FREEDOM TO BE I & II

FREEDOM TO BE I

What are the things that hold me back,
That keep me from growing into who I am meant to be?

Those pesky shadows, the unconscious beliefs that only want to protect me, to save me from embarrassment –
The “I am not good enoughs, the I am unworthys, the I don’t belongs,”
Those nagging doubts that stop me in my tracks just as I step over the threshold of creativity.

I will embrace them, play with them, thank them for their service, then expose them to the light.
For it is the light that reveals the shadows for the imposters that they are.
The light unveils them as nothing more than protective constructs designed to keep me in my place.
The light releases me from their power and allows me freedom to be my true self,
the soul that I was meant to be.

 

FREEDOM TO BE II
Shadows hold me back,
A prisoner to their thrall.
Light frees me to be.
