My reflection on the past week.

Ok, so this week I have been thinking a lot about all things that I encounter this week. First, am taking two Holistic classes and as an Empath, I had a strong reaction to projections by my teachers. One indicated that see images was a mental illness because no one see things that no one else  should see or hear things that they can’t see. The second incident was when my teacher made a reference to a group of people being on any type of assistance. Therefore, my first thought was to correction his opinion based of either ignorance or just not being educated enough to understand that there are more people receiving assistance then he realizes. And that just because we live in a world where money and power have more value than human life, we pass judgment on something, we as people to not understand. Of course, this was not before an entire group people also reinforced this belief. I not saying that there are not people using the system, but the amount who do is a small percent to the people who actually need the help. It like saying, that all the senior citizens receiving benefits, our handicap children, people, the people on social security or Mom’s just trying to get by, or how about our veteran who have fought for us, what about  all of them? They are not singular.

We as human people seemly past judgments, on thing that we just do not understand in others people, and if we do; we still pass judgment on them. I guess that we become a world that it ok to judge things that we do not understand. I am no exception, but one of things that I do, do is look to understand why things are the way they are. Sometime people tell me their stories and I am find that my understanding their life or position give compassion and empathy for them, because in reality I would not have wanted to experience what they did or still going through.

As for my teacher statement about see things is a mental illness, well maybe they’re the one who is mentally ill, because I know that I see, hear, feel , believe in things they would even image. You know most people believe in a god or angel or some Universal being. We pray to it, we ask many things of someone that we can even see. We know and hope that someone or something is watching over us, but do we really know. I know because I had my fair share of challenge’s living in a world that I do not understand or that understands me. Clearly, for us to become better people we really need to take a good look in the mirror and say have I pass judgment on someone that I myself have felt from another person. Am I so prefect that I do not have the understanding within me to see another person as me?

Most of us were born not really understanding what our life would be or become and were it would take us. As I was writing this, it came to mind that Robin Williams was a man who made us laugh and be silly. Many people felt his depart from this world, why is it that One man did this to us, what if we all took the time to be more kind, silly and a better person to brighten our world verses continuing tearing people down for being people.

So as I, reflect on my week and that the many people I encountered this week, whether on the bus, train, store, at College we could just open our hearts and say you know I am glad to alive. And stop passing judgments on things that we as people are not even willing to take the time to understand in another person.

Finding Choices

Finding choices when there does seem to be any:

Life is choice
Each day is choice
Each breath is choice
Moving throughout the day is choice
Taking care of Yourself is a choice
Honoring Yourself is choice
Believing that there is a choice is a choice
Creating a Choice
See the beauty in a choice
See the choice through to an end is a choice
Choice involve make better decisions for yourself and if that means
ending a relationship, leaving a job, taking a new job, beginning a new relationship with someone else
Living, death and rebirth are all choices
The seasons changing is a choice, to watch the growth and birth of each season is a choice
What choice will you make today?
Life is choices each and every day.
Be happy, be sad or living in the moment is a choice.
