Facing The Realities of Living In a Fast Pace High-Tech World.
I woke up this morning with an awareness of how anxious I have been within the last day or so. Realizing how I have been secretly forcing myself to take uninspired actions. Hoping somehow it would lead me to experience more of my desired feeling state for this year sooner.
If you have been following along with my postings, this article is another installment in my “Feeling into 2023 and Beyond” series. To briefly recap, I am embodying the feeling of being “On Purpose,” such that I can have more “On Purpose” experiences.
Upon waking up at sunrise. I realized how important it is now more than ever that I cultivate more patience. It’s important that I ease up on myself, not apply so much pressure, and stop trying to force things into being.
Feeling into my body, I sense a subtle hint of desperation stemming from my desire to get things right, to be mega-successful, and grow exponentially from 0 to 100 immediately. Perhaps this tense emotion is a by-product of my experience with the world around me.
Living in this digital age, there seems to be this desire for the “right now,” quick results. And now, with the new developments of AI, it’s as if we as humans don’t have to do much of anything because “convenient” pieces of software, will do it for us, in seconds.
In many ways, this is a dramatic shift from how nature truly works. And I have to remind myself that I am not, a robotic machine. I am flesh and blood, and my underlying systemic function operates by the laws of nature, not software code programmed by man and mankind. Therefore, I have to abide by the laws of nature and its processes even though I live in a wired tech-dominated world.
Reflecting on nature, I am awed by its beauties, such as the oak tree, and how long it takes one to produce acorns. According to my research, depending on the type, it can take an oak tree between 20 to 30 years to produce fruit. That is an insane amount of time to wait for results, that is, when thinking in terms of today’s want-it-now standards.
So to know that I am human, and my body functions according to the laws of nature, I cannot be so hard on myself for not being able to keep up with the fast-moving machines, that can work nonstop 24 hours a day 7 days a week straight, that are running this world today.
I also have emotions, which I cannot disregard and say to myself “stop your whining, and keep it moving.” My mental health is just as vital, if not more vital to my life, than my work ethic, because without it I won’t function at my best.
As much as the world continues to advance, I feel the need to have more compassion for myself and for others. At times, we mindlessly put ourselves in this place of self-loathing, because of what we feel are shortcomings in our human design. However, perhaps they are not shortcomings at all.
As much as we may each want success, I believe that it is also important to remember, the price we pay for ignoring our mind, body, and spirit’s connection to the earth, and its perfect timing. And to try to defy this can lead to all kinds of health issues among other things.
I feel it’s important to remember that the “Almighty Creator” designed us just as we should be for what we are divinely put here to do. And this awareness is helping me cultivate more patience with myself.
I am not here to compete with technology, let alone another person who may appear to be advancing ahead of me. I am not “running my own race,” I don’t feel the need to race at all. To be honest. I am not trying to speed through my life, whereas, I am moving too fast to enjoy all the beauty that surrounds me here and now.
I hear many people talk about how they worked so much that they didn’t even get a chance to experience their children growing up, which they now regret because they don’t have a strong bond with them. And how their working so hard created a divide between them and their significant other. Or how they made the big money, only to realize that they are not truly happy because of the extreme pressures and lives at stake if they don’t reach their quota.
It’s amazing how some people, including me at one time, prioritize the material as if that is the only thing of true value. As much as it is an essential part of life, it isn’t the only aspect of a life of the greatest value.
As I continue on my journey feeling into 2023, it is important that I let the “Most High” direct me through my inner guidance and experiences, without me trying to intervene and speed up the process through brute force because of impatience.
I must breathe into my body more, and take time to tune into the divine, natural world, where peace, compassion, and patience reign supreme, and things flow in seamless alignment with the laws of nature. This I truly believe will give me a more wholesome and happy planetary experience.
