are you an instrument of peace of a weapon of mass destruction?
you hold the power to be both, fam.
how one answers that depends on their intentions behind their actions.
when we decide to use our energy in a loving way, one that uplifts, encourages, +/or inspires, we beget peaceful interactions.
the opposite is also true: negativity begets negativity….
that is until a dope ass person (one much like yourself) steps up + breaks the cycle.
the same energy we use to “correct” someone by calling them out n front of others to embarrass them can be the same energy we use to pull someone to the side + work things out one-on-one + in a loving manner.
the same energy that wishes death + destruction in the name of societal preservation can be the same energy used to build + uplift communities by sharing with it skills on how to grow food, providing therapy + safe spaces for sharing ideas + conflict resolution, +/or other educational means that will encourage others to empower themselves through learning + practicing these skills.
feeling disappointed + frustrated are vital components to living fully + freely, + are key catalysts for change.
however, acting out in disappointment + frustration can call for regret due to our clouded minds + jaded hearts in that moment.
let your frustration move you to create more positive change in your world, fam.
frustrated that your community is lacking basic needs for all?
complaining only takes you so far. what do you wanna see + what service can you provide that will help bridge/solve the crisis?
disappointed in someone’s actions?
in what ways do you address that while honoring their individuality + accepting that your opinion about what they shoulddo isn’t necessarily what they will choose to do?
today, if you’re up for the challenge, absorb the energy given to you + use it for your highest good.
instead of returning the energy given to you, rework the energy to use it to represent who you are at your core.
what was sent to reduce you to a pile of nothingness can be used to build an entire empire, fam.
when you’re clear on who you are + your heart’s intent, your actions will follow suit.
today, use your energy precisely in a way that echos the memos + sentiments of who you are at your core + show up as an instrument of peace.
be you, be dope!
