Just a little note from me:
If you don’t like what you’re experiencing, be open to a different perception of it.
Don’t worry about what that alternative perception might be. Chances are, if you’re not experiencing it already, you won’t be able to think of it, let alone be open to experiencing it.
Trust and patience are important life skills. Ones you only acquire by practicing them. If you don’t like something, notice it. Tell yourself, there’s another way of looking at this that will help me feel better. I’m open to a different perspective. I will not use the past to bear witness to a reality that doesn’t make me feel good. Keep dropping your judgement of whatever has come before this moment. It doesn’t matter. It’s gone. Choose peace for yourself now.
This only works if you’re genuinely open to being wrong about the way you’re currently looking at things. That’s hard when we see such ‘obvious’ injustices in the world. I cannot tell you why these things happen, but I can tell you that there is a way to feel less pain around them. You can argue and justify your upset all day, every day, but as always, I will say: I see you, I hear you, I can empathise, AND, do you still want to feel that way?
Perhaps, if you were able to feel more peaceful and more loving, you might be able to share more peace and love in the world. Maybe that’s how everything starts to get better.
This obviously isn’t the only way. I’m not claiming to have all the answers or even one answer. It’s not a quick fix, but I hope if you are interested in feeling less pain and more love, you might consider it.
The path to peace
