Thanks for the Digg, Adam D.

Tom, welcome — and I’m right there with you on the personal freedom piece!

Adele, :-) isn’t it interesting the internal debates we can get into? We stop ourselves from things that we genuinely want, just because of competing voices (that often shout louder, but are doing so on behalf of old programming!).

Stuart, you’re welcome. And I like that piece about authenticity.

Chris, I think you’re right on — we are making choices in every moment, whether we’re conscious of it or not. Eloquently put… thanks.

One thing that has been immensely helpful is your point about choice. The ultimately freeing aspect of that awareness was realizing that in *every* moment, I am making that choice (even if it doesn't feel like it). Sometimes the choice is between a rock and a hard place, and sometimes it's between both of those places and some place that's actually quite desireable if I'd just let go of those darned conditionings. :) Any which way I look at it though, realizing that I do have the power of choice in every single moment of my life has led me to become friends with that inner critic... to acknowledge and respect it as a peer which believes it has my best interests at heart, and learn to partner with it for my success instead of unhappiness. Your post is a great step towards encouraging others to find their own happiness, as well as a welcome reminder to those who have but may sometimes temporarily misplace it.

I keep being drawn to be more and more authentic and stand as naked as I can before our Maker. The rebel is a sign that authenticity is being questioned. Going inside with extended times of Remembrance has been a great gift toward being more clear and more connected. Thanks for your rich work. Stuart Baker www.consciouscooperation.com Hi Adam,

Really nice post. I keep being drawn to be more and more authentic and stand as naked as I can before our Maker. The rebel is a sign that authenticity is being questioned. Going inside with extended times of Remembrance has been a great gift toward being more clear and more connected.

Thanks for your rich work.

Being a bit of a hippy myself (@Tom) I have a long, long history of conflict between Want v Should ... but I often wondered why the heck I rebel against myself! The minute that new, exciting idea that I Want to write about becomes a Should, it gets passed aside for new, exciting Wants. oooh so THAT’s my problem!

I've been holding the intention to live an obligation-free life and this tip will be extremely helpful. Especially when making decisions on conflicting, chosen priorities. Thanks Monk, good stuff for those of us who hold our freedom in high regard.

I'm am finding myself again, reconnecting with internal mechanisms. Having posts like this around that are clear, concise and provide objective experience are very helpful. Self examination is sometimes painful but rarely fruitless. Cheers. I lost my way some years ago. I’m am finding myself again, reconnecting with internal mechanisms.
