All I’ve been thinking as I watch the numerous posts about the California wildfires, is “Oh dear gawd. Stop focusing on the fire.”
It seems so natural to us that when there is a problem to focus on it. But if you know anything about the law of attraction, focus only makes things get bigger. It’s not that we shouldn’t care about the fires. How could we not? I have so many people I’m connected to who live in LA. It’s not about ignoring their needs or this terrible tragedy. It’s about focusing in ways that bring an end to the fires rather than keep them going.
We have been collectively staring at fire photos, fire videos, and watching the destruction. Instead let’s focus on rain, peace, the fires going out. Let’s use our collective imagination to see it getting better.
As I’ve been doing my work on healing myself, the one thing I’ve learned to be true is “where focus goes, energy flows.” If we want those fires to go out, we need to stop focusing on, and inundating ourselves with, the fires. Let’s use our powerful thoughts to focus on the end… what we want rather than on what we don’t want.
If that doesn’t make sense to you, don’t worry about it. That part of the message is not for you. Others will get what I’m talking about. So this next part is for you.
I am a songwriter. Songs come to me in my sleep. This morning this song came to me. I believe it can be powerful for the collective (meaning, all of us) to come together and sing it while picturing the fires going out, visualizing rain, and the collective celebration of the last ember going out.
I’ve never done something like this before, but I’m overcoming my nervousness to share this, fresh-out-of-bed voice and all… because it’s not about me. It’s not about my fears of criticism. It’s about doing what I feel called to do. It’s about sharing my gift. It’s about walking in my purpose. Share & Let’s Live! is my purpose. I am here to tell you, and teach you by example, that we are here for each other. We’re not just here to pay bills, retire, and die. We are here to use those gifts that we have, that we dropped off from utilizing in high school, and college, and once we started “adulting.” My task on this Earth is to teach that we ALL have gifts (our passions, skills, and interests are the clue) that we get to enjoy and share. When we share what we have, what we love, what lights us up, our whole world expands.
