It's always a tricky one when there are people either close to you or that you can see in the world who are struggling. And that can really raise the empathy. It can make you feel sad or connected to those people, but it's also really important to recognize that you being peaceful and you being purposeful is exactly the change that the planet and we as a people need right now.
So feel no shame about that. You'll really need it - especially those of you that are feeling that way right now. And if you're thinking, "I couldn't feel less peaceful or purposeful," your time will come. But it will require you giving yourself to this process that you're in right now where you're shedding, letting go of a lot of the stuff that has held us together as a people.

As you begin to settle into gratitude - the incredible force of gratitude that moves through all of us - take a moment to be open to what you might be grateful for today. Which parts of your life right now do you feel grateful for? It might be shelter, food, or water. It might be a deep conversation you just had with a loved one. It may be your ability to overcome all you have just been through.
