How’s your world?
Man! There are no lack of opinions pertaining to what’s going on out there today. ‘It’s just the flu.’ ‘It’s going to kill us all.’ ‘We need to stay inside & away from the world to make it stop.’ ‘I don’t care, I’m not going to get sick.’ ‘It’s a conspiracy theory. They’re about controlling the masses.’ ‘It started with a bat.’ ‘It was created.’ ‘It came from drinking beer?’
So, where do you get your news? And how often are you watching/reading focused on it? TV? Cable? Facebook? Newspaper? Internet feeds? Family, Friends, Relatives, Neighbors? And who do you believe? And what does it all mean?
Then there are the reactions. ‘I’m scared to death.’ ‘I’m going to get sick and die.’ ‘I miss sports.’ ‘The economy is never going to come back.’ ‘What does this all mean?’ ‘I’m enjoying the time off with myself and my family.’ ‘I’ll never work again.’ ‘I was going well, then this crisis happened and I can’t get my mojo back.’ ‘when can we play/listen to music again?’
How are you doing, and what do you think? Are you reacting or responding? Are you rolling with the punches or are you being punched? Is what is happening ‘out there’ going to significantly affect what’s happening ‘in here’? In here means your heart and your mind. My opinion, for what it’s worth, is we can’t control what’s happening out there. We can only control what’s happening with us.
Then, there is also a thought/opinion/observation that there is major good coming after this. Think of it as a double rainbow after a storm. We have fresh clean air, the earth is repairing itself, families are spending quality time, cooking, eating, playing games, etc. People are experiencing gratitude for what they have, appreciating the the little things, rethinking what’s truly important.
How would you like to be? Peaceful. Resourceful. Playful? You have the power. You are a light that cannot be dimmed by outside influences unless you let it. Make a choice. Then live your choice. Your choice!
