Realize

   Stress in life is like being in a container and struggling to breathe. We push, kick, punch screaming that we must be free of this contained feeling of fear and faded dreams where goals no longer exist or where never created.

     Most everyone will put some cracks their container to get just enough air to breathe so they won't die, but many will stop there.

     We will have occurrences sustaining us as water and oxygen seep into the crack, but being in this container makes it hard to take action and there is not much sun that reaches us day to day, so we never have a chance to blossom or create the full fruit of our existence. 

      With only a few cracks in this container our roots are shallow and unstable which disconnects us causing frustration and anger so we continue to scream and physically try and break out of this place that keeps us captive, we abuse ourselves ( alcohol, drugs, food, sex, possessions etc. ) because no amount of kicking and screaming will releases us! 

      Until one day, we are out of energy, out of trying, the physical strength is spent, no amount substances, food, sex, travel, material possessions, children ( yes children, many people choose to have children to create and allow connection, to "give them happiness" ) but nothing can release you from this prison. Thats the day we stop looking outward and start looking inward and thats the start of your freedom.

        Through our controlled breath an a deep yearning for change, awareness arrises. New eyes to see what false beliefs are imprisoning you in this place and you start observing the world as a healthy ever evolving environment. 

     To then truly listen with the ears of guidance and love that is within. To taste the food of courage and peace with the gift that is every bite. To touch the feeling of the infinite, a connection beyond yourself. Smelling the air of change, a change in the way we choose to be every moment in this present we call life.

      We will soon see that this "container" this prison, keeping us from knowing ourselves, keeping us from our rooted connected, sun filled, shinning place in this universe was only a thought.. many thoughts actually when repeated enough times become beliefs... the belief that we are trapped, with no power to change. Every limited thought or brick accompanied by belief or concrete, repeated will create/build your prison. As soon as you come to the power of the present moment you will see this "prison" Does Not exist. The illusion is your own, so that means you have the power to Be Aware, Make a Different Choice.  ~growinflow
