How To Be Still (Calm) In The Middle Of A Storm
Mental resilience begins with perspective shifts
Emerald is here reporting on the nature of change.
Change is inevitable in life. As long as we are breathing, change is the only constant thing in life. Hands down, no doubt, absolutely. However, there is something constant in life. Isn’t love constant? Defining the meaning of love is another can of worm.
Right, somehow I feel like I’ve resisted change for a big chunk of my life. Honestly looking behind, the times I’ve resisted change have been the most challenging of times. For example, before moving to America, I thought I was at the top of the food chain in so far as a level of privilege I grew up with. Honey, I was so wrong. Yet I resisted and resented the different reality.
This didn’t get me anywhere but inside
Digging deep inside myself
I found solace and faith in the changing nature of life
- I learn humility
- I learn surrender
- I learn the power of choice
- I learn compassion
- I learn appreciation
Ahead of time, I am to accept the nature of change in this life
When alive, Change is the prerequisite course 101
Nature is constantly changing, so we are constantly evolving
Believe it or not
Accept it or not
One of the strategies I’ve adopted is to stay center in the eye of the storm. The eye of the storm is staying calm amidst all the chaos beyond your control. In the scorching storm, the only ally capable of protection is to enter into the eye of the storm. The eye of the storm is the quiet space inside of yourbody, a space of boundary-less-ness
- A space of non-physical
- A space of objectivity
- A space of all-pervasive
- A space of nothingness
- Beauty is a quiet space
