Permission To Be As We Are
by Padma Gordon
I've been reflecting on the goodness that comes when we give ourselves permission to be ourselves. When we expand our ability to be generous with ourselves, we tend to give others the same permission to be themselves, which creates a sense of freedom. Even as I write this, my body relaxes and I exhale. What I have found in my personal relationships is that patience and courage are key elements for creating harmony. In moments when we get ramped up and feelings swirl around, patience really helps. When we give ourselves permission to have our feelings, we in turn give others permission to have their feelings. Courage allows us to step outside the box and to step out into the unknown. Being courageous helps us to step into our full potential. Patience creates space. Courage and patience are a great team. *Gratitude to Marina Raye for sharing her music track “Awakening Dream” from the album Liquid Silk.
