The challenges are real. What you are feeling is real. What you experience is your reality.
There are ways of looking at life through different angles, different lenses and different emotions.
My computer has been challenging me with slow and unresponsiveness. It takes it a while for me to even know that it is working. I find myself aggravated and frustrated. I spend what time I can with it and then, after that, I know only to walk away. I’ve had computer experts’ help. It still challenges me. I do what I can then I let it go.
And, the computer isn’t really the challenge(s) that I started referring to. And, yet, the computer, websites, social sites and easy connection to everything certainly can be challenging. It can certainly lead us to see things we would rather not see or know things we rather not know about on a daily basis. An on-going daily basis. A constant-ness of ugly.
We are aware more than ever because of our instantaneous global and local connection. Darkness, hurtful and ugly things are more pronounced and in our face than I’ve ever experienced before.
While I believe that this can be a very positive thing overall in the long run, it can also feel overwhelming, devastating and too much for me to feel, know and be aware of. Whoa, our world is challenged and challenging.
This is way big for me to even want to look at the whole picture and I have no idea where to start in and tackling of it all.
I come back to being me. I come back to being you. When we are love. When we care. When we support. When we share our best self… this is the easiest and most joyful for me.
I do have everything inside of me to connect to my own love. I do have everything inside of me to open up to my own peace. I do have everything inside of me to know my truth. I am capable of sharing my truth even as my whole being quivers from fear of doing same.
Perhaps, this is where we all can be most real. Bring the truest, most loving part of you out. Be the you that you feel best being.
Fear, anger, mistrust, and uncertainty are parts of many of our lives just now. They may always be. I know I feel better when my fear and anger choose love. I feel better when my mistrust and uncertainty sit in a place that I believe that whatever comes up for me, I will bring my true and current self to it. I know I feel better when I feel connected as opposed to disconnected.
I don’t know what you feel best as. I don’t know what you can find within yourself that supports yourself (and others) from a place of love. I don’t know that even when you are hurt you could choose to stay in a loving place. I don’t know that this feels better on and for you. I do know that what you do feel matters; that how you do act and react dribbles back and out to your loved ones and into the all-ness that is our world.
There is great pain and suffering in our current world. There is disconnect and anger.
I hope for better and easier days. I hope for positive connectedness. I hope for caring. I hope for support. I hope for love to win.
May you ask yourself if you are putting out into the world what you really want to live in… Perhaps, this is a good place to start. Perhaps, you can create a world inside of yourself that pleases, tickles, enlightens, transforms and allows the greatest peace on Earth that you can conjure up.
One experience at a time. One breath at a time. Let your heart and mind be open.
May you bloom deeper and deeper into your true light and self.
