I’ve come to learn many things in my path this last year, many hard lessons. As some of you know, it’s been quite a life shift, and it’s been less than smooth, and despite recent developments hasn’t gotten easier. In some ways it’s gotten more difficult - and on to the lessons.
Life is short, if you’re unhappy with your circumstances then it’s within you to take control of your life and make the necessary changes. You cannot control others - ever - all you can control is your reaction to others. Be good to each other. Always!
Life is an experience, choose to frame it in a positive light. It’s so easy to fall into victim-frame narratives, or negative experience framing. I’ve chosen a path of calm, compassionate, positive living that comes from a grounded place of peace. Two people could share the same experience and one be miserable, the other ecstatic…framing is a powerful place to shift your experience on a daily basis. Not delusional framing, life is hard and we all stumble, but positive framing plays a big part in your daily experience. You’re not always right, and that’s ok, but if you’re always compassionate, discerning, and open your experiences start to shift!
Love is the answer. Honestly! Love yourself. Loving yourself is the baseline to open your eyes, heart and mind. It’s easy to lash out at others from a place of hurt that plants seeds of negativity and sorrow. I’ve learned that truly loving yourself is the baseline of existence.
I believe ego is the source of almost all negativity in the world. Ego should be the barometer or compass in your world, not the driving force. Ego can quickly become the moat and fortress walls that close your world from which you wage wars until the drawbridge to your heart is closed with bricks to shelter the ego, instead of opening your heart and soul to collaborative and expansive engagements that open your world to the multitude of pathways and possibilities.
Lastly (for now) is the capacity to carry two truths at one time. You can believe something so fully, that it is a core truth. Simultaneously someone else can believe something apart and separate from your truth and that’s ok.
Life is good. Love yourself.
