To Act Or Not To Act

Action delivers, inaction delays.

How often do you find yourself wondering about how a choice or decision will pan out in the future?

Quick hit. You won’t know.

Quick hit number two. If you don’t choose or decide, you won’t know.

You can learn through action. It’s inaction that delays any possible lessons. The lessons may not be preferable or even enjoyable, but still, a lesson.

Authenticity

We often take cues from others when they are actually judgments from others. We often listen to comfort instead lean into uncertainty. We forget ourselves when we only remember the past.

Preferences

We often force our beliefs and desires into the present moment. As a result, we miss the beauty of the moment, the potential in the moment, the newness of the moment.

Pain Is Not The Main Part

Pain is part of it. It’s not all of it. It’s not the main part of it. It’s how we bring awareness and action to it that influences [if] how we can move through it, learn from it, and heal.

Missed Opportunity

Write Your Own Message

Forever looking for a sign. Seeing a sign and still not making change or taking action. Always reading and reasoning without doing and learning. It’s time!

Hiding Is Denying

Your truth may scare you. It also may be judged by others. Your truth can also open you up to abundance. It can attract people into your life who support and celebrate you. Your truth is worthy of the light.

Differences And Learning

You can build walls of fear to hold out what you don’t understand or agree with. Or your can open the window to your soul, the door to you heart and listen, let in, and learn.

To and With

We’ve mastered talking about and posting about others. Could you imagine speaking with and interacting with people we don’t understand?

We typically don’t understand others for only one reason - our experiences are different.

That’s right. We each experience life differently. Those experiences will then inform and mold our beliefs. Those beliefs then become safety, security, and comfort to which we cling. Let that land.

When you take issue with someone else, it is not the other person who is causing you to feel tension or negativity or hostility but rather, you are actually struggling to navigate why their beliefs are not yours. That’s simple. Their beliefs are not yours because their experiences are not yours.

Once again, allow that to land.

When we fight and argue about which beliefs are right, we are literally dismissing the experiences that have informed those beliefs. In essence we are dismissing the person’s entire existence.

This is why I feel less conversations about each other and more conversations with each other can benefit all of us. Conversations are the gateway to understanding and acceptance. We can disagree and still accept each other. But that will never happen if we first don’t give each other an opportunity to learn and understand each other.

Much love,
Michael

Perfect

We are fallible. We do make mistakes. We screw up. We fail. We trip. We fall. And guess what? All of that makes us human. Accepting imperfection and learning from it is how we grow, heal, and love.

Your Ego & Your Heart

Survival mode. Protecting yourself. Setting boundaries. Avoiding risk. Being safe. Choosing security. Each is grounded in what you already know. But what about what you don’t know? Allow your curiosity to explore. Try new things. Ask questions. Be a learner. Lead with an open heart.
