Freedom To Fly And Be The Real New You

People that are becoming free become hateful.

You may ask why is that Chad?

The reason is because there are changes going on these changes create fear and that fear comes out often as hatred. Hatefulness is a manifestation of fear. We are too vulnerable to be the strong person we will be when we are truly free. We can't fit in the box of being enslaved, but we are not free either. We are between destinations which cause us fear and frustration. This transition is difficult but necessary.

You will find freedom then be free forever. That past life will be gone forever never to have you like it use to have you again. Is that worth getting excited about? Is that worth exciting others to help them?

There are sometimes after affects. You've made it out of the past things that were so hard, you know you are free but the freedom does not feel quite as good as you thought it would. With that freedom comes responsibility and pressure to exist and flourish from the separation of that enslavement even if it was bad. It may take you years from really untangling from all that nasty mess that had you tied up. When you are still acting out in different ways because of the past mess then it's still attached to you. We need to define ourselves and our action in our new totally free life.

It's one battle to be free from the mess, and another to fill it with something that allows you to fly.

80/20 rule: Nothing in life is 100% what you want it to be. No one and nothing. The problem is we get use to the 80% we are getting and start focusing on the 20% we are not getting. That 20% becomes almost larger than the 80%. We need to focus on the parts of our life that are beautiful, the people that are beautiful, and the things that are beautiful. That 20% can get you leaving good things, and not appreciating and loving what you do have. When someone is disappointed in you maybe you should tell them 80/20.

This is Oh so true and don't we all fly when we come together for more life changing experiences alltogether at the same time in our voice room.

Oh so very true... The human spirit longs to be free, but fears it. So long it takes to sense that freedom is truly a state of mind, and that nothing or no one can take away that state of mind. Certainly they can change it, if we let them, but the self doubt is the key that permits them to do so. Thank you for this profound essay!!! Judy

The 80/20 rule is a great rule in life, I have heard of it before.
Though lift-off takes alot of momentum, flying is a beutiful thing. Thank you.
