Be Disobedient With Self-Confidence!

Disobedient is a label and only soup cans need labels. As a child we explored the world with complete abandonment doing exactly as we desired because we could. Then when a particular behavior didn’t fall into the confines society had designed and the rules put in place for our “safe keeping,” we were quickly labeled as disobedient.

But were we really? A disobedient child/adult is someone who doesn’t act right. But who’s “right” are we to follow? Every culture has different rules and ideas how people should act to be accepted.

“…it wasn’t sin that was born on the day when Eve picked an apple: what was born on that day was a splendid virtue called disobedience.” ~ Oriana Falaci

The liberty of our consciousness is a very valuable commodity. As we travel along our journey we realize how much we need to feel we are doing the right thing for us; the things that bring us joy and happiness to us without the worry of what others think or say of us. As long as we don’t hurt anyone we touch we desire to do exactly what we can to live the life we are born to live. In order to accomplish this intention, it may mean disobeying authority.

As we stroll through the archives of history we will find, abolitionists, suffragists and deliberate objectors accomplishing the near impossible – living their lives they way they desire and being called disobedient at the same time. Now that is multitasking – big time.

Our true loyalty is to what is inside of our hearts – our own authority or to the loyalty to a source we believe is outside of ourselves. When we are firm to trust in ourselves our own authority, then we can let others be who they are meant to be without judgments or opinions.

To live a heart centered life is to trust that everyone is doing what is best for him or her first and foremost. That is a true taste of trust. Make it your intention to trust more and look at everyone’s actions as those that are done for the highest and best good for them. See how you feel after practicing it for a while.

Now that is disobedience everyone should learn to live with.
