Liberation is not a day that will come

It's like the beginning or end of a relationship. It takes time and is a process. you end up living in what you were building all along.

You have to liberate yourself in your *current* circumstances daily. And you can.

That work can happen in various ways, but at the very least, what is available to all us is the possibility of changing ourselves - seeing things differently, doing differently to get different results, selecting a worldview that does not damage or deamean us, or harm others, choosing to interrupt thought processes and emotional repetitions and actions that don't serve us in this moment.

We can choose over and over.
We can choose strength and health and positive thinking.
We can forget, resist ourselves, stay in the hardness, and make different choices, and choose hope again.

There's no reason for it that I can explain well. You just do it because that's how you believe life can be, or is. And to give yourself such a precious gift is almost unimaginable. Might we delude ourselves into thinking something good about someone who had done bad to us? We might. And we may be called fools, but we don't think it's foolish - it's just another way to live. To believe the best.

Try believing the best with everything, for a week. Just try it. What do you have to lose but a bad attitude? :)

Assume good intentions.
Forgive.
Let go.
Forget.
Assume they were trying or they tried.
Assume they would have done it better if they knew how
Assume they aren't rude to bump your arm on the subway. they had a real emergency.
Assume that you are lovable and beloved.
Assume well.
Assume you are capable of healing.
Believe healing is inevitable.
Believe in your power, love, and grace.
Believe in your ability to flex that heart like you've never seen done.
Believe in your self.
Believe in your radiance.

Believe your radiant heart - freedom is within.
