I want you to ask yourself today, what story am I holding on to that's holding me back? I see some people being addicted to being addicted. You're addicted to the drama that comes from your story. Like, you're afraid of living in peace because it's uncomfortable. You have created a jail cell in your head based on your interpretations of experience. Interpretations that most likely are not true. Imagine a life being based on emotional states, being based on the amount of time we lose, being based on a delusion, being based on an incorrect interpretation of reality. Who would you be without that thought and And that interpretation. You can be that person in this moment right now, right this second. You can be that person without the story. Imagine what that feels like sitting in that.
