Freedom's shackles...

'Without freedom from the past, there is no freedom at all, because the mind is never new, fresh, innocent.'
-Krishnamurti


Doesn't it feel ggood when a burden is lifted off of our shoulders? Isn't it great when a small, hidden detail that can(in our minds) 'doom' us is erased or forgiven?
Many times this burden's weight is a product of our own actions. In these cases we, and only we, can free ourselves.

Last night I had a dream of being in a stage, a colisseum with thousands of people waiting expectantly for my words: 'What, in your lives, if brought to light, would affect your happiness and steal your goals from within our reach?'
No one clapped.
Morning came, and I woke up knowing to truly be happy I had to get rid of some of those little mines in the field I would be walking. Otherwise they'd blow my foundation to pieces one day.

So I chose to free myself. What an exhilarating feeling!

Open your mind...
clean your heart...
Free yourself...
...and experience life's blessings fully.

Lesson learned: There is no use in struggling to make ourselves free from the shackles when we hold the keys in our very own hands.
