The One thing In Life You Can Control

The news is bad, and you don't know what to do.

You feel sad, mad, afraid. And it's getting to you.

Then the darkness is winning. Darkness wants to get into your heart and mind. It wants you to be afraid. It wants you to live there.

Stop. Stop and remember how you feel is up to you. Your attitude, which is a combination of your thoughts and feelings, that is what you can control. And in this age of thought control, you must come back to get in charge of your thoughts and feelings.

Each one of us has a destiny.  And free-will. There are certain events you cannot avoid in your life. Some ups and downs that will happen to you that are not your fault. Your job is to learn from them. This is where free-will comes in. Because you choose your attitude. You can continue to grow because of your ups and downs, instead of being a victim to them.

It is the same with world events that seem out of your control, out of everyone's control...or so it seems. There is something you can do, and it begins inside you.

Take five minutes right now to breathe. Just breathe.

Let go of the stress. Let go of the worry.

Breath in one nostil, plugging the other one, then switch the nostril you are plugging and breath out the other. This helps to clear a lot of unwanted emotions.

Step outside. Breathe deep.

Lay on the ground.

Listen to the birds.

Get back in your body.

And find a little bit of joy. Just a glimmer someplace around you.

Maybe you can hear a bird's song. Or see a blue sky overhead. Listen for the sound of children laughing.

Find something good. And milk it for all it's worth...and it is worth a lot. Keep looking for the good.

Let your heart shift back to the light. Then share it. Shine it. Remember it as your Truth.

There is something we can do. Come back to that positive feeling space, and send a little love out into the world.
