If you’re looking for permission to follow the beat of your own drum, you’re never going to find it.
No one in the system will give it to you. The harder you look, the more elusive it will be.
Permission is something you must grant to yourself. If you didn’t know that, congratulations, you know it now! If you DID know it, that might feel like the scariest thing in the world.
It is not the scariest thing in the world. FREEDOM is the scariest thing in the world.
FREEDOM is when you make choices in alignment with your internal truth without regard for the opinions or truths of others. FREEDOM is the feeling you get when you choose to own the responsibility for making decisions and accepting the consequences of those decisions.
FREEDOM is a revolutionary act in this reality. It is not the desired result of the Matrix. Compliance is the desired result.
I have been walking on this “scary” path since sometime in 2003. It was the last time I felt “safe.” The safety was an illusion, of course. Life isn’t safe. If you’re looking on the outside for safe, you’ll be looking forever. My illusion of “safe” was something that every moment of my conditioning and schooling prepared me to BELIEVE and to ACCEPT.
2003 was the year I first felt the real vibration of LIFE. It’s the year I left my last job and started to follow my own internal truth. It’s the first year I felt what it was like to finally use the power I had been carrying around all along.
I’m still developing the capacity to hold it. To carry it without freaking out. To learn to use it to solve problems for others and be richly rewarded for doing it.
No one offered permission to me for this. I chose it. Or maybe it chose me. I have no idea.
The result is the same. That result is a daily journey learning to reclaim, focus and use your power for something that matters in the world and helping other people do the very same thing.
What did you come here for? To play by the rules set out for you by someone you don’t even know?
Or did you come here to do something in alignment with who you are and wake up each day feeling truly alive?
