Hope Beyond Despair
Yesterday night a quote caught my eye…
You will continue to suffer if you
have an emotional reaction to
everything that is said to you
True power is sitting back and
observing things with logic. True
power is restraint. If words
control you that means everyone
else can control you. Breathe
and allow things to pass
Warren Buffet
I began to think what makes one hopeful. To move beyond despair, we need to learn to see hope no matter the storm. To make light of the heavy, is not easy but it helps to stay in touch with practice. To feel emotional is human but to be aware of how to balance these feelings in conscious awareness consistently is about inculcating practice.
I felt strongly resonant with Warren Buffet’s words in the quote above…
And he said the truth...
For life is a game
A play of power
A chessboard to challenge
The adversary in action
If you balance your emotions
Channel your thoughts & feelings
Take time to traverse through
And let the cool winds blow…
You begin to understand
The spaces between the steps
Trusting time in tolerance & patience
In choosing to practise restraint.
In choosing faith beyond fear
In choosing hope beyond despair.
That’s what keeps you going
That’s what keeps you balanced.
That’s what makes life worth living.
Breathe and allow things to pass…
