There is a blog called Post Secret, and the founder came up with this idea that he was going to ask people to send in their secrets anonymously via a postcard. They now have about half a million postcards in their possession, which goes to show that people have secrets, and not only that, people have a desire to share that secret. That is within good reason. We know that the more we push something away, the more it takes hold of our life. When we are constantly pretending that a particular situation or emotion or incident does not exist, we are still holding on to illusions of how things should be, instead of learning to deal with life as it is. So what I am saying is, if there is such a secret that is weighing you down in some way, perhaps it is time to consider unloading that burden. It could mean you talk to a trusted friend or work through it with a therapist. Or it could even be expressing it simply by writing it down in a journal. That way, you could live freely. When we chant Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu, we mean it. May all beings everywhere be happy and free is a pledge that includes yourself. And as long as your secrets are a burden to you, you cannot be free. Get out of your own way. You deserve to be happy. You deserve to be free.
