take care of yourself but if you can incorporate benefits for others, that is much more rewarding.  Listen to your intuition. Step forward with hope and compassion.

 

It is important to pursue your dreams and goals. Are you ready? Get set……go! It’s all or nothing. Give it your all and reap the rewards.
