“Every obstacle or challenge that comes in our lives either brings us into deeper level of resistance or into a deeper level of presence.” – EvolveNow
We are half way through 2020 and if this year has shown us anything, it is how life can change in an instant and how we respond to these changes can easily steer us towards resistance or presence.
We are currently undergoing a health and racial pandemic:
A health pandemic that puts our physical health at the risk of a virus that we have yet to fully understand and continues to spread.
A racial pandemic that unpacks white privilege and racism showing us that history has yet to change and that black lives are still fighting for equality and justice.
These past few months have been a true test of our emotional and mental strength to battle the unexpectedness of life. It has, in my humble opinion, placed a magnifying glass over each of us, showing us on a bigger scale how we are responding to all of these occurring events.
I have watched people so driven by fear they are unravelling at the seams. And some so driven by a cause and a purpose they have no choice but to be proactive and dive right in. Whichever road you travel on, be compassionate and empathetic and try to see that we all come from different life experiences and handle things differently.
