Sometimes we are so busy looking out at the world around us and trying to fix it or working to save others that we forget to look within ourselves. Sometimes we are so busy listening to the advice of others or the hearing the "wisdom" of others or following the guidance of others that we forget to look within ourselves. Sometimes we are so busy being lost in our own doubts and fears and worries that it's impossible to believe what we find within ourselves.
Let's face it, our world is a busy place. We busy ourselves with taking care of our physical needs and the needs of others. We busy ourselves with avoiding thinking and focusing on what lies within us by bombarding our brains with mind numbing activities. We busy ourselves by looking outside of ourselves to find all that is wrong with the world. We busy ourselves looking for explanations and answers. We busy ourselves looking for where to place blame and casting judgment on everything. We busy ourselves seeking, searching, worrying, longing, avoiding, denying, and fixing.
Perhaps it's time to let go of our doubts and fears and denial. Perhaps it's time to stop listening to all of the voices outside of us. Perhaps it's time to let go of blame and judgment and put an end to our need to fix. Perhaps it is time to stop seeking and searching and looking outside of ourselves.
Perhaps it is time to get busy quieting ourselves and focus on looking within and start working outward from there.
