LIVE YOUR TRUTH by listening to your HEART.

Living your truth is really about being authentic and living your passion. Many times when I ask people what they are passionate about they say they don’t know…but they really do. However…

We are usually so much “in our head” that we get disconnected from our heart. The heart is where the passion lies. Quiet your brain to open your heart to find your passion and then live your truth. How do you quiet your brain? Meditation….. and YOGA.

Today practice and encourage kindness in all interactions and see how it feels. Kindness is always possible…even when you are not being treated with kindness…you can still behave kindly…always. It’s not always easy but it’s always possible. Try it.

I have learned that being free is not a matter of rights but more a matter of the limits that we put on ourselves. Frankly, no one has the ability to keep us from freedom and happiness more than ourselves….the person you see when you look in the mirror.

Sometimes it’s easy to give our freedom away by thinking that we don’t have it. But we do, we always do. Think about it.

We simply have to have the courage to reach beyond what is comfortable, natural and safe AND try something new, different and at times a little scary.

The times in my life when I have felt the most FREE are the times when I have reached just past scared and did it anyway. The feeling is absolutely frightening and yet exciting and completely free…
