I’ve been busy trying to lose myself lately. To lose my self imposed labels of who I am and what I’m capable of. To lose my anger. To not let petty annoyances bother me so much. To turn it all over to God. To let things pass as they come. And to get a better understanding of that part of me, that part within all of us, really – that knows no labels. The part that watches what we do, but is not the mind or the body. The seat of our souls is that timeless place within that knows only peace and love. I need to spend more time there, getting to know who I am without any labels. Because when you’re really in touch with your source, it affects everything you do. No matter what happens, that space remains calm and loving. And it seems like every day, we as humans are forgetting to even seek that for ourselves. Labels are killing us from within. Black/white. Liberal/conservative. Gay/straight. All the different religions we can identify with. And on and on… and we get so caught up with labels and how this one is good, that one is bad – we’re forgetting it doesn’t mean anything unless we know ourselves first. Unless we know exactly who we really are, which is none of that. That isn’t God. That isn’t who you are. Your politics, your religion – man made. It’s all in your mind. Souls are all the same color, no matter what the packaging is on the outside of the body or the sexual preferences of those within. If you think you hate someone because of any of this, that isn’t God talking at all. That isn’t the voice of your soul. That is something you created for yourself. Hatred is man made. And we certainly have enough of that to go around these days. So, I’m doing my best to lose my labels, to know my source, and to go into everything I do trying to make things better for others in some way. To say that nice thought I had. To make someone smile. To help another person believe in themselves. To raise the awareness of everyone I meet in any situation so I leave it better than I found it. And, of course – to walk away from situations and people that aren’t in line with those ideals. They have their own paths to follow. I need to be surrounded by people who want to know love and peace and are willing to dig deep to get it. To fight for it as well. As humans, we tend to want to lash out more than anything else when we feel see an injustice. Maybe now more than ever. But let’s not forget that peace is hopefully what we all seek. We want more love, more peace, more understanding and kindness, right? Don’t we all want that? I would hope so. So why do we spend so much time being angry? I can’t do it anymore. I have to learn to smile more. To not get so angry all the time. To know what it’s like to live my life knowing the world was better for having me in it. I’ll never perfect this, either. It’s basically impossible to do. But I can do my best, anyway. Step one is to be conscious and aware. Then let my soul guide me from there. And look at every interaction I have as a chance to give. And give 100% always. Keep passion in every moment. Really know the timeless watcher behind the thoughts. Because when you live from there, everyone benefits.
