In a time of turmoil.

I came across this quote recently:

"Don’t rely on your mind for liberation. It is the mind that brought you into bondage.

Go beyond it altogether."

I have really been trying to keep this in mind lately because my mind is, without a doubt, my worst enemy. I go from idea to idea and spiral into an abyss of self-doubt and regret without even being conscious of what I'm doing. To me, this quote is telling you to look past your mind and your thoughts for answers. Getting in touch with yourself at a deeper, possibly spiritual level is more liberating than any mental decision because it allows all possibilities, all directions. No "path" is left behind, all remains and a natural progression will fall into order as long as you are in touch with yourself at all times. 

Originally I considered this a new way of thinking for me. Now I understand it is a new way of being. Finding a way to become consistently connected to your inner self is essential. You don't feel like doing a specific task today? Don't do it You don't want to talk to a particular person today? Then don't. Making the decision to live for yourself is a huge one, but it is also one that liberates you mind, body and soul. 

And I'm ready for that journey.
