It's been a week of punishing heat, intense work, sudden cooling rain and showers of unexpected but most welcome abundance. Which goes to show that hard work, good choices and responsible behaviour do pay off, all in good time and when it so pleases the universe. A positive outlook, concerted effort to treat others as you would have them treat you and a willingness to accept every situation and just carry on is highly recommended if you want any kind of peace.
Of course, being human does not allow us to be perfect and so it is sometimes a bit of a slog to view the world and its various inhabitants in a charitable light, but we must persevere as there is no purpose in living if we do not strive for self-improvement. Those who choose to live by violence, hatred and destruction will find that there is nothing at the end of that road, yet that is their choice and it is for them to find out. There is nothing like experience as a teacher.
Social media plays a great part in spreading awareness of the less desirable aspects of society and fuels the frenzy of vitriolic posts and tweets from the trolls (a very apt word) who have little or nothing to offer the world. This is a great learning tool - practice non-reaction. It means nothing to them that they have upset your equilibrium, and only you are affected. You are not responsible for changing the world, but you can change your own life simply through the way you react to each event.
Change your thoughts and change your life.
