MY SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT

I love to compare many schools of thought. Some are so complex and some are very simple. They all seem to intertwine and at any given moment they collide or they fuse together. After all, these thoughts and ideas are all shared from human to human. If aliens would send us messages it probably wouldn’t apply to our existence in this planet. So why not make it more simple, so we can all understand these laws? Attracting what’s needed, good or bad, for our growth in our mundane experience. The complexities that we bring to our lives are absurd sometimes. They bring more stress to the stress. It’s like adding fire to the fire to try to extinguish it. I encountered so many opinions trying to solve an issue. Only knocking on many doors, I found the one that worked for us. Staying inquisitive and following my intuition is what allowed me to find solutions. This is where patience and grace need to kick in. The key is to ignite the spark to reach for the light in the matter.

What we need is not a perfect balance, that is unattainable, that, does not exist. We need a variety of situations and approaches. I love to think that our lives are like a good book, that we are writing. It better be great! Magnificent! Full of color, tears and laughter. It should want to make you keep reading it and thirsty for more. In this book, you are the main character and you are the creator of every chapter. You get to turn the page, or skip a part, or even go back to read it. And in your life you could write many, many books. Some will be so boring you will wish you never wrote, and others so intense you can only read once. And hopefully when you’re older you can share these books with the people that you love.

Our legacy could be honored in societies and recorded in books. We can become famous. But maybe we won’t. Maybe our legacy doesn’t need that kind of limelight, because deep inside, we know that we changed some one else’s heart. We know that we helped our human fellows. We love hard. When we fall, we manage to stand up again, and that is our biggest accomplishment. Badass humans, we call us. We barely remember the pain, but we do remember the glory. How amazing our lives are.

Regardless of what we believe in - our religion or philosophy - we are all part of a greater good. Becoming good humans is for this greater good. For peace. For feeling safe and loved. Open your mind and heart to receive experiences and accept the ones you didn't deserve to live through. Honor your ability to deal with them. We could read many books, go to higher education levels, but only experiencing things will make us grow. Support your experiences with others. That's what this is all about. Sharing our life with others. Growing together. I welcome you to listen, to learn, to exclude or skip the information that does not apply to you. Educate yourself in other perceptions and individuals' truths, so you can create your own truth. Let it be. Let them be.
