The best questions will always stay questions; they will always uncover new and evolving answers.

For example:

• What is your purpose?

• What is the best and highest thing to do right now?

• What is most important to you?

If you don’t know the answer to a question, that’s how you know it is a good one. Don’t answer it. Let the question lead you down a path of discovery.

Your freedom is in your focus because your freedom lives in the possibilities available to you, not in what happened a moment ago.

If you shift your attention to the feelings and images of success regardless of what the past up until now has looked like, you become free to move in the direction of success, whatever success means to you. If you concentrate on the emotions and sensations of what has felt stagnating and stifling, you become trapped. If you crave freedom, it’s time to hone your focus. Nothing can take it away; you can only give it away.

What if you weren’t stuck? What if your freedom was an attention shift away?

Sometimes, the thing you think you “can’t” do holds the greatest possibility for you.

You know that thing that feels so freeing, yet you feel like you can’t do it? Be curious about that and see what’s there.

Today, what is there for you to:

1. Complete and let go of?

2. Begin and trust?

3. Be in the middle of and rest in nonclosure?

We are always inside many cycles. Endings, beginnings, and middles all require their own discipline and they all support us in different ways.

What if you honored where you are in your cycles?

Loving others gives us good feelings and helps us navigate challenges with compassion for ourselves and others.

Harboring anger toward others gives us bad feelings and robs us of our clear perception and choice.

The only reason to not do the work of loving others is if you want to feel bad and have your choices made for you.

Love is nuanced, it takes work, and it’s worth it. What does the work of love look like for you right now?

Speaking your truth and acting on your truth will always be expressions of love because love is the truth. However, your expression of love will look different from mine.

Your job is not to make sure everyone understands or approves of how you express it; your job is to express it. No one else needs to feel it the way you feel it for it to be your truth. It is the truth because it is love.

What if you did or didn’t do things based on your truth, not anyone else’s understanding of it?

We all tend to overdo things that don’t serve us, even if we do a little. We overdo the things that pull us away from what we truly yearn for because we haven’t investigated what works and what doesn’t. Of course, in this paradigm, when we are busy overdoing what doesn’t work, we don’t do what would move us toward our deepest desires.

Of course, doing any amount of something that hurts us is overdoing it. The thing we are overdoing could be a physical substance, a mental or emotional substance like worry or judgment, or a habit or activity. How we feel can tell us if what we are doing elevates or pins us down. Does it lead us more toward what we yearn for or more toward what we say we don’t want?

There is no “right” thing to do or “wrong” thing to help you be happy and at peace. However, your work is to investigate what takes you where you want to go and stop doing the things that are sabotaging your journey.

What are you overdoing and underdoing? What if a simple swap of these things could change everything?

When someone labels you as something, judges you for something, or holds something against you, you are simply the screen for the movie they are playing inside of them.

The same happens when you judge another. However, the same is also true when you love and appreciate another. You are watching a story unfold either way, and you are the story's author.

What do you choose to project on the screens around you?

Most of us don’t understand how thoughts work and, therefore, allow them to have power over us, and that power usually ends up in a separation from love.

The truth about thoughts is they are not the Truth. They are just whatever thoughts come through your consciousness and aren’t even personal to you. You deserve to feel peace and to stay connected to love. The part of you that can notice your thoughts for what they are (stories) is the part of you that is peaceful, clear, loving, and loved.

What if you could experience more power by not giving it away to your thoughts?

You are the only person who can prioritize what is most important to you. And prioritization often happens only through saying no to things that are not the priority, including thoughts and beliefs that sabotage your intentions.

No can feel scary because you might be cutting off good opportunities, yet saying yes to things outside of your priorities guarantees you don’t capitalize on the opportunity of what is possible in the area of what is most important.

It isn’t easy to prioritize, or everyone would be great at it. What is it time for you to say no to, especially because it feels hard?

Commitment is not a feeling; it is a choice. Commitment that comes and goes is just a preference based on convenience. Being committed doesn’t mean we don’t make mistakes; it means we practice course correcting with grace as soon as we notice we’ve begun to stray.

