All too often, we focus on and prepare for all of the BAD and SCARY possible things that could potentially be on the horizon for us.
.
What kind of an experience are you going to have if you arrive just to scope out the emergency exit? What type of a precedent are you setting for yourself and for this experience?
.
There are so very many things you cannot control. You cannot control the “bad” and “scary” situations you’re devoting so much anxious energy towards. You’ve begun to let something that is not real and not true control YOU.
.
When you shift your focus, and “spend” your energy on building yourself up, your home up, your happiness up, your connectedness up, your community up- you will have all you need to weather any storm, and the support & strength you need to pick up any of the pieces that may have been affected.
.
Meanwhile, your neighbors who have hung their heads in anxiety, stress, and anticipation of the negative things coming in their life do not have the same power to withstand any impact, any change, or to have the company present to assist them.
.
Let your roots be strong, deep, and true. Expand your energy upwards as you gather the positive from each scenario, keep your head high, and move through with anticipation of the GOOD that is always around us, within us, and WILL always be ahead.

It will be dark when your eyes are closed, and much brighter when they are open ❤️
