Do you like the feeling of freedom? You know, that feeling of being able to simple be yourself, whatever that means?

I love that feeling. I live it!

I used to think I was crazy—wanting to live in such a way where I just followed what I felt. Like seriously, I must be losing my marbles. Living as that feeling? Taking those leaps in life which goes against the way I think my life was going? And actually leaping?

Have you ever had those moments? Has a feeling arisen within you that may have been leading somewhere that was totally unknown, totally illogical. But, at the same time you felt excited and free for no reason?

I started to observe how I was experiencing my life in not following that feeling. I noticed how stuck I had become, just clinging to what I knew, thinking that, one day, I could change it all so then I would be free to take those leaps.

As time went on… I observed I was no freer. The leaps I would have to take in following that feeling seemed to just get bigger. Soon, that feeling of freedom and excitement seemed to disappear. I had convinced myself it just wasn’t possible. That voice inside my head was more real than the feeling of possibilities.

In my darkest and most uncomfortable circumstances, I realised that voice had led me nowhere. Believing it was leading me somewhere was the biggest illusion ever.

I dug deep, and I found that feeling again. I decided to make friends with it. That voice upstairs wasn’t very happy. In fact, that voice went to town on me.

It used all the experiences it had led me to in the past where we failed and fell down: Discouraging me. Instilling fear in me. It wasn’t just about my past experiences. That voice tried to use these past experiences against me. That voice wanted to own me and never let me go.

But, as always, that feeling was there. It never left me—no matter how much I believed it wasn’t real. That feeling never left me—no matter how much pain I brought us in believing that voice.

I started to fall for the feeling. I had nothing else left. I was already gone. If it was to be me and that voice any longer, then I’d rather just end the show.

The feeling wouldn’t have it. Like a warm breeze that finds you on a late summer evening, I was picked up. I heard the feeling  whisper, “It will be okay.”

I got to know that feeling once again. I started to move with it, step by step. Soon enough, I found myself dancing again. There were no more leaps. It was just a constant flow of moments all wrapped into one.

Even though things hadn’t changed in my story, and that voice would always try take me away from this moment where the feeling always was and is, I chose to stay with the feeling. I started to feel freedom and happiness, for no reason at all. I realised that was what life was all about: That feeling, becoming it and being it.

That was what it meant to truly be alive.