Unconditional love is the same. It is a choice. Love that comes and goes is not love; it is liking based on convenience. Love does not mean we can’t feel our entire spectrum of emotions; it means we practice taking responsibility for our judgments, fears, and stories as soon as we notice they’ve begun pulling us off track.

We don’t have to commit or love. Yet, these choices are where our freedom lives because they help us be who we want to be no matter what changes.

What would life be like if you chose instead of waiting to feel it?

Somehow, along the way, we may have been taught that we love ourselves and others through doing more. However, doing more ultimately pulls us away from our priorities, which is an act of punishment toward ourselves and others.

It might just be that love means letting go of and saying no to most things so we can focus on what matters most. What if you could view your “ no” as a way to experience more love in your life, rather than more burden?

By your self. You give and receive this love by being who you want to be and who you wish other people would be.

Fulfillment does not come from wishing everyone else perfect behavior. It comes from coming back to yourself again and again and expanding your capacity to love.

What if you didn’t have to get anyone else to love you, approve of you, or agree with you? What if you could be that for yourself and them instead?

Your mind will always have a list of unmeetable expectations that it says are required for things to be perfect. This belief in perfect often keeps us from taking action out of fear of failing to meet these impossible requirements. Even if we do take action, it keeps us from experiencing the success we are deisgned to experience when we take commited, intentional action.

Our better alternative is to understand that things will always be imperfect according to our minds and instead focus on doing our best and celebrating ourselves for being courageous enough to be in a creative process. The discipline to notice and release when we are being weighed down by “perfect” and tap into the contentment and truth of doing only our best is the ultimate liberation.

How might life change if you surrendered to the fact that it isn’t now and won’t ever be perfect and instead embraced doing your best and releasing the rest?

You simply have to be willing to move toward it.

The problem with better is that it only exists inside of new, and new is uncomfortable because it is unknown. And, if you trust the wisdom of your body, it will lead you towards better if you are willing to get uncomfortable on the way.

Where is good leading you? Are you willing to go?

Do the very focused and disciplined work of listening to the Truth of your Self, taking actions, and making sacrifices from that place every day and every moment. If you are willing to do this work, your life will begin to feel easy because it will be aligned with what you value most.

It will also look easy to others on the outside, yet you will know that you earned it by doing the work that no one else could do- trusting your Self.

Easy can be earned if you are willing to do the correct hard work. The hard work will never end, yet neither will the fulfilling ease that comes as a result. More discord can also be created if you get stuck in the hard work of proving, hustling, and ignoring what you know.

Which type of hard would you rather experience? The kind that connects you to your natural ease, or the type that creates more resistance?

It is up to us, and let’s and choose the former rather than the latter.

We have incredible superpowers to harness; the power of our imagination, our attitude, and the context we choose to live inside of in this moment. The only thing we know for sure is that life will one day be over, and will have treated it like a gift or a burden, and whichever we choose is what we will be left with and what we leave behind.

Our lives are made up of days, and days made up of moments. What would it take to see this moment as a gift? How many moments would you be open to a fresh start to give and receive, through the power of your choice?

Some comfort is worth it. Some isn’t.

The type of comfort that comes from the satisfaction of truly loving someone and being of service to them in a way that serves the truth is what we are made to experience.

The type of comfort that comes from holding back and not ruffling feathers or stirring the pot in an effort to be liked is what drains us of our aliveness over time.

Seek the comfort that comes from genuine connection and service. Run from the comfort that keeps you from living your dream.

Reactivity displaces clarity. The world benefits when you are clear because that is when love can work through you, and the world needs love.

What if the most important way for you to serve was to not let yourself become repurposed by fear and stay connected to love?

The most detrimental word in the English language is should.

Maybe the way to do your part today is to let go of the notion that you or anyone knows exactly how it should be, and to start being curious about what Love would do now.

Who would you get to be without should and shouldn’t? Who would the world get to be?
