I learned a while back that whatever we feel, we usually make ourselves feel it. If something feels difficult, yes the world might have played a role in making it feel difficult, but ultimately it's us.
We choose how to perceive things, we choose to hold on to our discomfort and we choose to see the negative among all the positive. The contradictions that we feel we usually bring to ourselves just because we can't let go enough to enjoy what our minds want us to feel and enjoy.
We have these ideas in our heads of who we're supposed to be and what we're supposed to be like. I hate comfort and human contact, I am strong and I should never fall apart, I am this and I am that. We hold on to those ideas so strongly -with everything we have and we bury those parts of us that need and want more.
And then when those tiny little parts that feel oh so much, and are hurting oh so much, and suffocating oh so much finally manage to break to the surface and make themselves known. We're too caught up with who we think we are to let who we really are out.
We find ourselves conflicted and we ask what's wrong, and all that's wrong is that we can't let go. We're in our own way. We can't break free of our ideas to let what is true come out.
But once you realize that's what the matter is, once you understand that you are holding you back, that you're the reason for all the conflict and all the contradictions, then you can slowly begin to unbind all those silly little ties and start letting go enough to feel what you need to feel, however way you need to feel it.
You have the power. The complete and whole power and you can break free of whatever is holding you back and you can finally breathe. All you truly have to do is remember to take a breath and feel the wind in your lungs. All you truly have to do is let go, and inhale.
