Good news though! Here is something you can do to change the world... nothing big and hugely taxing but here are a couple ideas:
- spread kindness everyday "pay it forward"
- compliment someone on a job well done
- thank someone for going out of their way
- thank someone for being them
- give someone a great big hug from your heart
- hold a door open for someone
- be gracious instead of spiteful
- be courageous
- see pain instead of anger and the opportunity to heal
- pick up litter in your office (even if its not yours!)
- tell someone they look great
- live from a place of community instead of individualism
- be truthful
- live from compassion
... I have been really stressed out lately, besides the normal over-the-top school/work combo I have! I have felt so much pain in my heart from the pain in the world. I have been stressed because I don't know what else I can do to help heal. Then I realized... spreading the word about healing the world.
If you choose to dismiss this note, no worries! If it is not for you, thanks for reading (or not) ... thanks for honouring yourself in what makes sense to you. However, I encourage you to step outside of yourself and see what lies beyond yourself. Money is a necessity, yes! Having clothes and food and a place to live is important, but there are more important things out there too. There are things beyond ourselves that require our attention and care. People, the earth, animals and beyond. Spread the love you have inside yourself to others and watch it grow like a flower.
A burden shared is a burden halved and love shared is love doubled. (funny how that works!)
