Living the quarantine life, many of us had more than enough spare time to overthink solutions, rethink behaviors and situations, re-evaluate relationships, revisit ideas, or restart passions, dreams and goals. This way of living that we all, globally, had to go through and many of us still do, wasn't only a lesson and a test of how good of a citizen, neighbor, employee, parent, or friends we are. It was also a lesson of how well we listen, and respect our own selves, and how good we are doing with our own existence. This internalization that we were asked, or better forced to do wasn't easy, and some times might have been unbearable for so many, because actually we had to stop and be more with ourselves. There was nowhere to escape, there were no excuses to make. The voices were loud and clear, no way to ignore them. That was exactly the time to take action. The moment of the biggest mandate stillness, became the most active time of all!
All this energy that has been moving inside all of us, started shifting things in every direction, or maybe the right direction?!Think about it. Think how many things changed, progressed, emerged. Think of the people around you, and how they evolved. How many people took a huge deep inwards journey, so to come on the surface looking for solutions, positivity, progress, ways to understand. Looking for that change...
These low moments that we all felt and went through, believe me they will pay off, already are. It has been like a slap in the face, because although i am against violence, sometimes this "slap" is needed to make us all snap out of our lethargic and scheduled, almost controlled, i will dare to say, lives. It was needed so to bring us back to the reality like we were calming down from a selfish tantrum, you know like the ones that uncontrollable self-centered toddlers usually have.
These unique events are happening for a reason, therefore they have a cycle if we look back in history. They are coming as reminders of our real nature, and our real purpose. There are the results of unimaginable force, an energy, that has been accumulating like lava does, and the time and place to be released has come. The time to bring everything on the surface
Can the Covid19-era, a time in the history that mostly the scientists knew is coming - and tried to warns us, but we resisted the information,- but also the very important moment of civil rights movement, be a new beginning, and awakening, act like a second chance for all of us to do it right this time? Lets ask ourselves:
*What do we really want from our life, at this point of time?
*How can we make a difference?
*How we express the gratitude of being alive and well?
*What chances we are willing to take so to be truly happy?
*Who/What really worth our time and effort?
*Who/what really matters?
*How more can we wait so to become our best selves?
Through times of devastation, injustice, and hardship we can definitely learn a lot for a society.
We all have been given this right moment ,the opportunity to do better. To choose hope, instead of desperation, to choose to show up, instead of turning our head the other way. To learn, listen and take action. To think less selfish and more as a team-players. To embrace, support and acknowledged the similarities, and bridge the differences.
Not everyone though has been ready for all this, or will choose to take this step and walk that bridge that connects the two sides of the river. But it is equally important the actual existence of that bridge. Because this way there will always be an open road to meet eventually...
