I’m finally free … and all along, I had the key.

I feel like a millionaire, even though my bank account has yet to fully agree. :)

It started when I gave myself permission to be — to be me, to be who I want, to be when I want, as I want…

I’m a writer, but I don’t have to be.

I’m a speaker, but I don’t have to be.

I’m an investor and business owner, but I don’t have to be.

Moment to moment, I’m all of these things, none of these things, some of these things, one of these things, or perhaps, some other thing.

Moment to moment, I get to choose who and what I want to be.

One minute, a writer. The next, a traveler. After that, a great lover. And after that? Anything I choose to be, anyone I want to be.

I have no form, I am all forms — I am form forming, changing, expressing, expanding.

Moment to moment.

I can be who I choose to be.

I don’t have to be anything anyone else says I could, would, or should be. Although I can, if and when, and for as long as, I so freely choose.

Always seeking answers from the outside, seeking direction from the others… Maybe their advice is good, maybe their recommendations are right — but it is I who must choose if, when, and for how long. From this day forward, it is only I who will.

I can be rich and famous, poor and humble, successful, broken, happy, sad, writer, businessman, life adventurer, motivational speaker, truth seeker, spiritual teacher, romantic lover, video game player, Internet surfer, nobody, everybody, angel, alien, time traveler, shape-shifter… All these things, none of these things, other than these things. Sometimes more than one at once. Sometimes, none, sometimes invisible, sometimes, just simply be.

Don’t define me: I can’t be defined.

I’m always changing, growing, expanding, shifting, transforming, re-defining, re-expressing.

I have no form, because I can be any form. I am form forming.

I am free to be me, minute by minute, who I desire to be.

Whether others agree with it or not. Whether it makes sense or not. Whether it apparently serves some higher purpose or not.

I fulfill my purpose by simply being me — in whatever shape, way, and being I take.

This makes me feel free. This makes me feel alive.

This brings hope, healing, and freedom.

This makes me feel free. This makes me feel like a millionaire.

Even though nothing in my external world has changed yet.

But I wonder… how will my outside start to change, now that I’ve changed on the inside? Our external world is a reflection and result of everything going on within. Our thoughts, feelings, choices, decisions… What we’re open to, what we’re closed to… What we’re willing to try, what we aren’t… All those things shape our outside reality.

With a new internal reality, I wonder, what new forms my scenery may take.

For now, I’ll just be.

I was a writer to put together this blog. Now that form is done, for now. ;) I say it’s time for another.

I am free.

God bless you all.

Your friend always,
David Michaels
