Hanging Ourselves With Our Own Noose!

There's an unfair place, where the judge, the jurors, everyone - has got it in for us.

But you know, in this Kangaroo Court, EVERYTHING is fair and just.

Huh?

Here's something simple, though what I think, powerful at the same time.

We need nothing OUTSIDE of us to commit ourselves to a life we hate! One of misery. One of continual blame and apathy.

Quite honestly, we pretty much sentence ourselves to the life we have based on nothing more than the thoughts we feed ourselves.

And often, no... ALWAYS!... it's 100% to do with the make-believe stories we create and feed ourselves.

And what happens when you feed something, continually? That's right - it GROWS and EXPANDS... and, depending on the thought, it turns into something ghastly and horrible.

So, what happens when you catch yourself saying (and it's only ALWAYS the thought that creates all of it)...

... "how do I get past the fear, how do I get the courage, how do I get the desire, I'm uncomfortable about this, how do I get passed that, I'm overwhelmed with things, how can I manage things, I've got so many things going on that I don't know what to focus on, I have faith and hope that things will get better but it doesn't seem to be working..."

So of course, there's NOTHING going on here apart from the sweet stories we stick to for dear life! And we've continually - just like a guest we've grown fond of and accustomed to - feed the story until it becomes a rampant, self obsessed, personal philosophy.

I'm scared - A STORY we've made up.

I need more courage - a STORY that says I've no courage.

I need to be more willing - a STORY that says I won't do anything until I become more willing, first.

I need to get past the fear - a MAKE-BELIEVE story we hold onto to get us OUT of action.

Make-believe thoughts - they'll cripple us -- if we let them.

Ask a kid if they'd like to go out to and play in the snow and they'll leap up and let out a yell that you wouldn't believe. Ask the kid if they want to go out and play in the snow wearing shorts and a t-shirt, they'll look at you and think you're Santa who has just made their biggest wish, come true!

You'll notice that there's no story there that kids cling to. There's no fear.

There's no need to feel courageous or muster up the willingness to do it - they DO IT, without any kind of silly, made up, story.

There's nothing getting in the way of what they want - there's just super excitement and a life of adventure.

Can we live like that as adults?

Sure. All we need do is practice a story that fuels and feeds us in a way that supports what we want.

No stupid foolish story needed - especially the ones we hang ourselves with... those stories we cling that act like our own noose - where we become the judge and jury in a Kangaroo Court... created out of our own madness.

Simply pure excited adventure and energy. And that comes by deliberately choosing what we want and how we want to live. Why not script and create another story for you - one that'll have you falling in love with YOU and what you want?

Starting YOU, All Over Again...

Let's play a game.

Let's pretend for a second you don't know who you are or what your history is. Let's pretend that you don't have a memory about the story of your life. Let's pretend that you don't know anything about the pain or anguish you may have experienced.

Let's play the game that says we're going to start life all over again, starting from nothing.

Are you in?

Now here's the beauty of all this; we get to BE who we want to be, from now on... forever!

And, if getting to BE someone else, somewhat troubles you, let me suggest that we've all BECOME someone else already.

We're all acting out a role, which, for many, they destest and can't stand. Most really do want to be, someone else.

But, what if we could step in front of all what may come our way over the next week, month, year... and... guide and steer the very life we own... what then?

See, when we start US over, we get to be as playful and curious as the little child that we all are. There's no mask, no insecurities, no judgements, no opinions... just pure, playful, loving adventure.

Would that be something... taking that child within us, with all the many beautiful characteristics outlined above, and then, import it all into our present life, into our very BEING... present day... and, from this day forward we're LIVING OUR LIFE with that story of a child, living naturally, gracefully, as a part of who we ARE!

I suggest there'll be a remarkable shift in your life if you step into this game.

And, if you're the kind of person who's open to the very possibilities of you and your life by the transformations that can occur simply out of thin air, you'll take this post rather more seriously than those wishing and hoping for a better life... and... who do nothing about it.

So, here's the dare... here's the challenge; over the next 7 days, live life as a little child - having no stories, no fears, no opinions about yourself and what you can or, cannot do.

Get a little notebook and notice what you notice about yourself. Write it all down. Notice what others around you seem to be experiencing because of this NATURAL you who's only playing the game from that sacred child space, that touched heart space where you live and perform at your creative best.

Test it. Challenge it. And see what comes out of it.

To the week ahead and to the YOU who's STARTING OVER.
