I think that a big part that makes up the beauty of life is our gift of Freedom. The freedom for us to choose to have or do or pursue any dreams or opportunities. America has traditionally been this. Our US history is of offering democracy for those who don’t have that or freedom to worship or live the way they want to. Not sure where our crazy judgment of others comes from or fits in. There is a lot of judgment when someone does something differently or looks differently. It seems like other peoples positive view also factors in. A group that is respected that represents a viewpoint can sway a person. We have to focus and ask the questions that help us make our own decisions listening to our inner voice and asking questions like is this on the side of Love or fear.
When you’re on your Path, you can choose to take any route you want to in order to get to the destination you desire. Everyone wants to tell you which way to go. Freedom includes you going your own way and owning it. Loving it. Doing it. Confidence is everything. You know the belief of others is like sheep. It moves with the group. So what if you win the support of the group which are those around you. It’s really about you winning by you knowing your own beauty.
We’re at the risk of chilling your desire if we listen and do what everyone is telling us as well. We are ignoring our dreams. That is never good. We must use that desire and passion to take an exciting route that has all the landmarks we want to see and challenges available to color the adventure. We can choose the exciting way that we see available ahead of us. We can see what is coming ahead can include the beauty of waterfalls and dense jungle with exotic plants and animals. We can choose any Path we want to and some may be easier or funner or harder to navigate. Taoism teaches us to allow things to unfold and know that the direction that is available is the one that is best. Not knowing and trusting in the universe to give us the perfect opportunity works wonderfully, however I can also step in and have goals and move towards something. I can chase my dreams for the way I want to play and dance and move.
Balance is another Taoist belief like the Yin and Yang. Having the balance of allowing things to unfold while moving toward the places we want to arrive to is part of walking on our Path. A rugged trail takes Balance. Using the challenge that confronts us as an opportunity to innovate and learn and finding a way around the obstacle and continuing on our way like the course of water is the kindest and gentlest path. There’s lots of teetering in that tough balance thing. With any situation of Balance, teetering will occur. It’s kind of normal.
Freedom, passion, balance are all the highest vibrations along with Love which is being given to ourselves when we respect who we are and what we want. Whatever we want is okay. You get to choose this for your life. No one else has to be involved or dare I say should? You have the ultimate choice of what direction and route do you wanna go? There isn’t a wrong route like looking at a mountain with trails. You get to use your preference. Respect your opportunity to have a preference. Have the guts to go it alone with big time backup.
I say all these things to myself today. This is the awareness that is given to me to apply in my life. I want joyful and loving trails for myself. I want to play and have an adventure to enjoy. I ask myself today to listen, attract and have a high awareness for these perfect opportunities that will unfold.
