Your joy is your answer.
Your joy is the bridge between doing and being.
You get stuck in doing and forget your being.
You resist your joy because it's the very sword meant to change this outdated paradigm.
But the system keeps sucking you in.
It's not your fault.
It's how they hold you hostage.
All you need is to remember what's on your heart.
It's always been this.
Unconditioning yourself from the shoulds that make your joy wrong.
You're afraid this won't work.
You know they succeed when they no longer need to keep you captive.
You do it willingly.
With the way you judge yourself.
With the way you beat yourself.
With the way you deprive yourself of yourself.
But child,
It's time to step out of this jail and ask What if you design a life so joyful that it feels illegal?
The answer to that is your sign.
Thank you.
