You would ask, How, can the world be perfect with so much suffering? This is a very valid question. A question I asked most of my life along with why am I here? It took me to this moment to find the answer to these questions, and believe me I was surprised. I believed I was put here on the earth to save everybody. The problem was that I couldn’t even save myself much less the world. I wasn’t wrong in my belief. The only error was in the actual meaning of what it means to save the world. Let’s go to the beginning. I was a bright happy child full of life. I was curious about the world and everything I saw around me. I wanted to explore and do everything. I have four older siblings, and they seemed to be living the adventurous lives I wanted to live. When you are 6 years old, anything new is an adventure just as it should be. The whole world is new, shiny, and filled with excitement. As a child, I believed in just about everything I was told. I mean everyone has been alive longer than I had so, they must know the truth. Right? Yes or no? As it turned out they can only know the truth they are capable of seeing in each moment. This is how it is for all of us. Truth is not concrete, it is malleable. What does this mean? It means truth depends on where you are standing in the moment. Everyone may be seeing the same thing but we are interpreting this same thing differently. I was in Cortona Italy recently, and a huge thunderstorm came over the villa we were staying in. I loved thunderstorms. It was one of the highlights of my trip. My fiance, on the other hand, did not hold the same enthusiasm for the storm as I did. I wanted to run out into the heavy rain and dance with the storm. My fiance was having no part of that. That wasn't his idea of a great time. But it was a wonderful idea for me. You may say this is simply a perceptional thing, This is not true. The reality is that there are thousands of people whose homes have been destroyed by powerful thunderstorms and people that have been killed every year. So this isn't just a perception but very real. But there on the other hand there are many like myself that love thunderstorms and feel no fear and will never come to any harm by playing in them. So that must be the truth? Right? Or is it both? It depends on where each of us is standing at any given moment. Can you see this? The real truth is that all of us get to choose how we are going to view every event in every moment. Will I decide it was a good storm? Or will I decide it was a bad storm? We all get this option every day, and here is a secret.
Our ability to choose is our greatest superpower.
And when you fully understand this, then freedom is right in your hands. There is a whole Universe of understanding to be discovered. I would love to share all that I have found. Join me on this journey of discovery and learn to choose a life of thriving. It really is your choice and we all get to have this option.
Come Dream with me.
