"Isn't it funny how we make rational excuses
for being out of alignment?"
Alaric Hutchinson
Our creativity shines when we master the ability to react to pain or suffering with the castings of ego. We can make excuses, blame others, sink deeper and it is all by choice. If I can remain positive with myself in spite of the virus, the isolation, and challenges of life, a level of peace can be maintained.
Our journey is not meant to reflect a roller coaster ride, but rather a flowing line of moving forward whether we are faced with pleasure or pain. The idea is to calm our ego from taking on extremes in either directions. Remain centered, enjoying or learning from the moment while understanding there is another moment approaching.
We continuously let ourselves off the hook of responsibility by creating drama that only intensifies the immediate situation. It is like adding fuel to the fire. If we can imagine a candle with a steady flame, this is what we can reflect. Yes, a breeze will pass through and the flame will waver, but seldom will it go entirely out ... unless we blow it!
