We often feel that we are not free, that we are born by and
to our circumstances. We feel constrained, limited, bound, tied up, wrapped up
and held down. But it is not the truth. This is a mindset that is outside of
the moment, outside of now. It is like taking a bad thought and wrapping your
whole world in it.
We will even argue for our limitations. 'Look at my life,
see how I have no money, no love, no support, no options, no place, no
education, no experience, no... Look at the facts."
"Screw the facts! We are free to believe." What we
believe today changes tomorrow. What we experience today comes from yesterday's
beliefs. Yes, we are responsible to change our lives, our circumstance, the
outcome, our future! It is a hard reality. But it is true. We are responsible
to change our lives. And unfortunately, we can’t do that by observing the
facts. We have to change our minds and believe in something better than what
the facts present us.
We are free to believe; we must affirm and know that we are
free to believe, even when we do not feel that we are. We must believe even
when the facts contradict our beliefs. Remember the facts are the creation, not
the Creator. The facts are remnants of yesterday, reflections of ideas, thoughts
and beliefs gone by. We can change tomorrow by believing Now that we are
different. That we are bigger, better; that we have enough! We can change
everything by dismissing the facts and thinking and feeling a different reality
now, in this very moment. Not in the future, but now. We are now – we are
thinking now, we are feeling now. In this moment what would you choose to
think, feel and be?
But what if my circumstances do not change? First, that is
impossible. If you change, your circumstances also must. This is the law of the
Universe. This law is more certain than gravity. But even if it were not a law,
even if absolutely nothing on the outside changed, but you did change on the
inside; would that now be a better? Would it not be better than continuing to
reside in hopelessness and despair or drifting aimlessly without direction
and joy?
Life always changes, it must. It evolves, it expands, it
grows. As we change we change Life. So forget about the facts, feel what you
want to feel right now, in this very moment. And keep feeling it until your
circumstances line up with your feelings. It will happen and in the meantime
you are happy now, joyful now, peaceful now and living a life worth living. . .
Now.
We are always free to believe!
