 As Sandy whipped New York and the East coast into a frenzy I had a moment to pause. The effect of Sandy, depending on where you were, was either a day of rest or a devastating blow. My prayers to those whose lives were altered. I was safe, tucked away under my comforter watching Netflex. On and off as I watched the news updates I felt pride in our government and public service personnel. Yet I was saddened. It should not take a natural disaster for us to show care and solidarity to our fellow citizens. Just the day before Hurricane Sandy my dear friend called for advise about a mean spirited correspondence she had received. I was taken aback by the evil tone of the mail. Such ungracious behavior is characteristic of our increasing glib and disrespectful society. With all the noise of life in today's "modern" world; the distasteful vitriol of the Presidential elections, the ugliness of America's original sin rearing its head, the selfishness, haughtiness and insincerity of our fellow man where rudeness has outstripped graciousness, how do you navigate your life with grace? Must we always have a disaster to humble us and reminded us that we are but a spec in the divine order of the universe. No technology, no political debate, no power seizing or greedy Wall Street grubbers could have done a single thing to stop Sandy. Nature is out of their influence in a call and response way. So where does all this vitriol get us?
The result of this top down lack of care for our fellow man, has plummeted American productivity and competitiveness to number 25 in the world. Workers and consumers, alike, betrayed by the "system" are defecting from corporate America and taking their own destiny in hand by becoming entrepreneurs. The 47%ers who are probably responsible for the erosion of natures balance anyway, from too much logging, too much drilling, too much mining, too much pollution and too much greed are going to have to have 'a come to Jesus moment'. Their Sandy might not be so lenient. As ordinary citizens we have played the game badly and we have been checkmated. The blame game and occupy whatever is not the solution yet it should be a strong reminder of how we have abandoned critical thinking and logic to follow the power structure like zombies. So if my theory is right and we are co-conspirators in our own demise, it is because we are not living our authentic life. Our authentic life, a guide to our best selves, will not allow us harm or hurt others. It is the life that promotes harmony. The third law of thermodynamics says that energy can neither be created or destroyed, only transformed....Let Hurricane Sandy be a reminder to transform our energies from negative to positive. Be grateful for the life you have kept for another day and live it boldly, lovingly and fearlessly. And if you have hurt someone....let them know how sorry you are, forgive yourself and move on with your life with spiritual elegance, My book of the month is a good place to start for finding happiness and contentment in your life. Happiness will spill over to all you meet along the way.
I am grateful to be able to connect with you again this month. We encourage you to go to our website to fulfill some of your holiday gift ideas and our dreams. Check out our new Kobo e-reader....for every reader on every platform and help us triumph in our transition.
My book of the Month
THE HAPPINESS ADVANTAGE
BUY NOW...CLICK IMAGE
Conventional wisdom holds that if we work hard we will be more successful, and if we are more successful, then we'll be happy. If we can just find that great job, win that next promotion, lose those five pounds, happiness will follow. But recent discoveries in the field of positive psychology have shown that this formula is actually backward: Happiness fuels success, not the other way around. When we are positive, our brains become more engaged, creative, motivated, energetic, resilient, and productive at work.
