THE FREEDOM BEHIND NECESSITY

May I turn your attention for a moment to “Necessity”? No doubt you have heard, and may have uttered phrases that begin with “I have to...” “I should.....” “I have no choice but to....”

Almost out of habit, we assume Necessity as an impost, rather than regard it as an opportunity and a sign saying "This way out, stupid!". I say “almost out of habit” because there is always a moment of choice, just before we duck whatever it is we're bent on avoiding – a moment when we could pause, take our power back, and take responsibility for whatever we do next.

But we don't, and even fail to notice that Point of Choice. That is our first mistake.

Our second mistake is to use "necessity" as an excuse, or code word for avoiding what could be a chance to be free.



Stand in this for a while........at least until you get it........

Freedom is found by engaging creatively with Necessity

Freedom is found by surrendering to Necessity

Freedom is found by chosing to go with Necessity

Here's a hint to help you get started:- To see this, you'll have to get a bit closer than just thinking about it. Catch yourself baulking at Necessity. Stop. Take a moment, and then do some thing different – for a change. Embrace Necessity as life saying “Here, go This Way”

You've tried dodging responsibility  and blaming Necessity: how has that worked for you lately?

It might not look like it at the time, but Necessity will be your escape route to freedom.

Make it so
