Success & Inspiration

There is so much going on in our country and in the world at large at this time.  I have had several discussions with people about why things are as they are.  One of the things we’ve discovered is the lack of critical thinking that affects many.  Because if we were in touch with that way of looking at things we would find workable solutions to issues plaguing us.
 
Critical thinking demands that you not accept someone else’s viewpoint without exploring it from different angles.  How does it fit with the facts when you explore them?  How has it proven itself over time?  And, lastly, how does it really feel to you?  The last aspect because when we hear “truth” we can actually feel it in our body.  When we hear something that is not true we can also feel that that in our body. 
                                                                       
This brings in another point – we have gotten disconnected from that no-fail system we have inside us.  I think one of the reasons for this is that it takes quiet time to get in touch with our inner knowing.  Our culture doesn’t particularly support our being in that space.  But at the same time, there is also a move toward getting back in touch with that part of ourselves as witnessed by the huge popularity of yoga.  While it gets people in great shape it does it through a series of meditative postures.  It allows practitioners to get in touch with the deeper part of themselves.  In my view, there is an unconscious and maybe sometimes, conscious, understanding that we need to be back in touch with that aspect of ourselves since it can never lie. 
 
So, solution – one possibility would be to take time each day to be quiet.  Meditate or just sit looking out in nature, not thinking about anything.  Not trying to come to any conclusions but to just be still and connected to self.  Sounds very simple, and it is, but it does work.  In fact, a lot of the solutions we are looking for are extremely simple.  However it is a really human thing to make things as complex as possible.  Building on what is and adding to it instead of coming at things from a different angle. We are a very interesting species.  But, we can still learn to do things better.  There are many, many people who are doing that.  They are the ones leading the way.  And, they are everywhere. We might have to explore a bit to find them but the list is endless.

All of that should give us great hope for our future.  It’s worth the time it takes to search online or even look through Netflix to find those changing our world for the better.  They are in the millions and they are teachers for us. They are in every aspect of living.  The thing they have in common is consciousness and living in a way that “feels” absolutely right for them.  They are not part of the herd.  They are individuals who, because they think for themselves, make life better for everyone.  They prove that, opposite from what we have been taught, when we follow our own path we give hope, courage and inspiration to others.

It's your choice.  You can have a life that feels good and is full of adventure or you can follow the herd. It’s up to you.
My best to you,
