You are born to be free and thrive ...

You are born to be free!

This is a bold statement and the implication of this statement are far reaching and most of the time not u nderstood as long as you find yourself in situations which are less then desirable to you.

However, when you stop and listen closely to yourself you will discover that yearning for freedom inside you. It feels light, joyful, loving ... just simply like bliss. It is not a place where you feel above the rest, no, quit the contrary, you are part of this world but you are free inside yourself.

There are many people in our lifes who constantly make us feel less either by purpose or not. Very often we find them in our immediate environment (family, friends, work mates, ...). We tend to accommodate them waiting for their improvement, encouraging them, supporting them and be there for them when they are in need. They will improve and then they will acknowledge all my love, my energy I have put into this. Or if this is not forthcoming you soothe yourself in the idea that at least you have made a difference to this world.

Does this sound familiar?

You still feel you have a lot more to give. And yes, you do I agree. However there is a little catch to it. You are emptying your tank but what does fill it up again?

Do you sometimes think - wow - with my support they have done so well - what could I have achieved if I have had such support? Is there a little nagging thing in you reminding your of yourself and your desires? And all of a sudden you find yourself looking for a thread to hang on to fill yourself up again asking yourself when will it be my time. Yes, when, that is a good question, when?

When if not now?

Don't think now that I am completely free but I am in the very lucky position to maybe be a little more free than most of the human beings. I have gone through stages of my life which were downright dangerous to life and even more destructive to my soul. And when I write about this it is because it is a challenge of my life too. I know, I understand and I feel with you.

There have been moments where I considered giving up, let my wild spirit go and flow with the masses. I did do that at some stages of my life too because I simply thought that it might be easier and I gave my control over myself to over to society, a partner, a child ......... you fill in the gaps.

I ignored my yearning for development and when I felt it I put a sticker over it with a nice affirmation like "I am so happy" ... which of course was a) not true because it felt not that way and the gap from where I was to that affirmation was like crossing a big river without a bridge and b) made me ignore my state of being even more.

A vicious circle. Please don't get me wrong, I love positive affirmations, I use them all the time. But the secret to it is to first acknowledge where you are and how you really feel and then find an affirmation which feels slightly better than the current feeling place and gently accept the better feeling affirmation.

Don't try to reach too far because you might reach too far too quick and you come crashing back to your old place of feeling. That will make you feel even worse because you have put so much energy into taking that leap and now it has brought you even more sorrow.

Tiny steps will allow you to to move forward slowly but surely and I can tell you from my own experience (and I am a person with big ambitions!!!) even a slight improvement makes you feel good about yourself.

Give the best and most caring treatment to the most important person in your life - YOU! If you are not well, nobody and nothing around you will be. And deep inside you you know that too.
