Dear Friends,
Last week I wrote about the freedom you have as a child of the divine to choose what you want to have in life, to choose what you want to do in life, and to choose what you want to be in life. And I wrote about the freedom you have to pursue those goals in any way that you see fit.
This week I want to expand on that message. I want to point out that you are never truly free as long as you remain overly attached to one specific outcome. Nor are you truly free if you believe that you must achieve that outcome in order to be happy.
Always keep in mind that no matter what it is you “think” you want, the divine flow may be guiding you to something even better—something that may be greater and grander than you anything you ever imagined possible, and something that will always fulfill your desire in a truly deep, lasting, and meaningful way. True freedom comes from letting go and allowing the divine flow to lead you to that destination—to a destination that may be quite different from the one you planned on or expected.
And even then, you are not truly free if you believe that you can’t be happy until you reach that destination . . . or any destination. As the saying goes, “It’s not about the destination. It’s about the journey.” And happiness, my friends, is found in the journey—not the destination.
Happiness comes from realizing that the manifestation process is just that—a process! Just as an artist must create a painting one stroke of the brush at a time, you must create your life one stroke of your “oars” at a time. And you are not truly free until you can enjoy the process as much as the finished product.
In fact, when all is said and done, you are not truly free until you can momentarily forget your goals and dreams altogether, and just appreciate what life has to offer you right here, and right now!
You are not truly free until you remember that nothing outside of yourself has the power to make you happy—nothing that you acquire, and nothing that you achieve.
You are not truly free until you recognize that happiness is fundamentally a choice. It is something that you allow yourself to feel, and something can only come from that innately joyful place within you—from that inner sanctum where your spirit resides.
So, my friends, here’s to letting go of attachments! Here’s to finding happiness within! And here’s to experiencing the true freedom that comes from that.
