The Other Side Is On Your Side

What if you didn’t worry about limits or restrictions? What if you could dance around doubts and jump over boundaries with grace? What if you gave your best effort and didn’t care about the results?

What if your cultural conditioning led you to all the wrong destinations and situations, and I told you that you could dive into the unknown, break through your current circumstances, and glide, possibly even jitterbug, around obstacles?

What if you could easily stop doing things that stifle your potential and create your own way of living? What if you could stop suffering by accepting everything as it is, but also by shifting into the energy of creation of what you want?

What if I told you that the person, place, or situation that you keep banging your head against will never change? You and your actions are the only thing that can change. What if I told you it is o.k. that you have made the same mistake countless times, but you don’t have to make the same one this time?

The past is the past, but you can walk into the world now as if you are entering the greatest race of your life. You can bet all of your money on yourself. Whatever the outcome, you are going to run your heart out and get closer to your destination than if you stay stuck in fear.

On the other side of fear is freedom. On the other side of the dark, cavernous, unknown places we must traverse to get where we want to go is a great, new beauty.

Your soul has markers, breakers, and when you swim out beyond where you have gone before the sunlight is brighter and the landscape is different. You emerge with a glow, with an undeniable, intangible, distinctive quality.

Your ego is the right size, but your aura is huge. Your smile gleams in the nighttime, and there is no doubt that the other side is on your side.
