Take the Lead!

Written By Michael Ocher

We’re in the midst of the month of Libra, or Tishrei in Hebrew. The symbol of Libra is the scales, and its energy often shows up as overthinking. Libra seeks harmony and beauty—that’s one of its greatest gifts. But what Libras often forget is to simply have fun.

The organ they tend to overuse is the brain—constantly calculating, analyzing, processing, trying to decide what’s right or wrong, good or bad. This keeps them stuck in their heads rather than present, free, and enjoying life. One of Libra’s main evolutions is learning to become a fully present being—no longer a slave to the judgments and opinions of others. As one of my favorite teachers, Gary Douglas, the founder of Access Consciousness, says: “Do you want to be free, or do you want to be right?”

Another beautiful quality we can cultivate this month is authority. In one way or another, we all tend to outsource our authority to someone or something else. “What do others think of me? What do they say?” I’ve never met anyone who reached happiness or freedom by living from this question. In fact, the opposite is true—the more you hand your authority over to others, the more unhappiness you create.

Why? Because you are the only authority in your reality. No one else can do that for you—not even God can interfere with your choices.

Truth can never be outsourced. You can be inspired by everything around you, but ultimately, you must claim your own authority over your reality and your being. Until you do, you’ll live in false pain and a victim-filled reality. Freedom comes not from clinging to right or wrong, but from choosing what’s true for you.
