What Are You Living From?

Hey 

When life has hurt us, it’s understandable that we begin making choices around avoiding that pain. Yet we can become so focused on escaping our history that it continues to determine our direction.

From there, we may reach neutrality: a place where we loosen our grip and say, “Let’s see what happens,” allowing more possibility into our lives and being open about how we want to meet it.

Then comes excitement, where we begin leaning towards a future we feel hopeful about. This shift can change the energy we bring into each day.

But fear and excitement share something: both are responses to a future we cannot know, with one imagining the worst and the other anticipating the best…while our sense of wellbeing can remain tied to what happens next.

Even a vision can become a trap when we need life to deliver it exactly as imagined, before we allow ourselves to feel fulfilled.

Perhaps the deeper invitation is to ask what we want to live from, and allowing the qualities of our soul, whether it’s love, curiosity, generosity or courage, to shape how we engage with today…while leaving room for tomorrow to surprise us.

Three Actionable Insights

1. Notice where avoiding an old pain is influencing a decision, and meet this pain with awareness and kindness.

2. Enjoy what excites you while loosening your attachment to how it must unfold.

3. Choose one quality you want to embody and express it through an action today.

Until next week...keep future rising
