Stop Fighting
I do NOT believe people are bad. I believe we are all the same.
My meditation practice allows me to know this to be true. The deeper I go into my own consciousness the Happier I feel. This tells me that deep down inside, each and every one of us there is only GOOD.
We all have thoughts and feelings that can be labeled as “good” or “bad”. We can not control our thoughts or our feelings. We CAN control how we act in response to those thoughts and feelings.
I believe that when we are unaware, we tend to react, which wouldn’t be so bad if in the past our automatic responses were beneficial to us and others. Unfortunately, most of us don’t even know why we react.
Now, I take some time before I ACT and this works for me.
When I ACT, rather than react, I am using my awareness to make a conscious effort to see all of the consequences of every possible Action.
My goals and my intentions are to consistently choose Actions that benefit most and hopefully all, without hurting anyone in the process.
With practice my “reactions” will always be that choice.
My meditation practice gives me the ability to be more aware and to choose better ways to act!
