Achieving Tranquility
It seems that just about the time that we think nothing more could happen, it does. We are together navigating through an unperfected transforming time. The world around us is growing increasingly turbulent, the economy is faltering on a worldwide scale, while our ocean is becoming a toxic wasteland. Each person can be affected in varying degrees by social, economical, ecological developments. We are personally affected in our small circle of life by what we experience, along with the more comprehensive devastation we witness on the global scale. I was reminded of how the big picture effects us individually when a friend shared that she could no longer find joy in the things in life that use to bring her pleasure.
Above everything else we must keep our quality of life in tact, by gleaning the bits of true joy from our lives. So you can no longer afford the morning Latte, have a cup of coffee at home while sitting in your favorite spot. You may experience more comfort and a deeper meaning to your day by starting with a moment of uninterrupted meditation. The costs are minimal with a huge rate of return on the time invested.
Take a class in something new; attend a lecture, garden, challenge yourself to go farther than you dreamed possible. This new expanded energy can reduce a lot of worry time. This can be the greatest opportunity to change your life for the better; regardless of the hand being dealt. Unforeseen forces can alter even the most well laid plans, leaving us to either shrink or grow. Choose growth.
Creating some positive energy flow is every individual’s legacy. You own the ability to create new beginnings and aspire to reach new goals. Nothing or no one can take that from you; it can only be given away. Where do you want to spend the rest of your life? Are you living fearful clutching to ruins of yesterdays dreams? Let go…
These are not dark days where we have been cast to be victims. Stand up, there is a call from the Universe to shift our priorities and become the light source that is needed. We are the answer.
