In the highs and lows of life let yourself be.
Let yourself be
Be what?
The being that you are
This being is found in this moment
It isn’t who you think you are. Your thinking is based on memories
Holding on to this picture of yourself is a prison
Let go of its hold over you
You are beyond anything you can think
So stop thinking
Let yourself be
Pause for a moment and take a full breath
Inhale this new moment to embrace
Exhale and let yourself be

Thank you, Val. At times it is not easy to know who we are amongst all the clamor that is all around us at times. It takes great strength and courage to stay ourselves so we are not swayed to someone else’s definition of who we “should” be. Great post!!! Love, Amy

Here’s to letting go of the stories about who we were to become more fully who we’re meant to be.

Stories are based on the past … and there is always an opportunity to become our true selves in each moment.

Val, I had never really thought of this in the way you write it “Your thinking is based on memories.” This is so true and obvious, yet I had never looked at it in this way. What a blessing you have given!
