Labels Limits Us

"When I let go of what I am,
I become what I might be."
                                                                             -- Lao Tzu

How do you define yourself, to yourself and others?
Are you first and foremost a husband/wife? A mother/father?
A bus driver, dentist, musician ... ? A Christian, Moslem, Jew ...?
A nag, joker, dreamer ...?

Be aware that any label puts limits on you.
Today, experience how it feels to let go of the labels
to rest in ‘I am.’
Feel the freedom, the spaciousness, the infinite potential of
simply being.

"With every breath, the possibility of a new aspect of self arises."
                                                                           -- Wayne Muller

"As long as I am this or that, I am not all things."
                                                                           -- Meister Eckhart
