Take off the restraining bolt

The droids in Star Wars had restraining bolts fitted so they couldn’t stray and had to do as they were told.

In life, we willingly fit our own restraining bolt and create our own rules in our head to stop us from doing what we fear.

If we are prepared to see that the fear is the guide to things that matter, then we can take off our restraining bolt.

It’s our choice to deny, restrict and stop ourselves.

Live unrestrained by you.

Life is a balancing act

Our lives are a balancing act, we will sway one way and then the other, trying to keep on the rope.

The more we practice balancing the better we get and the less we fall off. But if we don’t start down the rope we never get any good at balancing.

If we want to do our best and achieve our dreams, sooner our later we all have to walk the high wire and one day we’ll feel confident enough to remove the safety net.
