The Easiest Answer to Being Free

Updated: Mar 22, 2023

One of the most powerful words in the world happens to be a part of who you are.


It is what helps you create that happy, successful, and fulfilling life you always imagined you could live.


This word is your secret weapon to withstand all distractions of every nature.


It helps you uncover the truth about who you are and what you have to offer to the world.


It protects you.

It empowers you.

It guides you.

It also sets you free.


It will never leave you… unless you give it away.


This is one of my favorite words in the entire world.


I guess I have a few. : )


The word?


Integrity.


Such a great word! It really does have super powers.


Consider this...


You are creating a wonderful life for yourself.

You are gaining some success in an area.

Others are drawn to you.

Some are there to help.

Others are there to stop you.


It is this word that will steer you through these confusing times of who to trust.


It is this word, if you pay attention to it, that will keep you safe from harm and keep you on your own personal path to happiness and fulfillment.


Integrity. n. the state of being whole and undivided.

What a great definition in terms of who we are.


Think about it.


You are whole and undivided.


You are not confused.

You are not depleted.


You are you.


We all know how easy it is to get distracted from who we really are and from our dreams and the visions we have for a beautiful, meaningful and fulfilling life.


How often are w asked to give up a bit of ourselves to conform with what others are doing or to adhere to what others are thinking? Each time we do this we are veering from what makes us special. We are eroding our own special path.


There is no one in the world quite like you. No one sees the world as you do or can love it the way you do. No one can create what you can because they cannot see what you see.


This word, “integrity” is there to help protect you from ideas that you don’t believe in, in the first place. It is that voice or that strong feeling that activates within you when you are asked to go against you.


Listen to it.


Forge your path with certainty that your views are special. Work hard to bring those views and ideas to fruition. Hone them and let them rise above the norm.


Ignore those who ask you to conform to be less than or only part of you.


Embrace those who see you, love you, encourage you, and inspire you. They will never ask you to give up a part of you. They will only offer to breathe life into all that is you to ensure you are whole.

Your integrity is you.


Listen to it.


Trust it.


Use it to create a beautiful life.


You are an ARTIST.

I see it.


With great love,

Annie
