The truth sets you free because it always tastes of freedom

Living with integrity will make you happy not because it’s easy, but because it aligns you with reality, with the way things are, with what’s true. It makes you happy because it sets you free. You’re no longer shackled by limiting beliefs or false narratives, you’re free to write the story as you see fit.

“The Buddha used to say, he said this often, that wherever you find the ocean, whatever it looks like, you can know it because the ocean always tastes of salt. And wherever you find awakening or enlightenment, no matter what it looks like, you will know it because it always tastes of freedom. Remember the best moment of your life and what was happening then, how all your muscles will loosen, relax and open. And that is my gauge of truth. Does it set me free? The truth sets you free. So whatever sets you free is the truth.”
