Here I am sitting in a coffee house observing people at from every walk of life. I am looking at the reactions of social interchanges amid the scare of a virus outbreak that is gripping the attention of the world and is changing how we interact. We already have so many fears as human beings this is just adding to the long list we focus on a daily basis.
In my thoughts I constantly focus on what is good and what is my expectation. I expect good all the time and a favorable outcome. My eyes are fixated on the best I can possibly feel. …… Side note…. as I write this someone walked by me coughing out without covering his mouth….. REALLY?! See the fear?…. So much for my favorable outcome. Am I scared of someone coughing? 🙂
There are so many variables to our thoughts and how we process our perceptions. We get hit from so many different directions that we always have to be ready. The only way we can be ready is by having ultimate faith that it is all going to be for the greater good. I am not going to sit here and quote bible scripture, eastern philosophy or any other belief system… what I will say that faith in anything is a determined focus creating a habit that will dictate our daily decisions on autopilot…
We do not have to think about the fears we focus on they just become automatic. We have so much faith we are not good enough, we will automatically avoid certain situations and challenges that might actually be good for us. But because we do not have the correct mindset to accept the new challenge we are so distracted and do not see the opportunity.
Faith plays a major role in our growth. Do you have faith? What is the faith you have? Where is your focus on? Do you focus on others that constantly judge you and set a bar/standard through their comments about you or at you are offensive and hurtful so you start to focus on their lies and bullshit that it causes pain and discomfort?
We have to set aside time to DE-fragment our brain, consciousness and mindset so we can root out all the negative that fills up our minds. We need to wind down with alone time. It does not have to be meditation, just be attentive to your thoughts. A conversation with yourself realizing what thoughts are there and removing them replacing them with something that is more useful, like gratitude.
It all starts with a decision to just be. Be happy. Have mental clarity and see everything differently.
