The world is hurting right now and it is calling for us to come together for the greater good. There is a lot of suffering, but massive amounts of powerful energy out there fighting. Whether it is a community coming together to provide for each other, workers risking their own safety to serve others, an online meditation group created to help people find silence and peace, friends checking on each other or groups finding new ways to connect virtually. It is a beautiful display of coming together to support one another. . In situations like this many of us will ebb/flow through the emotions of our daily circumstances. At times it will be necessary to draw into ourselves and pull away from the larger picture. This does not make us selfish or uncaring, but instead this is more an exercise in self preservation. Practicing self care is just as important as it is to care for each other. Truthfully it is much harder for us to take care of others in our lives if we neglect time and attention spent on ourselves.
In a world full of so much uncertainty we know one thing for certain; we will come out the other side forever changed. There will be a lot of healing needed and the lessons of these days, weeks and months will be necessary in moving forward. Take this time to do things like practicing self care, being patient and empathetic with those around you, you never know what battles they are fighting, and find the positive out there, I promise there is A LOT.The true beauty in life isn't found among the times we cruise along without bumps. No, it is the challenges that cause us to grow, think beyond ourselves and reach out for that which is greater than ourselves. Look for the opportunities to come together, grow and energize the world. We will make it through this, but we need each other to get there.
Let's join hands, figuratively of course, and walk through this. We will need to pick up those that may stumble or fall, some of us will be stronger some days and other days we will need others to help us take that next step. Together we will make it. Sending much love to the world as we all we face this together!
