"Banish the word "struggle".
All we do now, must be done in a sacred manner, as a celebration.
For we are the ones we've been waiting for."
- paraphrased from Pema Chodron's teachings.
I love this teaching, and am so grateful for it.
We all have sacred work to do in service of each other and the world. To do this work is not a struggle but a great privilege. May we be able to come from a place of presence and awareness, with an open heart; may we be able to see clearly what is needed; and may we do our work in the world gladly and joyously, for we are the ones we've been waiting for.
The kind of work I'm talking about here is not showy or flashy. It may be your job, but it doesn't have to be. It can be the smallest act, the most mundane thing: cleaning someone's house, helping an animal out of the road, smiling at someone, saying a kind word to a stranger, and so on. What's important is HOW we do this work. How we approach it and each other: without expectations, with a sense of openness and gladness. Without resentment.
Let me know if you need anything 🙂
