Wednesday, July 20, 2016: The energy of yesterday's Capricorn New Moon lingers and there's some serious and sad vibes in the atmosphere.
I got an email from a friend this morning that said... "Our sympathy goes out to all of us including our dearest children, grandchildren, family and friends". I believe this echoes what most of America (and the world) is feeling. A serious sadness that's expressed in varying degrees of melancholy, gloom, grief, depression and even anger.
Yet, for the next couple of days you're ability to emotionally detach combined with so much seriousness might be just what's needed to discipline yourself, establish parameters, channel your energy and wax philosophical.
It's just true that when we're happy and enjoying life we don't often ask why... it's only when we feel the most cut off and hemmed in that we look for answers to what's happening and attempt to gain insight. So you can see that what you're feeling is not all bad because detaching a bit from the sadness, sorrow and challenging times can lead you to look for... to wonder and wander... to look for solutions and to ask the Universe for answers.
There's a famous expression that I'm sure you've heard... "When the going gets tough, the tough get going"... so... How tough are you?
Today's Quote
"When the going gets tough may I resist my first impulse to wade in, fix, explain, resolve, and restore. May I sit down instead.
When the going gets tough may I be quiet. May I steep for a while in stillness.
When the going gets tough may I have faith that things are unfolding as they are meant to. May I remember that my life is what it is, not what I ask for. May I find the strength to bear it, the grace to accept it, the faith to embrace it.
When the going gets tough may I practice with what I'm given, rather than wish for something else. When the going gets tough may I assume nothing. May I not take it personally. May I opt for trust over doubt, compassion over suspicion, vulnerability over vengeance.
When the going gets tough may I open my heart before I open my mouth.
When the going gets tough may I be the first to apologize. May I leave it at that. May I bend with all my being toward forgiveness.
When the going gets tough may I look for a door to step through rather than a wall to hide behind.
When the going gets tough may I turn my gaze up to the sky above my head, rather than down to the mess at my feet. May I count my blessings.
When the going gets tough may I pause, reach out a hand, and make the way easier for someone else. When the going gets tough may I remember that I'm not alone. May I be kind.
When the going gets tough may I choose love over fear. Every time."
