Lucid living

I’m reading the news. As usual, it’s miserable

I see the injustice

The powerful preying on the vulnerable

I feel angry

Pessimistic

I experience disgust

Hatred towards the abusers

Then I catch myself

My unpleasant feelings are 100% caused by my thinking in the moment

I got sucked in

Tricked!

Absorbed into the inner narrative

As soon as I realise this, peace returns to body and mind

I'm not claiming 'it's all in your head'

I'm not denying reality, or the wish and need to right the wrongs in the world

The dream is real

But if it doesn't serve you, it's yours to steer

You are always free

To tell a better story

When I was feeling confused and lost in the world, I needed hope, autonomy, and understanding. These daily snippets are for that young human struggling in the challenging game of life.
