Freedom Is a State of Being

Right before I took the picture below, I thought: "This would've been the perfect scene, if it weren't for those boats out there!"

And then I immediately realized that this scene ALREADY was perfect.

I (and you too, probably) so often resist the moment in front of me...

• I resist what's happening

• I resist how I'm feeling

• I think that fulfillment, enjoyment, peace, and wholeness exist some-where else, some-when else, with some-one else.

"If it weren't for ______, this moment would be perfect."

Two boats in the water is a pretty trivial example of resisting the moment - yet it so easily represents all those other moments that I judge and resist what's happening.

My inner resistance to how it is right now and my inner resistance to how I feel - THAT is my access to the freedom to experience a truly perfect moment.

✓ Freedom to respond instead of react.

✓ Freedom to choose and not be stuck.

✓ Freedom to feel and release challenging emotions.

✓ Freedom to appreciate ALL of it.

Freedom is not a particular set of circumstances - freedom is a state of being.

Of course, knowing this doesn't make much difference on its own. Information ≠ Transformation.

Freedom takes consistency, and freedom takes practice.

Allowing, then befriending, then even loving ALL of the parts of ourselves and our experience is like a parent opening its arms to a child after years of showing it hostility. It takes some time for these parts of us to warm up and trust us. It also takes time for us to show up authentically with compassion and understanding. That’s why consistency is so important.

Freedom is the outcome of my work with people, and the nature of my work is consistency, insight, and love (of self, other, and life itself).

One friend/client calls me his "Freedom Fighter Coach." Another calls me her "Love-Me Coach." Another calls me his "Mind Mastery Coach."

They're all the same thing. 🤯

If you want greater emotional freedom and a greater freedom to respond instead of react to the circumstances of your life, message me and let's connect.
