Facing uncertainty when you “think“ you’re alone feeds our fear and greed. When we can surrender the illusion of being alone, of not being supported, not being loved… we can open and allow grace. I have found it helpful to review all those times in my life when this body should’ve been ended had it not been for grace given. With awareness to the power and gift of grace I’m fortified to meet the moment with a whole heart, with diminished fear and a sense of satisfaction that feeds joy. With awareness to the direct experience of grace and the opportunity to participate in this precious birth, the quality of life improves and our natural tendency to complain and fuel dissatisfaction dissipates.
Given this precious birth, it’s our responsibility to show up, pay attention and take on the difficult task of being our best. We can get lost in our desire “to have“, we can fail to meet the situation at our best when we lack awareness to the harm we may cause. This is why it’s so important to balance “have“, “do“ and “be“. With awareness practice we can find our grounding and carry an upright posture, knowing we’re giving our whole attention to the moment as we stretch further and further into our best. We can be distracted by those who would put us to sleep to the core of our being. There are those who would justify inflicting violence on others so that they could achieve more wealth and power. It’s only when we recognize the truth that we are each other, that our work is that of stewardship and compassion, that we can touch that space of showing up with full attention, being our best. Finally, it’s important to hold self compassion as we often miss the mark. We have to rest our foolish pride, knowing we don’t control the results.
