We have a sense of focused intensity or a total lack of focus.<\/p>\n<p>Free fall\u2014we experience the rush of jumping out of an airplane or taking a wild chance without overthinking. Scary for some. Delightful for others.<\/p>\n<p>Most of these aspects of being free are choices. How we respond to them are choices. We can remain stuck in routine, in relationships\u2014or jobs, self imposed restrictions, or unwillingness to take a chance\u2014or, we can make a new choice.<\/p>\n<p>Being free can challenge our thinking and our way of being. Whether we are happy or not, it certainly is easier to stay the same. We get caught up in the \u201cWhat if\u2019s?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What if I fail? What if you don\u2019t?<\/p>\n<p>What if I feel discomfort? What if you don\u2019t?<\/p>\n<p>What if I make a mistake? What if you don\u2019t?<\/p>\n<p>What if I can\u2019t go back? What if you never want to go back?<\/p>\n<p>What \u201cwhat if\u2019s\u201d are at play in your life right now?<\/p>\n<p>There is some benefit in thinking it through and considering the worst outcome and seeing if you could live with that. However, that really doesn\u2019t help free the soul\/spirit.<\/p>\n<p>Trust frees the soul\/spirit.<\/p>\n<p>Trust in a Higher Power to support and guide the journey. Trust in one\u2019s own inner knowing (which is fed by Divine Source!). Trust in Divine Timing. Trust in ones own conviction and confidence.<\/p>\n<p>Trust requires a deep breath, a silent prayer, and a hope of something better. With Trust, the soul\/spirit breaks free from what ever restrictions bind it from joy and fulfillment.<\/p>\n<p>The time is now. Be FREE, dear ones.
