Why are you here?
Why did you come here?
Did you come here to have fun?
To be yourself?
To enjoy this place?
And what does it feel like right now?
Does it feel like you're enjoying this?
Weren't you supposed to have a good time?
And then all these things got in the way.
So many things that just don't need to be there.
All these thoughts that run us back and forth,
They aren't who we are.
The real us is buried so far underneath.
We have been given so many rules to follow,
So many expectations,
So many systems.
And when you start just stripping all of that away,
You just,
You get to the truth.
And the truth is that we're just supposed to be ourselves.
We're not broken.
There's nothing here to fix.
There's nothing that we have to achieve.
There's no timeline.
There's no race.
There's no failing.
We were just supposed to enjoy this beautiful planet and walk around in awe.
And if you haven't done that lately,
I really encourage you to.
We live in a magical place.
We can get back to that place.
We just have to believe to remember.
And stop getting so caught up in the shoulds and the coulds and the I have to,
I need to,
I'm never good enough,
Why isn't this working?
It's not about those things.
And when we remove all of that,
There is really nothing standing in our way of happiness.
If you think of the things that a normal human thinks about,
Or worries about,
Or fears,
You know,
We really do have it all already.
It's just that we live in a place that tells us we don't have enough.
And that we aren't enough.
But it's just another system that we were told to buy into,
And so we did.
Because we're so pure.
Because we are naive.
Because of our purity,
We believed what we were told,
And we didn't question it,
We just went along with it.
But it doesn't feel right anymore.
It's not working,
It doesn't fit.
We've seen too much,
We know too much.
I know that there is nothing standing in the way of my happiness,
Except for me believing that what I have and what I am isn't already enough.
And that belief did not come from me.
That belief came from outside of me.
And so I can choose to let go of it.
I can choose to stop chasing what I believe will make me happier.
Strip it all away,
Peel back all these layers of what we think we're supposed to do while we're here,
What we're told makes us good enough or valuable.
If you just remove it,
You're good.
That's it.
And to me,
That's how it was supposed to be.
We weren't meant to suffer.
Just the wrong people got the wrong power,
And it just got really messed up.
And now we're here.
But we still have our choices.
We still get to choose.
We can believe in what they want us to believe,
Or we can let it go.
I can do what feels right for me.
I can choose to stop chasing.
I can decide what I want to do and just do it.
And there's nothing to hold us back.
It's the other thing that we got so caught up in was that we can't do certain things.
And the mind kicks in with these crazy stories that hold us back.
But again,
If you peel back the layers of your thoughts,
If you decide not to buy into them,
There would be nothing stopping you from doing anything.
You would just do it.
If you stop listening to the critic in your mind,
Who is lying to you all the time,
None of that is true.
If you chose to ignore those thoughts,
Then the world would truly be your oyster.
Nothing would stop you.
And what if we never even learned to listen to that voice?
We wouldn't even know there could ever be anything stopping us.
Because doesn't it seem silly that a voice in your head could stop you from living your life?
Could stop you from just doing a thing that you feel called to do or curious about?
But man,
Our minds will shut us down so quickly.
But the thing about the mind is that it really cannot be trusted.
I've seen what mine is capable of.
And it's a crazy mess up there.
I go back and forth in my mind,
Which isn't really me,
All day long about something.
My mind would never make itself up.
It just won't.
It won't come to any sort of conclusion.
I can talk myself in and out of something forever.
And so that is how I know that I can't believe my mind.
That it isn't a real source of truth.
It is not something that I want to rely on for my well-being.
It isn't real.
It's illusions.
It's fears.
It's old stories.
It's programming.
It's genetics.
It's.
.
.
It needs to be stripped away.
So much better when that is stripped away.
You are limitless.
There's nothing stopping you.
There's nothing controlling you.
Without that voice in the head,
Without that inner critic,
You're free.
You're free to do whatever you want.
And that is how we were meant to live.
And I'm so sad that that got so lost along the way.
But it's coming back.
I can feel it.
It's coming back.
And it starts with you and it starts with me.
And I know people,
Great minds and shamans and gurus and mystical leaders,
Leaders of truth,
They've been trying to tell us this forever.
Every generation has got their teachers and it hasn't stuck yet.
Maybe it's not supposed to.
I don't know.
But I know for me,
While I'm here,
I would much rather live free than be a prisoner of my own mind.
How about you?
What do you want?
How do you want to spend this time here?
Namaste,
Friend.
