A Brave New World

A Brave New World

Sometimes in life facing the new day takes a power & energy beyond what others in our life know. We stumble because we don't believe that we have the strength to go on, when truly that strength is always within us. 

We need to look at the new day as an opportunity, instead of a challenge and realize that with each new day we move beyond the fear that holds us back. For without releasing that fear and moving forward in our lives we become stuck and stagnate and never become who we are truly meant to be.

Yes, somedays it takes great bravery to move forward and let go of all the yesterdays that have piled up inside of us. But, truly the only path forward is in focusing on what is possible in this new day and being grateful for the opportunity to have a fresh start.

All those yesterdays can be a huge burden to carry with you and the ability to let them go is not an easy one. You are braver than you believe you are and the secret to letting those burdens go is set firmly inside of you.

If the past year has taught us anything it is to be resilient and it takes being brave to find that resiliency. Trust in our strength, even when it feels like it's fading, and believe that every morning is a new opportunity, a new chance to live the life you've always dreamt of.

Yes, we live in a challenging time right now and it feels sometimes that we are facing a brave new world because of the daily changes we face. Just remember that you have the power to change everything in your life and you have the strength to make it happen.

Start each morning with things you are grateful for. No matter how small they are, they will begin to change the world around you by bringing a change in your outlook to the new day. Then compliment yourself on the things you have accomplished in the past day or two. We to often are ready to give praise to everyone in our our lives but ourselves. This will give you strength and purpose because slowly you will start to believe in yourself.

You are amazing and there is no one as unique as you. You have the power of God/Universe within you, you can connect with that power anytime you allow yourself to feel it. We are all one, connected by spirit and the more we allow ourselves to feel that connection, that oneness, the more we can face this brave new world!

Compassion

Compassion

I’ve written a lot over the years about the importance of discovering love in your life. First, the love for yourself, as everything in this world begins with where we are at and what we manifest. But in times like these I think we need to go beyond love, we need to find true compassion.

So what is compassion? The dictionary describes compassion as: “a feeling of deep sympathy and sorrow for another who is stricken by misfortune, accompanied by a strong desire to alleviate the suffering.”

Today with everything going on in the world it’s easy to fall into the trap of negativity. To “pick” on others to give us some sense of power because we have no control over our own lives. But I propose doing the exact opposite, discovering compassion for yourself and your fellow human being.

We live in a world that is broken because we have lost the ability to talk. We have more access to information and the ability to communicate than we have ever had before but we use these resources in limited ways, we only read what we agree with and communicate to be right, not to listen and learn.

This has caused the world to become fractured, each of us only allowing ourselves to be with the people we agree with. Unfortunately this sets us back to the time of early man where most communication was not possible. So, we went by our perception, our gut or our belief that a tribe, a person, a country was a threat to who we truly are.

Why should we go backwards? Why can’t we use technology to grow together? I would suggest it is because of our egos,  because we have moved away from the ability to listen, truly listen and we have decided that everything outside of what we believe is not only wrong, but it is a threat to our actual being.

This could not be further from the truth, but our ego wants to be right, our ego likes the false sense of control, and our ego decides that we are all that truly matters! Love and compassion are the gateway beyond the ego. Only by truly caring for another can we get to a place where we are willing to open our mind and our hearts to what is truly possible.

Find compassion in your life, discover what it is like to be more than yourself, not to satisfy your ego of being the great person you are, but to open your heart to someone that really needs your help and right now there are millions that do. Let go of the anger, be willing to listen, and be willing to open your mind to other possibilities.

Only by continuing to grow to do we learn to be selfless. 

Till next time,
