Embrace The Motions
Life comes in the form of waves. Even in stillness, there is energy that accumulates in ways that prepare us all for what is next. By paying attention to the patterns around us, we can use context clues and inferences that help hypothesize what to anticipate. While we cannot guarantee what the future holds, it should not take away from the present moment.
Go At Your Own Pace
Worries are a result of factors we feel are not within our control. Talking through our concerns with trusted confidants helps us gain clarity when our vision is clouded. Objectivity keeps us grounded, which is why it helps to hear from individuals who offer fresh perspectives to the table. Results tend to speed up with the refreshing taste of authentic conversations. They are served best in spaces where all parties feel safe and removed from judgment.
The main point of consideration is to recognize that everyone has internalized biases. This applies to therapists, historians, professors, and any other leader with professional accolades to their name. Recognizing our own internal bias can bring on quite the adventure, and that is part of the beautiful ride ahead of us. Titles and accomplishments hold no weight against the forces of nature. The plan has always been for you to fall deeply in love with yourself and the world around you.
If you have felt like you weren’t on the right track, I am here to assure you that you are. It took me some time to be able to reflect back on how everything is always working for us, not against us. We are in this boat together, and I am happy to share it with you.
Nature Always Takes It’s Course
Every one of us is created to go with the wind, feel the tides of the ocean, sow seeds, and reap the rewards of our earnest efforts while letting the fire in our hearts drive us in a direction we feel is right. Only you know what means to you. Take your time to vet who you would want to work with, especially in a setting designed to focus on your growth. Your mentors should emulate characteristics that you appreciate having around, no matter which direction the tides may turn.
Challenging the elements of nature tends to lead us into a state of confusion and conflict. It does not have to be that way. The truth sets us free and we are lucky to have the tools and resources to express ourselves. Freedom amongst American civilians continues to be the picture-perfect standard of what many people crave more of. Meanwhile, the United States has been dealing with our own fair share of obstacles we have yet to overcome. It seems to get lost upon us all how interconnected we are. What happens overseas and across countries eventually impacts us all.
Across state and county lines, the media has honed in on how divided we can be. Together, we can change the script and shift our attention towards our commonalities.
Deep Breath In, But Not For Too Long
Beauty lies in between defined lines. Since everyone has their own set of wants and needs, boundaries could always use a bit more defining. When we practice active listening and see the world beyond what meets the surface, we are met with endless possibilities. Complexity is compelling, but at what point does enough become enough? Too many lives have been lost, families have been met with tragedies, and loved ones have been neglected. For anything to change for the better, we need to be willing to acknowledge what is happening.
Perception makes all the difference. We are created uniquely and simultaneously created as equals. Uncoincidentally, self-care and community care become most effective when they coexist. Everyone has their own ratio preference of the ways they spend their time and that changes at different points in time for all. Sometimes, external factors can become within arm’s reach and we are presented with options to take control of situations.
Live Like You Have Never Lived Before
Ideas are there for us to think about what we want to do with them. At some point, we cannot bear to ignore what could be at stake if we wait for “the golden opportunity.” The sooner we apply ourselves to what has been calling our name, the more we can rest easily once it is time to wrap up a day’s worth of work. Our consciousness becomes lighter and clearer after we take accountability. Playing the blame game gets tiring for everyone involved. The weak prey off of disconnection as it dims the light on the bad apple effect.
We are quenched for transparency; there is nothing in the world quite like it. Drink up because the next chapter is going to be a lot more exciting with the community we have been building all along. Take action by learning more about the Kickstarter video-series project that is geared towards taking a step closer towards our untapped potential.
Above you will find a YouTube video outlining the details of the all-or-nothing Kickstarter campaign Ms.Frenkel created. The project aims to raise $20,000 by October 31, 2024.
