WHO LIVES YOUR LIFE?

Often, as we go about our daily activity, there is a conscientious objector within us, some notion of propriety concerned with holding together this idea of who we think we are.

So as you move through the day, ask yourself: Who is living my life? Who is shaping these decisions?

Often, we are doing these things in service to an idea of ‘self’ that is, frankly, very tenuous at best, held together by the duct tape and bubble gum of our storytelling mind. If we allow that to fall away, then we can become available, moment by moment, to address what life is truly presenting to us.

But until we know who is living our life, until we see what is operating unconsciously as we try to hold that idea together, we will remain bound by it.

So watch for that today. Notice how it enters your activity. Then step gently into spontaneity and let all of it go.

Take good care.
