The Strategy of Softness - Thawing the Freeze Response Amidst the Global Winter

  December 5th. Afternoon. The afternoon stretches out slowly, gray and heavy, as if time itself has lost the desire to move forward, stalled in some intermediate zone of twilight and expectation. The light in the room is scarce, muted, and in this half-shadow, I sit and look at my hands. They are here, before me, physically present, yet I feel them strangely alien, as if the blood has retreated from them, afraid to reach the periphery of my being. They are cold. Not just superficially chilled, but deeply, bone-chillingly cold, as if they carry the memory of a long winter that is not a season, but a state of mind. My whole body is encased in an invisible embrace of ice, in a tormenting, paralytic state of 'not having.' Until now, I thought I was simply exhausted, that I had surrendered in the face of a difficult daily life. But today, in the heavy silence of this afternoon, as the street noise fades behind the windowpane, I grasped the cruel, yet liberating, truth about what ...

I stopped looking for the light. Decided to become it instead

 "I stopped looking for the light. Decided to become it instead." These words speak to a powerful shift in mindset, from one of passive searching to active creation.

When we are searching for something outside of ourselves, whether it be #love, #happiness, #success, or even #enlightenment, we can feel as if we are constantly chasing after something that is just out of reach. We may find ourselves feeling #frustrated, #disappointed, and even #hopeless.

But what if we could turn that search inward, and realize that we have the #power to create the very thing we are seeking? What if we could become the light we have been searching for?

This #shiftinperspective requires a #willingness to take #responsibility for our own lives and our own happiness. It requires us to stop looking for #externalvalidation or #approval and instead to cultivate a deep sense of #selfworth and #selflove.

When we become the #light, we radiate positivity, love, and #compassion. We #inspire others to do the same and create a ripple effect of positivity in the world. By choosing to embody the qualities we wish to see in the world, we become a force for #change and #transformation.

So, if you find yourself feeling lost or searching for something outside of yourself, remember that the light you seek is within you. It is up to you to cultivate it, nurture it, and share it with the world. Choose to become the light and watch as your life and the world around you transforms.
