As you grow into an adult, you begin to live those programs and make them your 'truth'.
But then you reach full maturity.... at 50, 60 or whatever and something happens inside. One day you tell yourself, "You know, I never liked doing ___ and I'm not going to do it that way anymore."
And so, you begin to discard one by one all the programs that never worked for you and start to choose your own programs.... ones that ring true to you. And you begin to live your life as a real creator, designing your own truths and living your days in authenticity. Quite exciting to have the advantage of 'old age', my niece...,, you have something to look forward to."
Just thought I'd share these thoughts from my beloved "Tia Maya". |
Absolutely the nicest way to end a perfect week is to read this.
Food for intense thought.
I just love you Uptown Girl! Your pretty head is filled with wisdom!
