fear

Fear robs us of our personal power. When we''re scared, we are easily persuaded into behaviors we wouldn't otherwise lean in to. Fear passes easily from person to person, taking us out of our natural state, blocking us from rational thought and personal revelation. Fear also holds the lowest frequency and is the most effective tool for releasing beings of their sovereign knowing. Authorities, government and religious leaders, even well-meaning teachers and family members may not always have OUR best interests at heart, even if they claim to. Rigid rules, strict obedience, unrelenting consequences, gaslighting, manipulation are all ways to victimize us and make us forget our own internal, inherent power.

The truth is, we ARE sovereign beings. YOU are a sovereign being. No matter where you live, how oppresed you by society, government, religions, unhealthy families....YOU are the master of you. You choose how to respond in every moment. You choose whether you will be a victim or a champion. This is not victim-blaming or toxic positivity. This is truth. Your heart, your mind, your soul is YOURS. No one can take those from you. No one can force you to think, or love, or feel. They can hurt you physically. They can restrict movement and decisions. But they can't take your spirit. Unless you give it to them.

It took me a long time to really get this. It's not an easy concept to integrate. There is so much polarity and outright unfairness in the world that it can be easy to get trapped in all the ways we DON'T feel free. Living situations vary substantially, and I'm not going to pretend that injustices don't exist. But despite all those, the truth remains that our very being is free. Free to choose how we will see life. How we will respond to injustices and broken systems.

Finding power within yourself frees you of fear that keeps you playing small. Understanding that YOU decide how you will react to every situation, every conversation, every law, rule, agreement, etc sets you truly free from the restrictions we see all around us. In truth, these rules and systems are just a matrix of agreed upon terms. These terms may have been agreed upon way before you got here, you may have had no desire to agree to them. And the good news is - you don't have to. You don't have to fear. You don't have to agree to a life you didn't choose. It starts with you.
