- No more servility: I will not be at anyone’s beck and call. I am under no obligation to meet every request, especially when I know deep down that it contributes nothing to progress or learning, which means it will leave only a trail of emptiness behind. I am happy to serve what truly nourishes our Being. The rest is not worth it: it is shooting myself in the foot and suffering needlessly.
- No more control: Nobody is going to tell me what to do: whether to come in, go out, or stay. I am free. I do not need anyone to approve of my decisions, nor will I live worrying about whether they consider me insensitive or heartless. I can listen to an opinion without being under any obligation to take it into account. I will consider it if I find something valuable in it for what I want to build and the path I have chosen to follow. My life does not need anyone’s seal of approval.
- No more wasting time and energy on nothing: Stop giving my attention to people who do not really want anything from me. In other words, those who want to stay exactly as they are and care only about keeping themselves entertained to escape everything they find so sickeningly uncomfortable in their lives.
- Respect my space: Stop exposing myself to harmful situations with people I know barely care about me. Or with people who are constantly in conflict with me and only want to continue their absurd war, born of their profound sense of lack.
- Stop bowing my head: Start looking up with confidence. No more senseless shame.
- No more ties to the past: The past does not have to determine my present or dictate how I live. My life can change completely every day.
- No more crumbs: Stop knocking on the door of someone I know will give me nothing but crumbs. And that is the best-case scenario. At worst, they will treat me with contempt or ignore me.
Role-playing: This life seems to be a role-playing game in which we must all learn from our sense of lack and transcend it because, ultimately, we are a Being that lacks nothing. There is no point in helping someone cover up their sense of lack just so they can feel better, because lack is what separates us from Love and happiness.
