Break free

Living down to someone’s ideas of who you should be or their expectations for you puts you in their little cage. It’s the should rather than could that gets us in trouble. Could is about potential and should is a defined (already set) limited path of being.

Every time you worry about disappointing, pleasing or offending them you add another padlock to the door of your imprisonment.

Breaking free is a challenge but it’s done everyday.

Decide to live your life, on your terms, as you want to.

Others may love you still or not, but that’s not your concern. Yours is to be free.

It’s your life. too often we reach the end of it just when we’re really getting started.
