Obstacles, patterns — maybe they move in cycles. For me, when the mind can feel like it reaches a hardened place rigid fear, frustration, wanting to control the outcome, wanting attention, validation, to be noticed, to be the “important” one, the “favourite.”
These recurring patterns, emotions and triggers are opportunities for me — although they rarely feel like opportunities in the moment. In the moment, they can feel more like: I want to be right.
But then there is this gap.
A moment where something settles, and you realise: why am I handing my emotions over to external validation?
What if I stayed in that gap?
What if I allowed myself to feel free — to remember that this life is yours, that you are all of it, and that you do not need that validation?
When you truly feel this, perhaps this is freedom.
We can hear these teachings. We can understand the knowledge. We may even know it intellectually. But for me, the question is: have I actually lived inside that gap long enough to allow it to be filled with all of my own energy?
To me, that can only empower the self and those around us, while beginning to release some of the heavy chains we may be carrying from the past — perhaps even through our ancestry.
