ETA: NEVER stop asking yourself why. That is the beating heart of discernment. Question everything, most especially ourselves.

We are everything. Good, bad, kind, hateful, passionate, apathetic, honest, liars, courageous, afraid, hard-working, lazy, compassionate, spiteful, and on and on.

The key is that we CHOOSE. every day, we make hundreds of choices, and it is our ability to consciously choose that is our unique gift. This is why discernment is such a crucial skill we need to be teaching ourselves and in our schools. But that would awaken us to the power we all already innately have, and those in power want us angry and afraid. If more people were aware of the immense power we each have in our choices, and if we learn how to discern and to see both immediate impacts and also long term impacts of our choices, then fear and anger loosen their grip on us. A people who harnesses the power of their choices, is a people that cannot be easily controlled by anger and fear.

Choose wisely.
