As human beings, we are under the impression that we can control our environments. We spend so much time trying to control the way we look, the people we have in our lives, how we progress in our careers, material statuses, perceived weaknesses or strengths…

 

We are planning for the beautiful sunny days and preparing for the rainy ones. We’ve been shown that we can interact and co-create with the Divine in the material world, as a result, we may have become a bit expectant of timely results.

 

As we sit in a time of so much uncertainty with a global pandemic on our hands, we may be pondering our stresses and trying to gain some security in the face of upheaval.

 

In the Stone Age, when we didn’t know where to go or have paved ways, we relied on our instincts. These instincts are the hardwired behavioral patterns that give us ideas of what to do in certain environments with various stimuli.

 

In the days before we had so many options, it may have been easier to follow and trust that we would know the right thing to do. We lived in the moment, having confidence in ourselves during uncertain times. We lived with mindfulness knowing we could cross the bridge when we came to it. Through being fully present on the journey, we would be able to make the best decision in that moment.
