Take a Stand

The external world is causing us to evaluate our internal value systems. Many will look for what the crowd seems to be deciding and follow it. But now more than ever, it is time for us as individuals to do our own critical thinking and have the courage to take a stand, even if it flies in the face of consensual opinion. The future of humanity depends on it.

Have the courage to be different, if deep down you have convictions you feel are right, but they “go against the flow”.

Those who really know you and if you are a good person, will accept you even when you dare to have a different opinion. Those who don’t know you and see you as “the enemy” because you dared to be different from them, well, in the greater scheme of your life, do they matter?

Thought Power

We tend to be careless with our thoughts, and yet we shouldn’t be. Our thoughts shape who we are and the lives we live. We are literally the products of our thoughts, both as individuals and as a collective.

Certainly right now society is caught in the web of an illness thought form – that basically we are an ill society. The challenge for us is this: How do we get to a place of wellness thinking?

Much of the answer to this, I believe, rests in our willingness to start taking charge of our thoughts, to have a sense of personal responsibility for our health, our own lives, and our well-being. Be self-observant of, and careful with, what is rattling around in your mind.

The Beauty Cure

Would you say that you are cognizant of the beauty around you, day-to-day?

Appreciating the beauty of life is a powerful antidote for the negativity prevalent in society right now. Ugliness can tend to taint everything around it and drag everyone down. You know the saying, “One bad apple spoils the whole bushel.”

Resist the effect of the bad apple. When you persist in seeing the beauty in spite of the negativity, you become an agent of positive change. People around you pick up on this energy, your vibe, and you uplift them too. The world becomes a better place, rippling outward from you.

Dream or Reality?

Do you lucid dream? I do. Lucid dreams feel as real as “real life”. As a kid I had a recurring nightmare. It was terrifying, and each time I lived it, my fear controlled the outcome. Then one night I observed myself in the dream; I realized I was dreaming and did not have to be a victim in it. At that point my fear dissipated and I directed the dream for a different outcome. The nightmare stopped.

Now look around you at what is happening in the world. Be an objective observer. You have the power with your mind to effect the outcome, as long as you do not become a slave to someone else’s narrative about what reality is or “should be”. We can direct our reality, even when it appears that we cannot. This takes focus.

Real Life

Life is about so much more than just surviving. As of late, however, we are increasingly being conditioned to believe that is all that is important.

Personally, my concern is that the longer we drift from our hold on what really living life means, we will forget.

What does life mean to you? Do you take stock of what makes life feel fulfilling? Certainly our dreams, big and small, have taken a real beating this year. We must keep a firm grasp on those and not let them go. Our dreams are what shape our futures. And whatever anyone may tell you to the contrary, you have the right to live your dream.
