“My circumstances do not make me what I am; they reveal who I have chosen to be.”
(Dr. Wayne Dyer)

I believe in heaven. I believe in a new state of being, after death, that feels more real, and more free, than this life ever could. But that reality comes with a cost: Giving up the delusion that other people were mostly in charge of our  lives here on earth.

We can taste this freedom here and now, though, by doing the same thing. Am I willing to recognize my current circumstances as a reflection of my choices? Am I willing to see my adult life as more my responsibility than anyone else’s fault?

Are you?

Peace begins with pause,
