Takeaways:

• We don't need permission to pursue our dreams; we're just waiting for a sign.
• People often feel trapped by their own choices, which can lead to inaction and frustration.
• The idea of needing approval from others is outdated; we can create our own paths.
• Documenting our lives might be a way to seek validation for the changes we want to make.
• Understanding that the permission structure has changed can empower us to take risks and embrace change.
• The freedom to be ourselves is already within us; we just need to stop waiting.

This is the daily note.

I'm James A.

Brown.

No one needs permission anymore, but we're all waiting for it.

Permission to leave the bad job.

Permission to stop pretending.

Permission to admit this isn't working.

We're all standing at doors that we could open waiting for someone to say it's okay.

I see it everywhere.

People trapped by their own freedom, paralyzed by options, drowning in choices while they do nothing.

Maybe that's why we document everything.

We're looking for evidence that someone somewhere gave us permission to change, to quit, to start to be different.

The permission structure collapsed, but we're still waiting for approval from authorities that no longer exist.

You don't need permission to be who you want to be.

Neither do I.

So why are we waiting?

Let me know@jamesabrown.net or call me.

On that note, I'm James A.

Brown, and as always, be well.
