Clarifying What is Truly Important
As we navigate periods of uncertainty, we can often gain a deeper understanding of what inspires and truly brings us peace and makes us feel safe. In times of confusion or chaos, introspection and observation give us the opportunity to choose how we respond to outside influences and opinions driven by fear. Each person is responsible for their own emotional responses, and it is not selfish to protect your own well-being.
In the midst of external challenges, it is possible to serve as a positive influence rather than becoming overwhelmed by negativity. It is important to exercise discernment regarding where we can make constructive contributions while maintaining a perspective of compassion and understanding. Recognizing the distinction between providing meaningful support and becoming entangled in matters beyond our control is essential.
Our human experience has always presented us with the opportunity to respond to every situation from either trust or insecurity.
When we choose to stay out of fear and focus our awareness on the good around us (and there is good around us), rather than being distracted by the chaos around us, we will create a more peaceful existence.
Our essential nature is to live gracefully in the moment, but the world that we live in can easily pull us away from that. When we hold the space of empathy, we release the responsibility of the outside world.
Today I choose empathy over fear and send love and light to the world around me.
