Being A Good Global Citizen
It would be difficult to deny that we are in a very challenging time as a planet. Watching or reading the news can be depressing and we may avoid it because we want and need to keep our energy up to attend to our individual lives. While there is nothing wrong with knowing when you need a retreat from the news of the day to restore your energy, when you are restored, remember that the world needs you and your light. The more conscious you are, and the more consciousness is something you seek, the more power you have to change this world for the better.
This is why it is important to stay connected with what is going in the larger world, even when it is difficult and painful, and we feel powerless to help. The truth is that bringing our attention to bear on the iniquities on this earth is akin to bringing light into darkness. We can help just by witnessing and sending out loving energy, and further, there are many concrete, positive actions we can take to heal the suffering of the world.
Being a good global citizen has to do with how we use our energy-where and how we spend our money, how we think and speak and act, and how we spend our time. Have a vision for healing the world and a sense of where you fit into manifesting that vision. And do not hesitate to take action in the direction of that dream. If you haven't already, consider choosing a cause that is in alignment with your vision of a beautiful future and support that cause with any or all of the tools you have-time, money, speech, action.
To keep yourself healthy and vibrant, nurture your connection to a source of energy greater than your small self, knowing that this source will support and heal you as you work to heal the world.
