Tug of War.

"I observe all without judgment, not labeling anything good or bad." ~ John Randolph Price | The Success Book

I read this quote today, and it really hit home.

I have been looking at eternal circumstances and calling them bad. Believing things are wrong and need to be fixed. And maybe this is true, and maybe it's not.

When I read that simple statement of surrender, this tells me I can stop fighting the world and trying to correct it.

Intellectually I understand the power of surrendering my ego's needs to be right and justified, but my ego is so caught up in the drama of the world. I find myself being able to walk away and let it go. Then something will happen that's either triggering frustration or elation, and I go out on social media and react.

I also know I can give myself grace for being human and going through all of my emotions, and there's nothing wrong with expressing myself.

It's like I'm in a tug of war within myself. On one end, I want to shout and shake others up to the injustices, and on the other end, I know I need to focus on creating, learning, and teaching.

I do see them in a similar fashion, and I know that's why I can fluctuate between the two. They relate in the sense that if I highlight the injustice, hopefully, people will reconsider participating in unjust social behavior. And in hopes that it helps them question the inconsistencies, hypocrisy, and social approval. But, on the other hand, if I'm able to help crack the illusions of "moral codes," then I see that as being of service to others.

I also get to help others who see the same things and help them not feel alone in this life-changing moment. I get to lead by example of speaking up when it's not convenient or popular—helping others see that we have rights and freedoms. We just need to not be afraid to exercise our rights.

And then there's the part of me that gets to the core of all of it with the help of my Inner Being and Re-Member these Truths:

• God is ALL THERE IS.
• God does not judge. People do.
• God is LOVE. UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.
• We are God's children. ALL OF US.
• There is no place where God is not.
• God is the All of the All and cannot go against Itself. Therefore there is no good or bad. Just IS.

Yep, that feels good and right. I'll do my best to hold onto these Truths. I hope you go along with me!

With lots of LOVE,
Teresa
