Worry vs Faith

So many people these days worry about so many things – family, money, health, career – and especially the political realm and our world in general – war, corruption, tyranny/submission, and on it goes.

I know better than to worry. I know that worry is basically focusing on what I fear/don’t want. I also know that focusing on what I don’t want is a way of giving energy to things I can do nothing about or what I feel desperate to control. Bottom line – worry is a negative prayer, leaving me powerless, morefearful, imprisoned by my own mind.

Remedy – Change your focus/prayers/energy to that which matters to you in your heart of hearts … imagining my health/family/career/world the way I want – essentially praying for my heart’s passion. As soon as I get physically tight/pressured/worried – I change my vision to that which most matters to me.

For years, I’ve had a vision of the world becoming awake to love, honor, respect all everything (includes boundaries/Reality) – a world worth passing on to my children and my children’s children. I am now a grandmother. I still have that same vision – even though the world is not currently the way I envisioned it 40 years ago, when my daughter was 9. However, I refuse to contribute to the negativity in the world by envisioning all the horrible things that are wrong and what I have to do to make it all better. And when I forget or am low in resilience, I change my focus to my physical well being, and to that of my family and the world. Regardless of what’s “out there” (negativity, resentment, world war), I remain faithful (for the most part – I am “human”) to envision that which I want — for myself, my family, the world. That’s my part in our collective evolution.
