Holding Balance in Chaos?

We find ourselves in a time when the only thing we seem to have control over is a choice in how we show up. We can either get completely depressed about the future that we seem to be looking at or we can find the Gratitude in the fact that we got to be alive right now. We are in a monumental time when you can be one of the few people who actually work together to change the face of humanity. We are indeed in unprecedented times.

Holding your Balance in Chaos? ~ Resilient people are commonly characterized by an ability to experience both negative and positive emotions even in the most difficult or painful situations. They are capable of mourning losses and enduring limitless frustrations, yet they also find redeeming potential, gratitude and value in most challenges.

As hard as it is most days, I choose to not be fooled, so I do my best to take action to not just believe what is being fed to me by the media. I also do my best to expand my information networks instead of living only in my own comfort zone. I don't just block people because I don't agree with them. That just creates more duality. For me personally, I feel like the more that I am aware of this world of ours, the more I know what’s ahead, the better decisions I can make. I choose eyes wide open especially if educating myself is scary as hell. It’s kind of like I am walking with a flashlight in my hand. A light that shines into the darkness and takes all the fear away. I definitely don’t exist in a world where I only listen to the people that I agree with because if I did that how will I even know how to dismantle or think about anything in a different way. Get Curious and Question Everything!

All I know to do is to come together NOW, show up, stand up and pray like never before. (in whatever way you do that or not) This is only the beginning, yet we must remember that radical change occurs often at the pinnacle of chaos. Those who have the capacity must hold balance stronger than ever and find tremendous compassion and patience with the MANY who will pop in consciousness right on the razors edge. If we are there to help them, then there is a good chance that this could turn out much differently than it looks currently. The answer is on the EDGE between the light and the dark. All teachers, mentors, etc needed NOW! Just watch, stay curious and know that there is Much suffering ahead, yet hold, hold, hold…..
