An interesting thought I was reminded of this morning:

 

Having a small identity increases the number of your enemies.

 

The Aramaic root of the word enemy meant "out of sync," so someone or something you are out of alignment with. I think it is more helpful to think of an enemy this way...instead of something that is against you, or threatening, or evil, but rather something that just vibrates at a different frequency!

 

So it is important to understand that who we "decide" we are will impact every aspect of our lives. If you look at the root of the word "decide" it comes from the Latin which means "to cut off" from any other possibility. So once you decide you are a certain way you are absolutely defining a boundary...and anything that vibrates differently can potentially become an "enemy."

 

So another way to think about this idea is that the larger we become increases the potential for more things to support us along the way. We'll have less things to be "out of sync" with, and more things magentized to us that support us in realizing our dreams.

 

How liberating to know that we are NOT the automatic repetitive thoughts and ideas our mind is continually churning out! We are something much larger, much grander, more powerful than any thoughts our mind can come up with! And when we are in the midst of all our "stuff" knowing this truth is what sets us free.
