Hopi Indian Chief White Eagle commented a few days ago on the Kov id situation: "This moment that humanity is living through can be considered a door or a hole. The decision to fall into the hole or go through the door is yours. If you consume information 24 hours a day, with negative energy, constantly nervous, with pessimism, you will fall into this hole. But if you take the opportunity to look at yourself, to rethink life and death, to take care of yourself and others, you will go through the door. Take care of your home, take care of your body. Connect with your spiritual home. When you take care of yourself, you take care of others at the same time. Do not underestimate the spiritual dimension of this crisis. Adopt the perspective of an eagle that sees everything from above with a broader vision. There is a social demand in this crisis, but also a spiritual demand. The two go hand in hand. Without the social dimension, we fall into fanaticism. Without the spiritual dimension, we fall into pessimism and futility. You are prepared to go through this crisis. Grab your toolbox and use all the tools at your disposal. Learn to resist by the example of the Indian and African peoples: we have been and continue to be exterminated. * But we never stopped singing, dancing, lighting fires and having joy. Don't feel guilty for feeling lucky in these difficult times. Being sad and without energy doesn't help at all. * Resilience is resilience through joy! You have the right to be strong and positive. You have to maintain a beautiful, cheerful and bright posture. This has nothing to do with alienation (ignorance of the world). It is a strategy of resistance. When we walk in the door, we have a new view of the world because we have faced our fears and difficulties. This is what you can do now: - Serenity in the storm, - Keep calm, meditate daily, - Make a habit of encountering the sacred every day. Demonstrate resilience through art, joy, trust and love. " Are you going through the Door or into the Hole?

Listening to the latest episode of We Can Do Hard Things, they talk about the stories we tell ourselves and how this can keep you in the life you've been living. Doesn't mean this life is bad - it just might not be the life you want any longer, however it is very hard for you to stop telling yourself a certain story. This can now become your identity. I feel this deeply. As I'm working through claiming the identities of author, speaker, entrepreneur, I realize I don't know how to tell myself this story. I have a hard time imagining things - it's never been a strong suit of mine, I was a matter of fact kid and I grew into a rule following, matter of fact adult...attempting to raise imaginative rule following kids. It's a challenge! Anywho, if an identity if difficult for you, maybe evaluate the story your telling yourself. And here's the episode if you want to listen: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0tUL0iuIOPUoiJsaiA1Fji?si=hVCleP3oRTCuFgeriCqp6Q&t=3073&ct=2430
