Mission

 By Susan Frybort

MISSION

To survive you had to pay attention. You had to listen 

and learn the rules, then follow them closely. But your

needs were kept from being expressed inside these

rules. Eventually, you began to question the validity of

your needs, and even lost trust in your own judgment.

When you must hide what you really want or require,

there is no space for confidence to fly freely. There's no

room for trust to grow. No opportunity to learn from 

what it is you've been craving. It's not joyous or

satisfying when you make it your main purpose to

please others and reject your hunger to actualize.

Now your walk, your steadfast Mission, becomes about

You. Your survival defenses are no longer required and

your responses to appease are ready to be released.

And your new practice is to allow yourself to express

and unquestionably believe in your deepest needs.
