The Evolution of Global Trade: From Ancient Routes to Modern Inequality
This week, we reflect on the question: "where do we go from here?" Just as with any rite of passage, whether graduation, marriage, birth of a child, a pivotal election, or the loss (or finding) of a job, anytime a new adventure begins, or ends, we are faced with choices as to "where do we go from here?" In this new issue of InnerSelf, we bring you articles to assist you in finding your way in the newness and the oldness of what is going on around us.
This week, our articles encourage you to take time to "be"... Take a deep breath, and relax.. for whatever time you can. One minute is better than none...
Perhaps the theme of this week's newsletter can best be summarized by the first and the last of the featured articles about living from our spiritual heart and being of service and becoming a "better" version of ourselves.
The "slogan" or sub-title for the InnerSelf website is "New Attitudes---New Possibilities", and that is exactly the theme of this week's newsletter. The purpose of our articles and authors is to empower readers to move forward with a new attitude thus opening the way for new possibilities and new realities.
These days we are living in mini-bubbles... in our own homes, at work, and in public, and possibly in our own mind and with our own emotions. However, living in a bubble, or feeling like we are somehow cut off from others, does not mean that we stop living, growing, and moving forward. We can thrive in times of challenge.
Life is a journey and, as most journeys, comes with its ups and downs. And just like day always follows night, so do our personal daily experiences go from dark to light, and back and forth. However, we are not subject to a timetable set by nature or by others...
Whatever we are going through, both individually and collectively, we must remember that we are not helpless victims. We can reclaim our power to carve our own path and to heal our lives, spiritually and emotionally, as well as physically. This week, we take a look at ways to traverse the challenges of these times.
One of the great strength of the human race is our ability to be flexible, to be creative, and to think outside the box. To be someone other than we were yesterday or the day before. We can change... our mind, our attitude, our health, and even ourselves.
The theme of the newsletter this week can be summed up as "you can do it" or more specifically "we can do it!". This is another way of saying "you/we have the power to make a change". The image of the arrows hitting the center mark reminds us that we too can aim for a goal and attain it, however "impossible" or grandiose it may seem.
This week we practice moving past old traumas, old and current hurts, old and no longer relevant attitudes, past erroneous beliefs, past fearful limitations, past... (Well, you get the point.) And it seems we often have to go over a hurdle to get there... there are sometimes challenges whether physical, mental, or emotional... and sometimes all three combined.
We see life through the lenses of our perception. Stephen R. Covey wrote: “We see the world, not as it is, but as we are??or, as we are conditioned to see it.” So this week, we take a look at some different ways of seeing life and events in our life.
The roads we are travelling these days are as old as the times, yet are new for us. The experiences we are having are as old as the times, yet they also are new for us. The same goes for the challenges we face. So this week we share various ways to traverse these times and come out on the...
Everyone probably can agree that we are living in strange times... new experiences, new attitudes, new challenges. But we can be encouraged in remembering that everything is always in flux, everything changes.
We are all here for a purpose... You may have grandiose ideas of what a life purpose "should" be... saving the world, the whales, the humans, the rainforests, etc. However, our life purpose is probably best expressed in what brings us joy... It could be...
This week we ask ourselves "Who Am I?" and what does it mean (for me) to be human? It is time to change our perspective of who we thought we were (small, limited, powerless victims) to embracing our full potential -- this is what life is about.
This week we focus on seeing things differently... Rather than seeing through the lens of our old beliefs and expectations, we can shed the "old persona" and take on the "new and updated" version of ourselves. The one that sees the potential for love and healing in all situations.
Even while the world is practicing separation with social distancing and masks, we are realizing more and more that there is no separation and that we are all closely connected. What one does affects the other. This week...
This week we focus on looking at things differently which involves changing our perspective about our own self, as well as about the world around us.
This week, we focus on new beginnings... having a new attitude to create new possibilities and new realities. The expression that came to mind as I started to write this was: "Out with the old and in with the new." Speaking of new, this month...
"What the world needs now is love, sweet love. No, not just for some, but for everyone." (Lyrics from the song: What The World Needs Now Is Love). The above song, written in 1965, still resonates and is still a needed message for all. It is our theme for the week.
This week the newsletter is a "minimal version" of itself. Next week, we expect to be back on schedule.
We, as individuals, as a society, and as a planet, are in a state of transition. With the many challenges taking place on the planet, we are transitioning from one way of life, one way of behavior, to a new way. Transition (change) can bring upheaval. This week we bring you various ways to navigate these times.
The "motto" of InnerSelf.com is "New Attitudes -- New Possibilities". And that is definitely what is at stake on a world-wide basis at this time. Attitudes have to change in order for new possitilities to emerge and for the world to change for the better.
