Both as a health coach, and more generally, as a citizen of the world, I'm right there with you all witnessing stocks falling, radical comments by people of power, people acting out of desperation, more war, global warming, famine, natural disasters, and . . . but there's also some "good" news out there, more pervasive and timeless and powerful. 

WE are ALL people of power.  How we exercise it in our daily lives is what drives the cycles of the world ~ politics, climate, peace, and finances.

The MOST true understanding I've come to realize in recent weeks is that these times are yet another opportunity for us each to go within and get real with ourselves about who we are, what we believe, and what we're made of. 

We, and only we, are responsible for whether we want to respond to life (politics, finances, relationships, the earth we inhabit, etc) out of fear (control, defensiveness, judgment, blame, harm) or love (compassion, serving, understanding, openness, acceptance, kindness, seeking outlets for laughter and joy).  That's it.  We really have 2 choices. 

I encourage each of us to continue on a daily, or even moment by moment, basis to check in with ourselves and make choices for ourselves, our families, neighbors and friends that are based on acknowledging (not suppressing or denying) what it is we fear (poverty, starvation, inability to support those we love, etc) . . . YET . . . using that as our guide-post to create the reality, the economy, the country, the global society that we would love to see.

It just takes one person to affect the person next to them, and the person next to them, and . . . like a domino chain.  You choose.  I choose.  Will it be a cascade of fear, desperation, anxiety, and freaking out? . . . or will it be a cascade of letting go of an attachment to outdated ways of operating and opening to the infinite possibilities born out of hope, love, and faith?

Now is a time to give, not covet.  If we use this "opportunity," we can find ourselves in a miraculously beautiful and comfortable existence once the dust settles. 

No matter how challenging things become, we have a choice ~ love or fear, fear or love?  That alone will determine how we weather the storm and the human being that remains in the aftermath ~ a shell or a masterpiece?

Choose wisely.

 

In peace and good health,
Ann
