Kill All SHOULDS

Live in COULDS

This week I had several experiences of popping up and out of my stuck places, freed and released to float up.

“How to live wisely” has been a question on my plate from the dawn of time.

I’ve followed many patterns. Being told, shown, suggested; watching, learning; always apart from ‘me’. Anguish lives in that gap between where I think I ‘should’ be and my ‘I am’.

Switching one pattern for another can ease it for awhile. Overall, I’ve returned many times to that heartwrenching gap.

The mold is always slightly different from my shape. My most grievous shape. It doesn’t fit, I don’t fit. Switch molds, same problem. Square Peg, Round Hole, over and over.

Until now.

Working with a fantastic coach has opened me. The work delivered things we didn’t order up. That’s how it goes, amazingly 🙂

I am ready. I deserve it. It’s time to Create My Own Mold. To Decide and Choose how I want things to look in my life.

How to Live Wisely?

Now, I’ll CHOOSE that answer. I’ll Craft that answer. It will be my answer only.

Not Theirs. Not Yours.

Sure;

‘Some people may do it different.’

‘I could see it another way also.’

‘It’s understandable that you may look at it that way’

However;

‘THIS is what I’m choosing for me.’

‘I am claiming this for me.’ 

 ‘I’m deciding to try this, I’m excited about it, It’s my game and I enjoy the play.”

This message today is short. It may seem cryptic? I don’t need a lot of words.

If you can relate to feeling the tension of that gap, between what you think you ‘should’ be doing, and where you are, then close it.

Choose to take responsibility for the exact place and time of right now. Own it. Love it.

Start by looking forward from here. Start by looking forward from here. Start by looking forward from here. Start by looking forward from here. Start by looking forward from here. Start by looking forward from here. Start by looking forward from here…

then…

What would I like to create? How do I want it to look?

I will decide then act.

This is a Wise way to Live.

But that’s just my opinion.

Go make your own.
