Angels can fly because they take themselves so lightly
–Anonymous
It is so easy to be serious. In the ’60s and 70’s we were live and let live, live and pay later, take chances and explain later. In the ’80s and 90’s we became self-analytical, explaining and processing and taking all day and all weekend workshops, being positive and anchoring to music or dynamic affirmations. We went from having a small role in our destiny to an obsession with the outcome of our destiny. We went from not being accountable to being accountable for everything, everyone, all of our children’s actions.
Be proactive, yes! Know your own values and do your best to live them every day, yes!
Yet please remember that the difference-makers of the world do not take on everyone else’s problems, they remain light enough that they can touch, love, shine light and leave magic on the hearts and souls of many.
Ask yourself this week, what do I let bring me down that has nothing to do with me?
If you are helping and impacting others are you more discouraged than they are?
How can we fly if we are carrying the weight of the world on our shoulders?
Thanks Temple. Staying light also lifts you up yourself, while lifting others. And leaves you ready to apply yourself to being proactive in your own life. To grow. To dream. To pour emotionally worthwhile effort into your chosen work.
Indeed, being light helps you Be a light. A beacon for others. And that’s how you continue to grow enough to have what to offer in all your tomorrows.
blessings,
Cynthia
