Success...🙌

Hi Everyone, here is my latest post on Substack, I would love it if you would also join me there https://open.substack.com/pub/marklawrence541954/p/do-you-ever-just-sit-and-think-too?r=8o4b8l&utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=post%20viewer

Hi Everyone 👋 I know many of you are Skool community owners, so I’d like to ask you how things are going for you. I’d love to see your honest comments too. Also, if you are not a Skool community owners, what are you looking for on Skool?

Hi Everyone 👋 We've talked about the cages. We've talked about the door being open. But there's something I haven't said yet. The cage isn't just made of shoulds and algorithms. It's made of stories. Old ones. Deep ones. Ones we've been telling ourselves so long we think they're facts. I'm not good enough. I don't deserve better. This is just how life is. If I leave, I'll fail. If I speak up, I'll be rejected. These stories keep us small. Keep us safe. Keep us stuck. And most of them aren't even ours. We picked them up somewhere. From parents. From teachers. From a culture that profits from our insecurity. So here's a question worth sitting with. What's one story you're telling yourself right now that might not be true? Not the comfortable one. The one that's holding you back. I'll go first. For years, I told myself I wasn't worthy. That I was not good enough. That one day everyone would find out. That story kept me quiet. Kept me playing small. Then one day I looked at it. Really looked. And I realised that wasn't my voice. It was someone else's. I'd just been carrying it for decades without questioning it. So now I'm asking you. What story are you carrying that isn't yours? Drop it in the comments if you feel called. Sometimes just naming it is enough to loosen its grip. With Love ❤️ Always Mark

Hi Everyone 👋 I spent years trying to get free. Pushing. Struggling. Meditating harder. Reading more books. Chasing more teachers. Thought freedom was somewhere out there. Thought I had to earn it. Fight for it. Then one day I stopped. Not because I gave up. Because I was exhausted. And in that stillness, something shifted. I realised the part of me that was trying so hard to be free? That was the part keeping me trapped. Because the part that's trying is the ego. And the ego can never find freedom. It just finds more things to chase. More ways to prove itself. Freedom isn't something you achieve. It's something you allow. It's not a destination. It's a return to what was always there, underneath all the striving. So here's a question for today. What if you don't have to try so hard? What if peace is already here, underneath all the noise? What if freedom isn't something you have to chase, but something you just have to stop running from? I know this sounds simple. Maybe too simple. But sometimes the simplest things are the hardest to see. So here's your invitation. For a moment, let go of the trying. Stop trying to fix yourself. Stop trying to break free. Just sit. Breathe. Notice what's already here. Underneath the thoughts. Underneath the feelings. Underneath the story. What's there? I'd genuinely love to know. With Love ❤️ Always Mark
