Unless of course we belong to sub-group whose paradigm is to be different, in which case we don\u2019t want to stray too far from the cultured thinking that exists from the sub-group where we get our sense of belonging?<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>I have a feeling it could be all of the above, and quite possibly a number of other reasons too.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>But whilst it\u2019s highly valuable to consider all such options and seek to<br \/>improve our condition, particularly at the sub-conscious level, perhaps it\u2019s also worth actually just being a bit more open to changing our mindsets on different matters. To realising that we are more than our rigid attachments. We are more than our desires, our preferences and our patterns. We are more than our need for love, and attention, and approval.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>We are something essential. And that essence doesn\u2019t need to feel threatened by stepping outside of paradigms, because it realises that all paradigms are inherently limiting.<br \/>All narratives are inherently limiting. And all identifications are inherently limiting.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Being psychologically flexible need not be something we fear. Perhaps it is actually a doorway through which our greatest growth and evolution can take place.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>So instead of being stuck and wondering why you can\u2019t seem to have your cake and eat it, maybe it\u2019s time to do everything in your power to expand not only your mind, but also your emotional and spiritual bandwidth to be able to simultaneously hold many points of view in one awareness.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>This will permit you a more spectral experience and understanding of life. It will enable you to join the dots on all of the data points that our life experience brings us. And it will afford you an ability to adjust your mindset according to new information, rather than holding on for dear life to the mindset that was borne of the old information. The mindset from which you are subconsciously trying to grow out of (being generous) and\/or escape from (being frank).<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>If you\u2019ve not yet realised it, there always needs to be an internal shift, before you can realise an external shift. And the more you open up to that, the more you can enjoy the fruits of a holistically hedonistic life in a gloriously sustainable and meaningful way. Where you can simultaneously live with purpose, whilst also enjoying the ride.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Now maybe that\u2019s just my mindset thinking that that\u2019s a life worth living. All I can say is that having considered all the possibilities I can comprehend, that that\u2019s where I\u2019ve landed. What about you? How many possibilities can you fathom? And where do you land when your nervous system is quiet, your mind is open, and the signals from your essential essence are coming through clearer?<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>May you all enjoy an ultra open minded (and open hearted) week where new perspectives seep into your awareness.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>With love<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Will and the Team xxx<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3b82cb2\" data-id=\"3b82cb2\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-1157b90 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1157b90\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-1ac9686\" data-id=\"1ac9686\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-da4defa elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"da4defa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*!
