LOCK IN

5/29/2025

I’ve been watching a lot of basketball. I especially love to experience the Indiana Pacers play ball.

Listening to the interviews before and after the games with players and coaches I often hear the phrase: We gotta LOCK IN. Or, we didn’t play well, we weren’t LOCKED IN.

I also love that many of the Pacers players say: We just gotta go out there and BE Ourselves.

Being LOCKED IN and being WHO YOU ARE are one in the same. LOCKED IN is BEing your complete PRESENCE. BEING WHO YOU ARE is completely BEing your PRESENCE.

As I contemplated this writing, I realized that the only thing that has ever truly not felt good is when I am NOT being who I am.

Whether it was a physical not feeling well, an emotional not feeling well or a mental not feeling well, all not feeling well stemmed from not being who I am. I consistently traded mySelf, my Presence, my Spirit for external affirmation.

I have news. Being who you are is not a negotiation. I no longer trade my Life-Force. I am locked INto ME. If I fall out of ME, it’s usually because I am trapped in mental constructs. I notice and I click back IN to my heart and soul.

It is in service to NO ONE for me to be living outside of ME. LOCKED IN to my LIfe-Force and Spirit I serve the World.

Be who You ARE. Lock IN to the life-force and Spirit that is ONE AND ONLY YOU.
