Find Ways

So much is deliberately being confused, blurred. Two or more diametrically opposed “truths” are propounded. Spawned. Spewn. Repeated incessantly.

Take a deep breath. Clear your mind of clutter and garbage. Of illusions, delusions. Of belief in actors and players.

At the same time, don’t buy into the narrative that there are no good people in positions to help create positive change. That conveniently avoids thinking, becoming a lame excuse for doing nothing and trusting no one. Becoming easy prey for being divided and conquered.

For one minute, consider.

Find Ways. Find those who truly are. Find Ways to help them. They may forget you exist as soon as you leave the room. Doesn’t matter. Find Ways. Shelve your ego. Dispense with any need for recognition. Work with others, which will frequently involve not sharing your vision for those who truly are. Find Ways. Set things in motion. Be the match that ignites their lives, their gifts, their passion to pursue what excites and inspires them. Find Ways to light the torches of those who will continue, long after you’ve left the arena, to help those who truly are.

Let Go Of The Outcome. Will we know in this lifetime what influence, what impact, we had for those who truly are? Most of the time, No. Find Ways anyhow. Do what you can, let go. Find more who truly are. Make the effort, flip switches, change perspectives.
