“When you want only love, you will see nothing else.” ~ A Course in Miracles
“Evil has its hour but God has his day” ~ Volodymyr Zelenskyy from his Easter message
We humans have a choice. As Einstein said, we can see the universe as a hostile place, or we can see it as a friendly place. For some reason for millennia we have chosen to see the world as a dangerous place to live. That’s obvious if you have studied any history at all. But … what if all the above quotes were true? What if we can change our minds and look for the good, the beautiful, the love, and caring that is all around us?
This is Friday as I write this post and today an Easter message of Volodymyr Zelenskyy to his people surfaced in my YouTube feed. I caught a glimpse of it as I was switching pages to my meditation page and had to watch it. I was weeping by the end of it not only because of his message of hope, but his determination to lead his people to peace. I include it here at the end of this post in case you want to watch too. One of the things he says in the video is exactly what Wayne Dyer’s quote above says. We can choose to look for the dangerous, inhumane things going on around us and convince ourselves that’s all there is. Life sucks and then you die. Or, we can choose to look for beauty in all its forms, and believe that life is good no matter what happens because there is always something to learn and something to rejoice about. I believe he is right. The more I rejoice, the happier I am.
This is what I’ve learned in my 72 years, I am in control of what I think, feel, and see in the world. I know. That’s contrary to what we’re taught most of the time. But it’s true. My life is so much happier now that I actively seek out inspiring messages from the Universe. And as for the seemingly evil that’s happening in the world, I try to look at what I can learn from those people and events. They help me examine and refine what I want out of life and how I would like us all to interact with each other. I see a world in which we all love and honor each other.
That’s all I have for your consideration today. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
