Guess what day it is? Faith Filled
Friday; it certainly is.
Ok. I really have to be honest here.
I have become growingly weary of hearing the political bantering and hate being
spewed. The level it has reached has really been affecting me. So much so, that
I had put FB in the backseat for a while. Then I realized I really do love
social media. So I came back and just started un-following people. I don't want
to discount people or their opinions but I started noticing that it was causing
me a lot of anxiety. It was disrupting my own journey toward happiness and
peace which I already struggle with. I don't have to absorb it, at least not if
I have the choice.
So as hard as it was, one, by one, I
began clicking the button to un-follow friends. I love everyone, but it's like
people have become un-hinged and can't help but project hate and hostility towards
one another.
I have to admit making this decision
has made me feel better. It is nice to enjoy some peace. Funny that although
social media is a lot of typed words, when you shut off that hateful energy how
much more quiet things seem to evolve around us. Peace is surely becoming more
and more valuable the older I become. I want to not only see the beauty out
there, but ultimately feel it. Take the time to touch it, smell it, fall asleep
appreciating that it was part of my day and just one piece to the puzzle of the
day behind me.
It just crossed my mind..."Back
to Breathing," which, for me, means to stay the course toward happiness.
Let's dare to step back and let go of the pride-motivated hate and take every
chance we get to steady our compasses toward what we really want internally
from this life.
Much love
John
