When you think of chaos what comes to mind?
On the grand scale of things, my immediate thought is war, mistreatment of Human Beings and the devastation caused by some Human Beings to Mother Earth but if we bring it closer to home and look at Self, are you able to recognise where you call chaos into your life?
What’s interesting is that without proper reflection, it can be very easy to overlook this. For example: with Human Beings sometimes I feel the lack of care and community puts people in a position to neglect themselves and like anything, once this becomes a habit, it is not easily recognisable.
Sometimes in order for people to do better they need to be reminded that they are cared for and they do matter and this doesn’t have to mean constantly filling people up with your time and effort, to the point where you leave yourself in a deficit, it just means on a basic level treating one another as though we wish to be treated with kindness and compassion and sometimes that looks like ‘I see you.’ Showing compassion and understanding for those who get caught up in ways that cause more harm than good and in merely being present alone, reminding one another that peace is always available.
Everyday we are making choices regarding how we choose to live and it is easy to get swept up in chaos, repeating habits that aren’t serving us and keeping company of those who also aren’t serving themselves which creates a vicious cycle.
We have systems surrounding us also that at the core have the opportunity to assist with individuals living better but when systems are also neglected this impacts individual growth. Don’t get me wrong I know above anything an individual must want better for themselves before better can happen but if societal services have had to step in, then it is the duty of said service to ensure they play their role as an individual has already shown they are struggling. There is already chaos there.
Love comes in when people step up, are accountable, do the work and it takes all parties upholding their commitment to ensure peaceful growth.
Abandonment hurts but what if we aren’t abandoning people per se but the ways in which we function with people and sometimes the best/only way to do that is through releasing. Standing in love whilst also having to let go.
Peace or chaos, what are you choosing?
Take a moment to visualise what peace looks and feels like for you?
And now do the same for chaos?
Chaos hurts. Peace heals yet chaos can be a conduit for change.
Choosing love in the face of adversity is strength; being present whilst witnessing others pain, distain and neglect for self, isn’t easy yet sometimes that is exactly what we are called to do because we must give people the opportunity to rectify themselves for themselves. And sometimes the mere presents alone of someone who is operating on a different frequency is enough, to have a positive ricochet effect.
If you are being called to step into anyones chaos, I hope you are able to do so with eyes that can see, ears that can hear and an understanding heart.
The world, Mother Earth, is amazing.
Societies, systems and conditioning can be heavily flawed and so let this serve as a reminder that we are Spiritual Beings having a Human Experience, no one in control of the other and remember people need space and time to course correct; people are undergoing their own lessons and the journey of loving self isn’t at all an easy one.
Throughout today, are you able to recognise where you choose between peace and chaos?
Acknowledge it and let life flow.
Peace creates harmony.
Chaos disharmony.
And yet chaos can also serve as a positive, in terms of shaking things up in order to allow for growth.
