We all talk about transforming our lives…changing things…living our dreams. So how come you still are unhappy or feel stuck? Are you really free to do what you desire? Are others stopping you or are you stopping yourself? Here’s where I swallow hard, take a deep breath and say you (we) have the choice of not continuing to play the role of victim.
In the book The Four Agreements (Amber-Allen Publishing, Inc. 1997) Don Miguel Ruiz states” The freedom we are looking for is the freedom to be ourselves, to express ourselves.” He goes on to say “The first step toward personal freedom is awareness… We need to be aware of what the problem is in order to solve the problem.”
So if you are not living your dream, enjoying your life or find that you are on the wrong ladder to success realize that you have the power to change the dream by:
- facing each fear one by one (journal, meditate to help you become self-aware)
- stop feeding the fear (gain control over your emotions through forgiveness of yourself and others)
- symbolically have a burial for the fear (tear up the journaling, shred it, or perform some other type of ritual)
- change your belief (determine what will make you happy)
Remember you can choose to live differently. You can achieve happiness, success and balance. Take the first step of self-awareness today.
