I can be whoever I want. 

The great thing about travelling on yourown is that nobody knows you. This means that you can be however you choose tobe because the other people don’t know how you usually are and therefore don’t haveany expectations about how you will be.  

People behave towards you the way youexpect them to, so when we are in relationships for a period our experiences ofthat relationship shapes what we come to expect from the other person. Forexample, if your partner continually complains about “people” (referring toeveryone else in the family except them haha) always leaving dirty dishes in the sink, you will come to expect them to complain – and so they will. If you would like them to be more accepting or more relaxed, then it will require you seeing them that way now, feeling the way you would if they were that way now, AND being that way yourself.   

Be the change you want to see in others.   

I noticed while I was away that I was fun,funny, playful, relaxed, accepting and knowing. I can be like that here in myhome environment too. But I was consistently that way. Why wouldn’t I be? I didn’tcook a meal or organize anything.   

I didn’t have to think.   

I did of-course because our minds are madeto think. But there was no planning required, it was all done for me.   

I was free to just be.   

So – I brought this home with me as much aspossible. I don’t need to go on a cruise or meet new people to be who I want tobe. I knew this already and I was doing it a lot. But now I know it more and I’mdoing it more.   

I am free.   

There is nothing like a pure white sandybeach and clear aqua ocean to give you the sense of freedom. Freedom is ourbirthright.   

We have the freedom to think whateverthoughts we choose.  

This is always true.   

Sometimes we think thoughts that perhaps wewould prefer not to think, and it might feel like we don’t have control overthem. I felt like that years ago. All I wanted was for the noise in my head tostop, because I didn’t like my thoughts.   

Why on earth would we think about things wedon’t like?   

Because we have been trained to. Notdeliberately. The people around us thought them too, so they passed them onto us.This is how we became conditioned to habitually think in a certain way. We weretold to face reality.   

Some of your habitual thinking is good foryou.   

Some of it is not.   

So how do you control your thoughts? By noticinghow you feel. If you feel good, you like your thoughts. If you don’t, you don’t.   

Freedom is what everyone wants. The freedomto be yourself and the freedom to do and have what you want. When you have theresources to allow you to live that way, you will feel free.   

The way you will receive the abundance tobe free is to feel free now.   

You don’t need to go on a cruise to the Bahamasto feel free, but it makes it very easy.   

What could you do to allow yourself to feelfree? What is your little “Bahamas” right where you are now? Do whatever ittakes to feel free, and then act with a sense of freedom, and watch the people,opportunities, and circumstances that you will attract to bring you more andmore freedom.
