Soulsong #482 – How Can I Become Free?
How do I escape aspects of life that leave me feeling trapped? Perhaps it’s a bossy parent or difficult spouse, a dead-end job, mountains of debt, some sort of disability, or a troubled past. How do I move beyond circumstances and breathe fresh air?
The fastest path to liberty is to realize I’m already there. True and lasting freedom is available to me this moment – and the next – and the next. The only freedom I cannot lose is the freedom to choose my thoughts and attitude about any situation.
No matter how challenging my circumstances, I can find relief by choosing to see them in a more positive light. My situation doesn’t have to change for me to feel better about it. I can bring forth my immense creative powers, soothing and softening my attitude and then IMAGINING events as I would like them to be.
This is one of the greatest gifts I can give myself – mentally making the best of a difficult scenario and envisioning improvement.
And through this process, my circumstances WILL become more – and more – and more to my liking. It is universal law.
The bars cannot open until I stop beating against them, start to make the best of my cell, and savor the wondrous life that awaits me outside. As I find freedom within myself, I’ll find freedom without.
