What if?
These thoughts come to me and I just can't seem to get away from them. They drive me crazy, they poke at me and keep repeating themselves over and over again. So I write.
My husband and I have been through a continual series of events and experiences, that after each event we are still left wondering,
'What the heck is wrong in this world?' and secondly, 'What is my role and just how do I fit in?'
So today, I decided to do what I do best. Paint. I am one of those artists that slobbers paint on canvas and
calls it Art. I love my designs. I don't ask anyone else to love them, or like them, for that matter; they are personal. My art is one of my venting strategies. Painting allows my mind to add clarity to my thoughts.
What I discovered through today's process, was the awareness that I am living in a world that demands so much, yet seemidly offers so little. What I realize is that this is the human side of life. 'To err is human.' The Spiritual Side to this, is that there is much of offer, much beauty that stands before us.
But what if the only rule that we had to live by was complete honesty. No shades of truth, not white, black, blue or red lies, not manipulation, nor judgmental or perceived, but rather, the truth from within, from the heart. What if that was all that was asked of us. What if, then, we were rewarded according to these truths. Further to this, we were penalized when we were untruthful. As I see it, this would be in exact opposite of how the world is managed today.
On today I had an experience, which moved me towards a powerful lesson. The experience was that I have been surrounded by people that have chosen to lie. The Lesson reflected my emotion. Being Spiritual does not mean that one is never angry or frustrated. I was angry, mostly because I dislike lying. I find it unfair. I have often said that the most difficult to deal with people that are liars because you cannot anticipate their moves, they come out of left field.
I have moved forward from this, first into the lesson and then onto the solution. I have come to a place of understanding and for this, I am truly grateful. Studying psychology, I understand that people lie out of fear and ego. I almost said out of greed, however, if you put greed into context, out pops the truth. Contemplate it. The world is full of this sort of manipulation and we have fallen, hook, line and sinker for it.
So what if we could change this and be rewarded, then, for truthfulness. Corporations could still make money. Rather than saying, 'we need to charge this because...', simply, 'we need to charge this because this is how I value who I am.' and let the people decide based on truth.
With these thoughts on anger, fear and frustration, I then moved towards the Biggest Gift within the experience, and that was the understanding to not beat myself up because of my feelings and emotions. When faced with situations such as this, find the lesson first. In doing so, seek to surround yourself with as much peace, love and light as you possibly can, remembering to be gentle and kind with yourself. It's OK to be angry, so the first lesson and gift is to give yourself a big huge break (and a hug if you can!). This is where truth can be found.
With gentleness of self , heal the hurt within; sending unconditional love and support to You! Know that you are safe, that you are worthy, that you are lovable, loved and loving So Go Within and Embrace the Emotion. The next step is to towards the solution, whole and complete. Move forward thoughtfully, mindfully, with kindness and compassion in your heart and a clear head, with the awareness that you are making clear, conscious, intelligent and informed decisions and choices.
What they do is
not up to you, nor is it a reflection of you. What you do and how you
choose to move into the solution is a reflection of your love for
yourself. Love Yourself.
So on this day, I awoke with a sense of calm, pure beautiful calm; and a feeling of gentleness that exists within this very moment. With that; I pledge to do what I can and not worry about the rest. You can't take it with you, the 'things', only the lessons, and the love, within and around, and of those we've loved and the hearts we've connected with. May today there be Peace within...Begins with a Kind, Beautiful and Loving Spirit.
Find your place of Calm, of Pure Love, find your Honest and Loving connection to the Divine Spirit Within.
