Thoughtful Appreciation Show Notes
These are times of many trials for each of us. The chaos and instability of worldwide leadership are causing each of us to dive deeper within our own traumas without any warning.
Everyone is being challenged in some emotional way without warning. We have been put on the edge of an abyss that appears not to have a bottom, where we are asked to fly without ever having flown before.
Yet some moments flash through us where we can feel more powerful than ever before. As if we are achieving a level of consciousness hidden long ago in our evolutionary journey as humans.
The flying is not physical, nor is a depth of darkness anything to fear. We have been here many times before and had to make choices without any external assistance or guidance.
We are now being guided and adapting to trusting our deep inner self that lives within our hearts and is now rising to bring forth an inner Spring season where we grow through the darkness and blossom.
Yes, I’m an optimist and seek beyond my sadness and suffering because I have witnessed it within myself in this lifetime. However, it takes commitment and moving through the obstacles without fear.
“The two hardest tests on the spiritual road are the patience to wait for the right moment and the courage not to be disappointed with what we encounter.”
― Paulo Coelho, Veronika Decides to Die
I have learned how little we truly need to live in balance with the world around us. And when we do, everything begins to move in synchronicity with our true peaceful nature.
It doesn’t mean that we will not have moments of despair or fear; it means we will be able to move through them and appreciate them for the wisdom we have gained from them.
I often think of how mesmerized we became in our technical wizardry yet lost our kindness and compassion through the violence portrayed in front of us on that tiny little screen.
We have been programmed to suspect each other and believe some authority system will somehow save us from being victims of generational trauma we have experienced for many centuries.
“The problem that we have with a victim mentality is that we forget to see the blessings of the day. Because of this, our spirit is poisoned instead of nourished.”
― Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience
As we begin to awaken from our inner and collective darkness, we slowly embrace Thoughtful appreciation as the Light starts to rise within us. Gratitude creates the encouragement to open our hearts and release more of what is within us by lineage, not personal action. We then clear away thousands of years of darkness that has been glorified by the domination of a male society that is insecure in its worthiness and chooses egoic competition over peaceful leadership.
“In societies where men are truly confident of their own worth, women are not merely tolerated but valued.”
(From a speech read on video on August 31, 1995, before the NGO Forum on Women, Beijing, China).”
― Aung San Suu Kyi
