Do You Feel the Weight of the World?

When tragedy strikes, we all want to understand it.  We all want to know why serial killers kill, why terrorists create a reign of terror.  Part of it can be attributed to things we can prevent, but there is always a percentage that is unpreventable.  Can you live with that?

If you remember 9/11, former Mayor Rudy Guiliani had to instruct New Yorkers to go back out and live their lives again.  Broadway shows, restaurants and other service industries had no one to service, because we were afraid to live.  We can't live in a state of hyper-vigilance.  That is not a life worth living.  We have to put precautions in place and move forward.  

If you feel the "weight of the world on your shoulders", try this life-hack:  "I have people for that."  You know the horror movies where the girls at the slumber party stay up all night worrying about the scary noises, well, unless you are staying at the "Bates' Motel", tell yourself "I have people for that".  The people are our police, the FBI and Homeland Security, keeping us safe at night.  Then, we have to take basic precautions (lock the doors, make sure our smoke alarms have batteries) and go to bed.

Yes, there are a small percentage of psychopaths in the world.  We cannot guard against every one, it takes up too much energy.  Here's the irony, when we live in fear, our intuition is off, which could have allowed us to see evil coming toward us.  Our intuition can help us.  We just need to listen, in a quiet, peaceful state of mind; not in a scared, over-active brain.  We all have intuition, it's a skill we can build with practice.

Have a great day!
