“I have decided to stick to love…Hate is too great a burden to bear.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.
“Throughout life people will make you mad, disrespect you and treat you bad. Let God deal with the things they do, cause hate in your heart will consume you too.”
― Will Smith
Anger is one of the most powerful emotions, and justified anger even more so. When you see an injustice or someone treats you badly, anger can take you over so completely that you feel little else. This is a dangerous thing.
No matter what happens outside of you, it is processed on the inside. Hate is destructive and can put your cells into a state of turmoil. Your insides clench, you feel hot, and very real physical changes occur. Nothing outside of you is affected but your state of being is completely altered. You are harming yourself from the inside out.
So what to do? Accept what you cannot change, change what you can, and work within your own sphere of power. Emit feelings of love and don’t contribute to the energy of hate. Support what you believe in and stop turning a blind eye to what you know is wrong. Find beauty and miracles around you instead of looking for evil. Everything about life should inspire you to want to be the best version of yourself.
Moon on the Move – The Moon, being the closest object to Earth, exhibits the greatest influence on us from a celestial aspect. It moves through the zodiac quicker than the other planets, spending only about two days in each sign, so it never hurts to know where it is to help plan your day. Trust me, it works.
Today the Moon has made its way into Leo, and we can be more inclined to play, share, act, express, and create. We need some feedback and interaction, and we are confident and prepared to deal with all that comes our way. Feelings can be strong and we can be more willing to share ourselves with others. Today is not a good day to start something new though so wait until tomorrow afternoon. It is a good day to continue projects that are already underway and pamper yourself so enjoy some downtime.
Thought of the Times – It’s time to get back to whatever you were trying to do before the last four months derailed just about everything, but approach it from a new angle now. Nothing is the same as it was and we are all changed forever. We now avoid close contact with each other, move away from instead of towards strangers, and feel hesitant to do things that were once taken for granted. But don’t use the new environment as an excuse to stop living. In fact, allow it to inspire you to move with more conviction, cognizant of the fact that things can change in an instant and that time goes by quickly. Don’t put decisions on hold any longer.
Have a creative day.
“The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it’s indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it’s indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it’s indifference.”
― Elie Wiesel
