The universe gives you a choice, and that choice can be made right now. You can live freely or you can be enslaved by your circumstances. To liberate yourself, purge the “should haves” and the “ought to’s.” Surrender all of the inner conflict, first. There are times when what you are doing and where you are, are simply incongruent with where you want to be; but here’s the key – you must wave the white flag first. To make anything “right” on the outside, the inside must first concede with what is. It’s hardly the other way around. If you can change the condition, then do so. If you can’t, then change the inner.
You’re not independent of your environment. You are one with your environment and perhaps the primary cause of it. Creature and environment are working in tandem, not to enslave you, but to show you the way to freedom, which is always cooperative.
If there is a situation that seems to cause friction, then try being frictionless within. When you let go of the inner tension, the seeming outer tension follows. When you release the conflict within, neutralize the animosity, and forgive , the illusory antagonist dissolves. Why? Because you are no longer the protagonist, the target of your circumstance. There is no more role play of enemy and victim. You shed duality on all sides and become unified, whole without condition. You don’t necessarily need to shed the outer, but to dissolve the inner tension. How you want to live begins now, right within you, so start now. If you have inner conflict, resolve the conflict. In an instant, you are at peace, in the center of your being, you have freed yourself to live as you want to. If there is no enemy on the outside, there is no victim on the inside. Everything can be in harmony, right now. It’s really that simple.
