“Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.”
Nietzsche
Right now, monsters are celebrating the monstrous things they are doing. Do not become them. You can not slay monsters by becoming one. Be kind.
People are out of their minds right now — including you. Be patient with their weirdness. Be gentle with their rage. Let your innate kindness be your guide.
Share the love and warmth you’ve stored inside. Be kind.
Some days, you just have to hold on. Your light may feel dim right now, but it will grow. You will feel better. Hold on. Be kind to you
What do these upset people want? They want you to listen, to share in their overwhelming, unbearable grief. They need your kindness, your compassion, and your empathy. Grief shared is grief diminished. Listen. Care. Be kind.
As we move into Fall, what are you ready to let go of? Maybe there’s long held grudge ready to be set down. Maybe it’s some mistake you’re ready to forgive yourself or someone else for. Maybe it’s a long held belief or a dour friend or… Be kind to you. Let it go.
Want to increase the joyous flowering in your internal field? Be kind. You’ll riotously bloom.
You can only fix what you can control.
There is so much going on in the world right now. It’s time to get back to the very basics — you can only do something about what you can control. If you are not in control of that, push it out of your mind. Focus only on what you can control.
