doing it right.

do you feel like your whole life has been trying to break you? maybe the trick is to surrender your body (do what you need to do) and at the same time, know that nothing can break you, ever (be who you are meant to be).

you are your soul. your soul possesses a physical body and an emotional body. these are what we use to navigate our journey over lifetimes. the stories we carry forward animate the particulars: the artifacts and game pieces that function like types of equipment we would find at a gym. our lives are tools for practice, supplying a supporting cast of characters, along with costumes and props for the drama, presenting the indoor rock wall that helps us climb the mountain within.

life unfolds for the soul to evolve. who are you in this lifetime? are you a lover? a fighter? both? keep going, even if the battles don’t seem to end. keep fighting, even if love hasn’t arrived yet. keep rattling the cage until it’s dust at your feet.

what if winning is a realization: that we can’t ever lose because there’s nothing to lose? what if having it all doesn’t mean having many things, but rather, the complete freedom of “nothing left to lose” because it means there’s nothing left to hold us back? whether it’s fear, comfort, stability – whatever we’ve built or achieved, clung to or hid behind, until now. what is holding us back from more? what is holding us back from who we really are? what’s the difference between surviving a shipwreck and the surfer on a waxed board?

you know you’re doing it right when you don’t know what’s next, but you know that you will use whatever it is to be free.
