Embracing the Wake-Up Call
As we find ourselves in the midst of unprecedented global events, it is evident that a collective wake-up call is being sounded. This awakening, intensified in this year, has been both abrupt and at times, quite tumultuous. It is like being jolted from a deep, deep slumber, pushed to confront the very core of our existence and question what it means to be human in today’s civilization.
The events surrounding us they all serve as catalysts. They push us to our core and compel us to seek truths, justice, fairness, and most importantly, authenticity in our existence. Yet, as we experience this intense awakening, it’s vital to understand the nuances of transitioning from our long-established sleep state to a fully conscious one.
When shaken into awareness, our initial reactions often come from what we’ve known while in our slumber. Our immediate response team, our mental toolkit, if you will, is constructed from past beliefs, experiences, and biases. In essence, when we are jarred awake, we fall back on these sleepy remnants.
But here’s the thing — while these reactions are inevitable and, in many ways, natural, they may not always be the most productive. To move forward as a united civilization, we must be compassionate toward our sleepy components, understand them, and then focus on a more harmonious, peaceful, and productive response.
How do we achieve that? By being intentional.
Whether you choose to march with a sign, raise your voice online, or find solace in silent reflection, every action counts. But more than the action itself, it’s the intention behind it that matters. By acting deliberately and staying true to ourselves, we can truly contribute to the collective awakening.
