Episode 2: UNPLUG - When you're done is where you begin

Episode 3: UNPLUG - Escapism not Freedom

Verse  There’s been a successful  Branding initiative  Of defining escapism  As freedom. Any activity that temporarily  Numbs your mind  Or keeps you distracted  Long enough to forget  All the pain  You’re aware of or not. This is escapism  In its truest sense.  This is not freedom.  Branding initiative  Notwithstanding. True freedom is the Full and live functioning Of all your faculties In the present moment. It is totally experiencing  Life in all its glory. Joy or sorrow. Pleasure or pain. Irrelevant. Contrary to everything  I’d been conditioned to believe,  I found true freedom  In taking responsibility  For my current situation  And taking thoughtful  Concrete action to become  Who I want to be; To reach my new goals  And destination. a*k² If you’d like to read this content as you work through it, find the podcast episode on my website link in the bio: www.atimesksquared.com.

Episode 2: UNPLUG - When you're done is where you begin

Verse  Everything you’ve done to date Has you invested in the status quo. And so you fight to play inside  The circle you’ve created for yourself. Yet, what you seek is outside. And so you play this game, Until you wear yourself out.  When you’re done, Is where you begin.  When you’re done making excuses, When you’re tired of waiting around For other people or circumstances, Or for your whole life to change. When you’re ready to Shake up your whole world Because it has nothing to offer  That is of any value to you. You’re ready, willing, and able To do whatever it takes  To reclaim control of your life. To find joy, purpose, and meaning. This is where you begin.  Now, nothing and no one  Can stop you  From finding yourself, From making a fresh start. This time, on your own terms.  You don’t need any specific  Person, situation, or thing. You’ll tap into  Every available resource To find out What works best for you. You will figure it out  All on your own.  Because this time,  You’re determined That this is your life. You will design it  How you want it.

Episode 1: UNPLUG - Not all losses are losses

Verse: Losses Not all losses are losses. Some losses are victories Disguised as losses. It’s best in the moment, To not judge what has happened. Sometimes, what you think  To be the best thing  Can turn out to be  The worst over time. And vice-versa. So, before you  Bemoan an event  And declare it a loss,  Give life time  To show you what it really is. For all you know, It may be a blessing in disguise. Just you wait, Let life reveal its magic Through time. But what if you  Find out in the end  That it was indeed a loss? Celebrate what you had  Before you lost it. And resolve to do  What it takes  To protect that  Which you value better.  For more ideas like this, I invite you to check out my website at www.atimesksquared.com [https://atimesksquared.com/]. I'll be seeing you!
