Have Faith and Free YourSelf

Tao of Yummi Sutra 28, Microsutra 2/6

Faith can set you free! In fact, it already has in certain parts of your life. Sometimes it’s backed up by your experience. Sometimes you have proof from the experience of others. Sometimes all it takes is an affirmation from one you deeply respect. In all cases, you have faith, which need not originate in spirituality, although it becomes an inspirational force in your life — unleashing your ability to become truly mindful in the moment.

From an early age, you were exposed to the way that seeds grow into plants. You developed faith in this process. When you tend a plant, or garden of plants, you become mindful in the moment as you purposefully create value for a living thing — simply doing ‘the work’ to help it grow.

You have faith in such things as the love of your family (by blood or choice), the strength of your community; the word of the ones you trust. When you can trust in something or someone, there is that much less fear, anxiety, anger, or any of the host of other emotional gravitational forces that can carry you away from the moment.

There are things that you can affect and things that you cannot. Have faith when you decide to focus on what you can affect through value creation. It takes faith to create authentic value. Know that you are here to help and have legitimate value to give (authentic value, straight from the beating heart of the Universe, which is yourSelf). Living into purpose, you commit to value creation and develop the confidence to see yourSelf naked in the moment. Mindful in the moment, you are free and open to the love, creativity and inspiration that reside here. Have faith and free yourSelf.
