“Every day I am making decisions about what I bring forth into the world…”
Yes.
Once I saw how nothing I feel or believe or think is as true as my intention to live deliberately - I feel free and calm. All I have to do is surrender my preferences to what is in front of me. Life confirms this revelation - it has gotten so much better (despite hardships, grief and confusion).
