There can be no doubt while being present and aware. Doubt
is an internal process that obstructs our awareness. We can only hope to open
up to our innate awareness when we’re completely present. And, it is our
presence and awareness that frees us from the shackles of our ignorance
We have to be okay with being mistaken, as it is the only pathway to being rid of it. Truth isn’t something we can ever learn; it is something we already are. What we must learn is to trust in our innate awareness once again.

Despite the potential for mistakes, which will absolutely happen,
we have to let go of being right as much as we have to let go of others being
wrong. It is our unwillingness to broaden our understanding and being curious of
alternative perspectives that strengthens division and derision, first with
ourselves but with others as well.
We can only ask to do more with each and every moment. This
begins with ourselves and extends to our surroundings, ultimately spreading to
others. Reverberations and reactions should be expected as part of the cause
and effect nature of reality. However, if we maintain our presence and awareness,
we will be able to learn, adapt and broaden our understanding in these
aftereffect moments.
Removing doubt with the intention of expanding awareness and
ridding ignorance is a very empowering and potentially transformative endeavor.
We take this as lightly as we do seriously. None of what we do is to abuse
ourselves or others. Our intensity and passion are wonderful and powerful
motivating forces. Use this as momentum when the world becomes static or
resistant.
The world is often a mirror of our self. If the reaction we’re
experiencing from the world is creating unbelievable frustration and anger
within us, this is usually a sign that we’ve become static and resistant. When this inevitably happens, “they just don’t get it!” seems to apply
and anger begins to boil, this is the time to remember we take this as lightly as we do seriously.
Challenging our own status quo is very difficult. When we do
that, we’re also challenging the status quo of everyone that is in our life. We
must have patience for ourselves and for everyone else during such upheaval.
When we do, it’s ok. When others do, that’s ok too.
If we continue to make the most of each moment, we will
encounter difficulty. If we don’t, we will encounter difficulty as well. The
only difference is our effort and willingness to adapt and learn. If we’re
attempting to broaden our understanding, we at least have an opportunity to
decrease our suffering moving forward. That seems worth the effort.
