Change of Focus

 

It is easy, too easy to look at what is wrong with the world, and only see the negatives of life … but recently without any specific trigger I have chosen to focus on what is good (while being aware of the flip side) – many people from all works of life, are going about making the world a little better through simple acts of kindness … as with all of us we are on a journey … hopefully from Childhood through an unconscious states to an awakening of sorts and being conscious … of the beauty that is in the world and humanity …

The reason I considered this .. if we look at the things that are wrong, they are usually quite huge (Organisationally based) … however if we chose to focus on the good, side we can actually do something … so that works for me.

This whole change came at the right time for me … from a good friend, a spiritual person of long standing 🙂 Whilst there are huge problems in the world, coming from those in power, basically being unconscious I am finding again that focusing on the negative adds to my stress levels rather than making me creative, peaceful and loving … so I will concern myself with things I can contribute to … not to concern myself with things that I cannot have a direct input into – or put a lot of energy into.  Am I still concerned, about the things that are wrong, why Yes of course … Re-occupied with what is wrong? No, not any more – I am going to take my view of living life and apply it to things and circumstances outside of things where I can actually have an effect on …. perhaps we should simply say our prayers, along the lines of “May my life be of benefit to all beings, all life” – if you try to live by that simple thought, .  That alone, takes so much responsibility to guide our right thoughts and actions.
