Who Are We Becoming – Part 2?

Who Are We Becoming – Part 2?

Welcome to “Real Life After 70” 

This is Real Life After 70 – Episode 04-002

My name is Mike Reynolds. I’m your host for this and each episode.

Are you ready to fight for your best self? 

Today is 2 days post-election where DT won an election based on lies and misinformation. More than 68 million people voted for truth and a new direction forward. This new direction would have paved a path for fair opportunity for all. Instead, about 72 million votes were cast to consolidate power in the hands of a few billionaires and corrupt politicians. 

Join me in the fight to bring power to the people.

Make no mistake, I am angry today. This is the most gentle, inclusive thought I am able to allow at this absolutely disgusting moment in time. 

But I feel compelled to share because this quote embodies the values that I aspire to remember and represent in the way I live my days, however long that may be:

“… I can disagree with a political leader’s actions. I can legislate. I can do civil disobedience if I think what they support is wrong. I can disagree with actions that are not compassionate. But I want to keep my heart open. If I don’t, I am part of the problem, not part of the solution. And that’s just not interesting enough. That’s what the inner work is—to become part of the solution.

So going around being angry at everything and everybody is a cheap pie. It really is. You don’t have to act out of anger in order to oppose something. You can act to oppose something because it creates suffering. You can become an instrument of that which relieves suffering, but you don’t have to get angry about it.

Social action does not have to be pumped up by righteous indignation or anger. That’s working with the dark forces. That’s working with fear. You can work with love. You can oppose somebody out of love. You can do social action out of love. And that’s the way you win the whole war, not just the battle..."

-Ram Dass

The focus today is on what we are becoming. We’ve all experienced a lot of things in our lives. All of our choices have brought us to this very point in our lives. Now, the question is, where do we go now.

The law of attraction states that what we focus on is what we become.

Tune in to this episode to hear some thoughts about becoming the best version of ourselves that we can be at this time.
