When I wake up, it is an opportunity to face a new day, new possibilities, new energy. No matter what is happening in the outer world, it is ultimately my choice of how I proceed to move through the day in thoughts and action.
As the world struggles to come back into balance I watch and listen to the various ways people are responding to an unprecedented global experience. We are brought together in our desire to feel comfort and that everything is going to be okay.
Will the changes we have been seeking for decades come to fruition when we come out the other side of this uncharted path?
I don’t know, what do you think? Is it possible that we are all actually learning whatever our individual and global lessons are for us to understand?
Has your perspective changed?
Do you see others differently now?
Will the generosity and the pull to connect with others in deeper ways stop once things are back on track?
Only time will tell, but I do know this. If the changes we intend to create do not take hold, we are bound to continue repeating the same patterns.
What have you learned about yourself during this self-reflective time?
- I have learned I have the power to choose how I handle challenge and if my approach is different from someone else’s that is quite alright.
- I have learned that reaching out to others and finding a common ground can create amazing friendships and opportunities.
- I have learned that staying focused on what is important to me allows for positive outcomes.
- I have learned in times of struggle the potential to empower others is a gift I can give.
The state of our life is a reflection of our state of mind. I have faith that in the bigger picture we have transformed in some way, for some it has been in small increments and for others in big leaps and bounds.
No one really knows what the future holds, but as long as we all continue to keep our hearts strong and strength in numbers, we can conquer whatever comes our way.
May you have joy, peace, and happiness!
Cheers!
Yes, Eileen I think this has taught all of us something important. For myself I realized as people were somewhat polarized or stuck not knowing what to do or think… we began reaching out to one another. I think that’s significant and shows how much we need each other!
My ideas on my own life strategies has become more defined.
Really great article.

We are reaching out and finding there are others that share our passions and also have some fresh perspectives too. I like that you say we can conquer whatever comes our way! Very uplifting Eileen!
