Life is a struggle
But the fact that you still have your body, you still have your soul, you still have a roof over your head, you still have food to eat, you still have a place to call home, you still have your family, still have kids. Whatever you have, it's a blessing. Whatever it is that you've been blessed to receive while you're living here on this Earth is a blessing. A lot of people, they don't take what we have

It's important to just love yourself through it and just be okay with it and know that you're not a terrible person. There's nothing wrong with you. Everything that's coming up is just what we've been holding inside unconsciously, and through our own conditioning, we suppressed it all, but now it's time to release it
It's like every man for themselves. Even if you're in a marriage or in a relationship or whatever, it's never a United front when it comes to stuff like that. That's why I said life is a struggle, and the only way we can see past the struggle. We have to have God in our lives. We have to sit there and seek him in his Kingdom and all that consists of that

And if you remain compassionate when someone's calling you a name or whatever or yelling at you for you to remain compassionate that's one of the hardest things you can do because you have to first work on yourself enough so that whatever they're saying doesn't trigger you into your own looping of your own trauma and your own wounding that's going to respond

For the most part, most humans are like, oh, you're yelling at me, I'm going to yell back at you. It's difficult to see that that person is truly in pain underneath. And the smokescreen is just them yelling at you or them calling you a name or whatever. It could be like I said. So, yeah, I want to throw that in there because a lot of us don't think about that

Like, you affect one person, that person might affect another ten people, and then those people might affect another 500 people. We never really know. And I feel like right now, the way the energies are on the planet, that type of thing, compassion, compassionate action, something good happening instead of having good or negative things on the news, have positive things on the news. You know how contagious that is right now? That is like the most contagious energy
I completely agree with being compassionate towards people and how it has a ripple effect on those that you show compassion into. People go through stuff every day. That's the truth of the matter. People go through things and for most they let it carry them throughout their day. They seem to be miserable, depressed, anxious, any type of negative effect that causes them to go through what they go through

So, honestly, I just want to say I'm proud of you. I could tell that you've really evolved yourself in your life. Yeah. So awesome. Keep it going. You're doing great. We all need each other. Like I said, I didn't have too many people when I was going through my hardest times in life, emotionally and cognitively and whatnot. So I want to be that person and help others. Just to be there, just to be a friend

Hey, also, I wanna say, you know, life is hard. So so do it hard. Right. Like that's. That's a quote from Les Brown. Have you ever heard of him? Les Brown? He's got yeah, he's got some really great wisdom. Used to listen to him back in the day. I should actually start listening to him again because he's got some really great stuff. Just to keep you motivated

Hey, you are right. Life is a struggle actually, and we all go through different things at different times. I think the vast majority of the people in the world are going through stuff together because everything has kind of happened since Covet, at least here in the States. I speak to some people from out of this country as well. But last week or so I've been pretty I'll say good mood, happy. But I've also been mentally exhausted. Physically exhausted, too
And I said fully because there are still some things with me on a spiritual aspect that I need to get dealt with from God. So when I know something is not right in my life, I go to God in prayer, I talk to God about it and just see where he leaves me because we don't have a lot to live. We don't have a lot of time to live the way things are going or whatever time is wind up. Time goes by so fast, people age quickly

It's our fault. There are things that are out of our control. Other people's situations. Like you said, we can care and love and take care of those people
