One of the most important decisions is to choose to truly live. What holds us back? The limiting beliefs planted by family, culture, and society—systems that glorify struggle and even suffering. And those caught in that system may ask: How can anyone LIVE LIFE! and enjoy the path in a world so full of violence, evil, conflict, scarcity, illness, selfishness, and endless calamities?
What is often overlooked is that life is a stage, and each of us is the artist of our own script. We can choose a story of hardships, or one filled with joy, thankfulness, love, and wonder at the simple fact of waking up each morning alive and able to enjoy our gifts: to see, hear, feel, speak, laugh, rejoice, love, dream, walk, eat, sing, study…, to serve.
Do not get trapped in the “horror films” on your mental screen. If they are not part of your path, they are not yours. Focus on your own theater and activate the gifts you were born with joy, enthusiasm, wisdom, determination, gratitude, valuing, understanding and acceptance.
To live fully is to embrace those gifts and become a light for others.
Namasté, Claudia Soto.
