As a Federal worker still working who is waiting and wondering if Congress is going to get the legislation necessary to fund my payroll or not passed soon, I have allowed myself to fall into the negativity trap again, and am not sending the positive energy out into the world that I know in my heart I should.
I was reminded of this through the workshop I attended yesterday and the most recent Philosophers Notes from Brian Johnson at the En*Theos Academy.
As a voting constituent I can - and have - let my elected officials know how I feel and what I think should be done. And, if they continue down the road they are currently on, I will remind them of that as necessary. And...that is all I can do. I can't force all of Congress into a rubber room and feed them bread and water until they do the right thing for our nation and the Federal workers who support her - however appealing that sounds at times.
I, as a responsible adult, need to realize what I can affect change upon and what I can't, and have the maturity and the wisdom to affect it where I can - starting with myself - and to let the rest go. The only person I can control is myself, and I need to get back to doing that and focusing my energies on making sure I am living the best life that I can right here, right now.
I want to sow positive energy that will come back to me in rapids, ripples, and tidal waves - I really do! So that is where my focus is right here, right now. The rest will take care of itself.
Namaste!
