To understand this is impossible. To know it, and yes, there is a difference between understanding (intellectually) and knowing (with a whole body feeling), requires a sense of expansiveness, possibility, and freedom - not being limited by external constraints or internal beliefs about what's possible.
It's a choice to show up unbounded. A place where you're fully expressed, bringing all of who you are to each moment and interaction. You're not hiding, shrinking or contorting to fit someone else's mold. There's an ease and authenticity that comes from being anchored in your truth.
The act of UNBOUNDING begins when you start to connect to your innate wisdom and power. You trust your inner knowing and aren't afraid to chart your own course, even if it deviates from the norm. You give yourself permission to want what you want and to go after it unapologetically.
This way of being requires shedding the conditioning, stories and coping mechanisms that keep you stuck in limitation. It means taking radical ownership of your reality and no longer giving your power away to external circumstances or other people's expectations.
An unbounded life is one of conscious creation. You approach life as the artist of your experience, taking bold and aligned action in service of your vision. You're devoted to your own growth and evolution, continually expanding beyond perceived limits.
From this empowered place, you move through the world with openness and curiosity. You embrace the full spectrum of the human experience - the challenges and the triumphs, the beauty and the messiness. You allow life to move through you, staying present to it all.
By courageously showing up as all of who you are, you give others permission to do the same. Your very being is an invitation for others to step into their greatness.
You're no longer bound by fear, scarcity or unworthiness. Instead, you're free to create a reality that reflects your deepest desires and truth. You're living in alignment with your highest self, offering your unique gifts in service of something greater, and helping to elevate the collective consciousness.
As you fully embody and express your essence, true freedom, within and without, suddenly appears and sends you a welcoming smile.
I’ve been living (trying anyways) a life unbounded since late 2022 when I stepped out of my corporate career and felt a diving tap on the shoulder. This was a nudge to continue my journey by writing a book. So, I did what anyone who gets a message from above would do, I said, “No thank you!”
Day two I got the same tap. Day three, four, five … man, does the universe have a rhythm or what? It took another 3 weeks but I finally sat down and gave it a whirl. Three months later I had written, Papercuts: The Art of Self-Delusion.
It was sobering to realize that I had lost myself along way.
If your anything like me, you've prioritized caring for others and rushed to satisfy the demands of work, family, and society all while neglecting the one person who matters most - YOURSELF!
The cost of this self-neglect creeps up until you find yourself depleted; an empty vessel with nothing left to give. You wonder, "How did I end up here?" Somewhere along the way, you stopped prioritizing yourself. The papercuts run deep (at least they did for me)!
