Today your job is to respond kindly, not to react negatively. Your job is to keep yourself from being edgy, reacting sorely to every little thing that comes into your awareness. Today, your job is to respond peacefully, not allowing yourself to get irritated by everything that you see and hear on the news, everything that pops up on social media, or any words that you hear in conversation. Your job is to respond lovingly to people, to animals, to situations, and to yourself, not to react in fear, contempt, or judgement. Your job is to respond with more humor, to make light out of what only seems serious to the ego. Your job is to respond with more kindness, not to react with anymore anger and frustration.
Do your job today, your real job. Do it well, and do it by being alert, calm, focused, and non-reactionary. No-one can stop you from doing your job today (your real one). You really just have one job to do, it’s not that hard, if you focus. You just have to remember that the quality of your day will depend on how well you respond to everything that comes up. Rather than being reactionary, just respond with love, even if it means saying “no,” or if it means calming down, before you respond. Just respond peacefully, even to challenging situations – you can do it. Don’t react, respond – even if that response is silence. Respond calmly, with centered focus, and you’ll begin to see how much drama the ego-mind tries to create. But your job is to be the peacemaker. It’s your ego that loves reacting to everything. Don’t give into it, today. Respond with care, and you’ll notice a huge difference in your day. So focus on your real job, and the rest will seem like cake.
