Interestingly enought, I have shared in numerous inspiring conversations with people in and out of my inner circle as to the aftershock of what we can now say is a FULL GROWN RECESSION. An oxymoron at best, but let's take a moment to reflect on this description. Historically, have we not seen a resilience in our fellow man when the global economy plummeted to it's deepest depths; the greatest minds, the maddest creative geniuses and the most devoted philathropists soared to their highest heights? Carpe Diem-are the fewest words I can use to captivate the approach we must take in such a challenging hour.
In the name of seizing the moment, this morning, after breakfast, I had the pleasure of reading yet another criticism of Obama's political agenda as to Global Warming and Universal Healthcare via Facebook. After reading this premature, unfounded analysis of our Commander and Chief and Maalika Chopra's Bloodsuckers and The World of Michael Jackson, I reached my tolerance level for displaced negativity in the face of adversity and the words I write now is what came to me in that moment.
How can we expect to address the Global Economic Crisis and America's social ills (or whatever obstacles may be looming in our respective lives) when we continue to point the finger at whomever we have designated to control our.......OWN lives.........our CHILDREN'S lives.........and the lives of our WORLD?!
Allow me to retreat to one of my favorite Ghandi quotes: "Be the change you wish to see in the world." We fail to realize that we hold the power to tailoring our armor in this Divine warfare where the only two things we can truly say we possess is the spirit of Hope and the ability to Change. Isn't that all our administration has asked of us? Finally, we have been called upon to play our role in a Global Awakening......a mind altering experience.......a tribute to our Constitution........a light shining in the darkness......the essence of our Freedom....
A paradigm shift? Take a trip down memory lane with me for a moment. Can you Remember the Time you took on a new role or responsibility? It requires one to view the world or their environment in a different light....from a different angle....or assume a different approach. It is a process of shedding what is old to embrace what is new. Whether you are searching for a new career, contemplating parenthood or starting a charitable organization, there is an Awakening that must take place in preparation for what lies ahead.
What lies ahead is uncertain and more often than not uncertainty can be an overwhelming space. We must take the time to assess what talents, gifts and capabilities make us uniquely indispensible to begin a process of self awareness. As we all know anything to do with Self is an internal journey that inevitably calls upon our Spirits that always leads us to truth.....
May the truth set us free.......
