Today...

"Today, you can decide to walk in freedom. You can choose to walk differently. Many of us have been running all our lives and it has become a habit. But this morning you can make a revolution in your life. You can walk as a free person, enjoying every step."

Thich Nhat Hanh

A Little Bit of Oomph...

"Do the things you used to talk about doing but never did. Know when to let go and when to hold on tight. Stop rushing. Don't be intimidated to say it like it is. Stop apologizing all the time. Learn to say no, so your yes has some oomph. Spend time with the friends who lift you up, and cut loose the ones who bring you down. Stop giving your power away. Be more concerned with being interested than being interesting. Be old enough to appreciate your freedom and young enough to enjoy it. Finally know who you are."

The Definition of Forgiving...

The Definition of Forgiving...

"Forgiving is for giving yourself Love. Forgiving is for giving yourself Respect. 

Forgiving is for giving yourself Strength. Forgiving is for Giving.

And I also believe, forgiving is for giving yourself Freedom.
And Power. It is Dignity. Forgiving is Noble. It is Grace. And Godlike."

Our Lives...

"Our lives are not as limited as we think they are. The world is a wonderfully weird place. Consensual reality is significantly flawed. No institution can be trusted, but love does work. All things are possible and we all could be happy and fulfilled if we only had the guts to be truly free and the wisdom to shrink our egos and quit taking ourselves so damn seriously."

The Free Soul...

"The free soul is rare, but you know that soul when you meet it, 

because you feel good, very good, when you are near or with them."

Treasure Hunt of Delight...

Make today a treasure hunt of delight.

Find those things that are always there,

but you have never taken the time to notice.

Take sideroads and backstreets you have never walked before.

Break a habit. Break a rule.

Be the exception. It is so damn liberating.

Make today a treasure hunt of delight.

Much Loves,

Angela.

The First Step...

"The first step to living the life you want is leaving the life you don’t want. Taking the first step forward is always the hardest. But then each step forward gets easier and easier. And each step forward gets you closer and closer until eventually, what had once been invisible starts to be visible. And what once felt impossible starts to feel possible."

Let the Soul...

"Let the Soul softly sway."

Those moments, are precious moments.

Those moments, when we let ourselves, and let life, simply sway.

Break Free...

Break Free.

Simple words, powerful words.

Maya Fiennes wrote those words as her resolution for this year.

And here we are, today. And the new year already feels so far away.

We may have forgotten a few of those promises made to ourselves.

And there is no need to shame for that. Today itself, it is a new day.

And it is this day that matters, this moment that matters.

It's not just the year, but every single moment and day.

So let's Break Free. Free of shame or guilt.

Break Free of past beliefs. Free of once upon a time.

(If it was an unhappy ending.)

Break free from a cage. Just to dare ourselves to fly.

Break Free of doubt. Free of fear.

Break Free of what holds us down, holds us back.

Break Free of whatever it is you decide, you want to be free from.

What a powerful liberty. What a beautiful choice.

Now let's see you run with that.

And I'll see you and meet you there. Flying... and Free.

Much Loves,

Angela.

Decide Right Now...

Decide right now, how you are going to choose to live your day...

There is clarity in decisions. There is power in decisions.

And liberty too.

And the moment you decide, you also declare. Deeply within.

You go into resonation with your declaration. And life joins you.

And should something or someone bring a challenge along to test your decision, your declaration... Take a deep breath, silently decide and declare once again. And remember, there too, you have a choice... Your resonation. Or their resonation.

The choice is always yours.

So go ahead, decide right now, how you are going to choose to live your day.

Much Loves,

Angela.

You Are Free...

"Close the door on old, painful memories. Close the door on old hurts, old self-righteous unforgiveness. You might take an incident in the past where there was pain and hurt, something that is hard for you to forgive or look at. Ask yourself, "How long do I want to hold onto this? How long do I want to suffer because of something that happened in the past?" Now imagine a stream in front of you and take this old experience, this hurt, this pain, and put the whole incident in the stream and see it begin to dissolve and drift away until it disappears. You have the ability to let go. You are free."

Why Not You?

"Why Not You?

Today, many will awaken with a fresh sense of inspiration. Why not you?

Today, many will open their eyes to the beauty that surrounds them. Why not you?

Today, many will choose to leave the ghost of yesterday behind and seize the immeasurable power of today. Why not you?

Today, many will break through the barriers of the past by looking at the blessings of the present. Why not you?

Today, for many the burden of self doubt and insecurity will be lifted by the security and confidence of empowerment. Why not you?

Today, many will rise above their believed limitations and make contact with their powerful innate strength. Why not you?

Today, many will choose to live in such a manner that they will be a positive role model for their children. Why not you?

Today, many will choose to free themselves from the personal imprisonment of their bad habits. Why not you?

Today, many will choose to live free of conditions and rules governing their own happiness. Why not you?

Today, many will find abundance in simplicity. Why not you?

Today, many will be confronted by difficult moral choices and they will choose to do what is right instead of what is beneficial. Why not you?

Today, many will decide to no longer sit back with a victim mentality, but to take charge of their lives and make positive changes. Why not you?

Today, many will take the action necessary to make a difference. Why not you?

Today, many will make the commitment to be a better mother, father, son, daughter, student, teacher, worker, boss, brother, sister, & so much more. Why not you?

Today is a new day! Many will seize this day. Many will live it to the fullest.

Why not you?"

Let Go... To Hold On...

"To hold, you must first open your hand. Let go."

Lao Tzu

I believe there is grace in letting go. There is courage too.

It's terrifying at times. Liberating too.

But in letting go, you are allowing yourself to receive.

I carry on learning as well..

Angela.
