“It’s always about Oneness or Separation”

Friday Focus – 8/25/17 {When You Can’t Stop The Stress}
“What do you do when you know what to do, but you can’t help but let the stress get to you?”
“The suffering comes when you resist the current situation. What are you trying to change?”
“I feel as if I know enough intellectually not to stress out too much about things, and knowing this should help me in most situations… but I keep stressing and the stressing is stressing me out even more!”
“What is the goal?”
“The goal is to stop stressing!”
“This goal cannot be achieved right now. You are fighting against the current flow of life. Fighting against the flow of life creates even more resistance. Turn your vision around and go with the flow. Stress? What is so bad about stress? It is our identified stories and fears around a situation that creates stress and therefore keep us in suffering. “Stress” is not what is driving you mad, it is your identification to something or someone”
————————————————————————-
So much of our suffering comes from desiring a different “current situation”. Can we sit in THIS moment and feel the gratitude of our breath? The sun on our face? The ability to call our loved ones and tell them how much we love them? To hug our beloved dog? To walk outside in nature and feel the beating heart of Mother Earth?
If you find yourself identifying to the student above ask yourself these following questions:
- What am I needing to change to feel better?
- Can I have faith that this too shall pass?
- Can I breathe and with each exhale deepen my faith in the Universe’s ability to handle things perfectly?
No matter the situation, let us find a bit of peace in knowing we are taken care of – always.

What Is Collaboration Really?
What would the world look like if we surrendered concepts such as “yours” and “mine”? How different would we approach each other and how much more would we collaborate?
To me, collaboration is the essence of life. It’s the surrendering of these concepts “yours” and “mine”.
It’s understanding there is a slice of pie for EVERYONE at the table. This way of collaboration implies we are ONE, like a wave in an ocean, working toward a common goal or from the same heart space.
No need for jealousy, yearning, or craving because universally what’s yours is mine and what’s mine is already yours ❤ At the end of the day we are all craving STATES, resources we all have within us, and I can guarantee we all have the ability to access these states such as love, freedom, and peace. You are already these things. No more searching or looking outside you. You are already perfect.
I’m not going to sugar coat. It takes work. It takes support. It takes know how and practicality with actual tools and frameworks. But what I am here to tell you today is that it’s possible. It’s possible because it’s already within YOU. Yes, YOU hold these resources. You already are these resources. Feel my passion yet? 😉
As Francis of Assisi would say, “The one you are looking for is the one who is looking.”
