I was observing my own thoughts the other day, deciding how I wanted to use my energy. Was I going to create something beautiful? Was I going to tend to my daily chores? Or was I going to try and second-guess what the outcome of our future is going to be? As I noticed where my thoughts were headed, I realized how much energy I was using to make lists of all the things that I needed to get done before winter sets in. The garden needs attention, I need to remove all the clutter my house has collected in the last 30 years. I am concerned about the future of our children, the education they are receiving. Are they being taught good habits of analytical thinking or are they being indoctrinated by an agenda that doesn’t teach them to think for themselves?
I put aside my thoughts and decided to create something beautiful. My consciousness was completely absorbed by the process and the creation pleased me beyond measure. I then understood that when we use our energy to do something we enjoy, we energize our bodies and souls. When we use our energy to worry about things that we can’t control or change, we deplete our progress in creating a world filled with love, hope, truth, freedom and compassion.
In using my energy to create something that took my whole focus, I added to the beneficial energy on the planet. Using my thoughts to try and change things I had no control over wasted my energy. So, I suggest that if we really want things to change, we must first change our own thoughts and turn them toward the things that fill us with joy. Otherwise, we are just adding to the chaos around us.
I may never get all the clutter removed from my house, but in taking it a little bit at a time, I find treasures I forgot had existed and, sure enough, I was just in the space to create with them.
Right now life is about as uncertain as it can get. The only security you have is your grounded self. Take a deep breath, take your shoes off, walk on Mother Earth and bless the beautiful air we get to breathe. Fill your soul with joy and you can help make this place heaven on earth. Let’s not deplete our energy doing things that drain our joy. Step up for yourself, breathe deeply and see the world becoming perfection. Much love, Dove
