Different roles

We spend our whole lives trying to be all the different roles that the mind has created for us.

Instead, we could save ourselves all the energy and suffering by just being ourselves. By being our true essence means we do not have to be anything or have to live up to an image and constantly maintain it.

Free from stories

Stop, pause, and ask, what story am I telling myself?

Whatever the story is, you are choosing what to tell yourself.

So we can change that story at any point.

The other thing even more important than that is, it is only your mind that is creating this story or stories very often. It isn’t the real you it is just your mind and its ego.

If you want to live out the fantasies of your mind then at least choose a good one. Better still live in the real life of this moment free from any attachment to your mind and its stories.
