Our lives are nothing but a complex phenomenon which is absolutely jam-packed with limitations. Every single day, our thoughts limit how we move forward in the world. We don't apply for that job, because we think we're not good enough. We continue that addiction, because we don't think we're strong enough to break it off. We keep doing the "same old, same old" because that's just you.
I'd like to tackle the underlying root behind all limiting thoughts. Behind all of the suffering and the stories we tell ourselves, is the idea that... There is such a thing as "Me." Let's think about it for a moment. Look at yourself right now. Is there really a "me" in this current moment? You might think that you're the body. Or a spirit inside that body. Perhaps your belief is that you're part of a big mass of consciousness. Whatever you think, that's all right. But also consider that it may also be just another limiting belief. And just for now, witness what is happening. If you really look hard enough, without going into memory for a moment!, you'll realize that all that is with you right now is a phenomenon of awareness.
You're seeing, hearing & experiencing. But in this particular moment, You're not limited. You're not addicted. When we stop identify with the "Me" that we're all so desperately attached to, we lose the self and suddenly all of the things we think define us drop away. All that we are is what is here in this present moment.
Think about it. There isn't a "me" to have an addiction or sadness. And that also means there isn't even a "me" to have happiness, too! It also means there isn't a "me" to have any of the long-standing problems and issues you believe you have. They're just limiting thoughts. In the awareness that you are, without going into memory, those issues don't exist.
In other words if you really drop the limitations and notice what is really here, you'll discover. All there is is the inherent freedom that you already are. Every single thought is a limitation. Let go of the limitation and discover the freedom you can only ever be. My limit is Sky!
Happy BYBS and a Wonderful week ahead.

Good post. I would keep the memories so, just release the hold they have on our lives. Without our memories, we live in the NOW, but that is because there is nowhere else to go.
