You will never be free until you do this

You will never be free until you do this. Seriously…never. And, I’ll bet you do it to yourself ALL the time! So, are you ready to finally be who you want to be? Then, follow me to today's Baby Step, my friend.

Freedom is found this way…

BABY STEP

EVERYTHING comes with a consequence...

• a thought

• a feeling

• a belief

• an action

• a circumstance

Then we immediately label those consequences as either "good" or "bad."

BUT if we choose to view everything that comes our way as another opportunity to step into the best versions of ourselves, then we relieve ourselves of the burden of said consequences. And what is that burden? It’s something we can ALL relate to…

GUILT

Guilt weighs heavy on the mind, on the heart, on the body and on the Soul. Knowing this, why do we continually allow ourselves to be crushed by it? We can stop the madness at any moment…so why don’t we? Because guilt is familiar. It’s always the first one to show up when something amazing starts happening in our lives.

It shuts us down in an instant because it’s doing what it’s been trained to do: protect us.

Guilt thinks it’s doing us a favor by “saving” us from the unknown. But, really, it’s just holding us back and preventing us from embracing our full potential.

Here’s a thought: let’s not fight it. After all, that’s never worked before. Instead, let’s focus our attention on something else, something better, something useful…

ACCEPTANCE

By accepting your peeps, your past, your brain, your body, your current circumstances EXACTLY AS THEY ARE, you are setting your Self FREE.

Acceptance means there is no longer anything to fear.

Why?

• Because you know you are strong enough, brave enough, powerful enough, smart enough, bold enough, confident enough TO HANDLE ANYTHING.

• Because you know that no matter what’s going on, IT’S ONLY TEMPORARY.

• Because you know you will survive, and you will LEARN TO THRIVE.

And, most importantly, you know this:

YOU ARE WORTH THE EFFORT
