You Choose How You Approach the Unknown
This is a necessary element of mindfulness.
The year is coming to a close. A lot has happened in the world, and much of what’s occurred has created a surreal amount of the unknown.
A great deal of the unknown we’re facing is scary. Certain people about to take power are expected to abuse it, and there is no telling how that will impact people like you and me. All I know is that the unknown is hugely, massively uncertain right now.
What can you and I do about this? Did you vote in the elections? Will you actively do things to protect the marginalized, the disenfranchised, and those with increasingly silenced voices? When it comes to the big picture, that’s more or less all that you can do.
