It is an unfortunate illusion that the more options you have, the more free you are.
YOU are free, you have embodied your own freedom, when from the range of all possible options you choose something.
With every conscious and unconscious choice, life closes off countless possibilities that up to that point where available. A life, when lived in freedom, should be a gradual narrowing of choices; taking steps through choice and a narrowing one’s path along the way.
Freedom, which we are all granted as human beings, is something meant to be spent; it cannot be stored and there is no reward for holding the most freedom in reserve at the end of one’s life.
It doesn’t matter how many possibilities exist as potentials; what matters in freedom is that you’ve chosen something for yourself. If you want to be as free as possible, you must be free by choosing. The trick is to choose consciously, rather than unconsciously.
This requires the ability to access one’s courage. Courage, freedom, and choice are inseparable in vibration. It takes courage to choose, to choose again, to choose again. Choices you make today affect the options available to you in six months, a year, five years, and twenty years from now. Are you narrowing your life in the ways that suit you, that validate you, that are directing you towards what you love?
What are you choosing for 2023? In what ways are you exercising your freedom by limiting the options available to you, and choosing what your heart desires? What your creativity demands? Are your choices conscious? Are they made in full? Are you keeping your options open and resisting living life? What will focus your life experience on the things that make you vibrant, alive, and full? Can you choose that?
Happy New Year!
