Showing not telling

It’s always more inspiring and likely to change others if we are the example, if we are ‘pro’ something, if we show an alternative, if we lead by doing rather than shouting down something different.

Too often those who seek change are ‘anti’ what they do not like, but show no alternative and do not always lead, they simply are negative about someone else’s idea, view, plan, system…negativity does not inspire someone with a different view to change, they simply react negatively. No one likes to be told by another that their view is wrong. It does not provoke a positive reaction.

The world is always a reflection of our transmissions, what we put out is what returns, our signal attracts the same.

Positive examples send out positive vibes and encourage people to consider something different, without feeling like they were being attacked for their views.

Right and wrong are irrelevant, after all, opinions are just that, an opinion, a temporary mental form, and as there is no book of ‘what’s right’, we can only hope to influence change, not tell others that they are in the wrong.

Showing not telling.

Denying what is

Accepting what is sounds easy, but we are conditioned to want a different outcome to anything we do not like.

Our ego does not want to see or hear anything that doesn’t fit the story or if it feels like we are to blame.

The culture of blaming comes from the individual and collective egos and there wish not to be at fault.

If we can remove our ego from the situation, not look for blame, if we can silence our mind and its negative thoughts, then we can find accepting what has happened, and realising that what is, is always what is. It has already happened and wanting a different moment is, of course, completely futile.

Once we can get to the stage of accepting that everything that has occurred, has occurred, and we can not alter it, then we can focus on now and moving on, letting go and looking at how to deal with the reality of now.

Resisting creates fear that then leads to other emotions, pain and suffering. Inner peace is never achievable all the time we deny this present moment.

Letting go brings peace within and then we react from our true essence to things, from our soul, rather than from the mind, its ego and fears. We avoid becoming our emotions and reactions.

Everything is, as it is always, move on and enjoy now with peace within.
