Do you ever have the impression that you're merely going through the motions, on autopilot, and being controlled by fear? Many of us have experienced it before. There is another way to live—a path that is deliberate, love-centered, and linked to the divine. The difference between the capital Self and the lowercase Self becomes relevant in this situation.

The lowercase "self" stands for our survival-based, fear-based mentality. It's the aspect of ourselves that runs on automatic pilot, repeating familiar routines and putting safety first. However, there is a capital Self, a part of ourselves that is connected to the divine, deliberate, and loving. This is the aspect of us that has the ability to make decisions.

By using our power of choice, we may shift from a fear-based, survival mode to a more conscious, love-centered way of being. By stopping, taking a deep breath, and establishing a connection with our higher self, we may make choices that are aware and in harmony with our true nature. It involves letting go of long-held routines and intentionally choosing how we wish to portray ourselves to others. Through this transition, we get access to a life that is full of love, presence, peace, and purpose.

So, keep this in mind the next time you notice yourself operating automatically. Decide to live from your true self, who is in touch with the divine and led by love. Accept intentionality and liberate yourself from fear-based behavior. It's a path of self-discovery and development, but it's also one that results in a more contented and harmonious way of being. Create a life that showcases the beauty and love you hold within you by starting now.
