Sometimes it seems as if the world has turned into a bad science fiction movie starring authoritarian presidents, fear, and chaos. Like a Netflix series you accidentally started watching and now can’t escape. Yet, here’s the good news: the remote control is right there in your hands.
We often forget that we always have a choice in how we perceive the world and how we respond to it. As A Course in Miracles reminds us: ‘Choose again.’ Every situation, no matter how chaotic, offers us the opportunity to make a new internal choice.
When you watch the news, it might feel as though the world is spiraling out of control, but remember this: nothing real can be threatened. This isn’t a passive acceptance of wrongdoing; rather, it’s an active, loving choice to place inner peace at your core.
Imagine being angry all day because the weather forecast predicted rain. How sustainable is that? Exactly—it’s exhausting and pointless. The chaos of the world is similar: instead of resisting what you see, consciously choose again. Choose peace instead of conflict. Choose love instead of fear.
You might be wondering, ‘But what difference can I make alone?’ More than you imagine! Your inner state shapes how you experience and influence the world. Every loving thought, every kind gesture, and every smile has far more power than an angry tweet or heated debate.
So, what if today you decide to make love your new default mode? You are not naïve or blind to issues, but you consciously choose peace within yourself because that’s where genuine change begins.
So, feel free to hit pause, turn off that chaotic series for a moment, take a deep breath, and choose again. Choose love, choose peace, and yes—even a touch of humor, because humor reminds us life isn’t as serious as it seems.
The choice is always yours, and that choice makes all the difference.
With love and light,
