Good morning full of joy, happiness and hope!
Today in the world of sports, the echoes of Osaka’s women’s and Djokovic’s men’s victories can be heard all over the world.
I feel I should share something with those who wish to get it. Of course, what is shared is done with the utmost respect and it is merely a feeling or opinion. To begin with, I would like to comment on the situation we are currently living in as a society and mankind. There is a strong need to live it from the unity of love. We will take it up later if you wish.
Some years ago (10 – 12 approximately) I shared with several players I coached the idea that in this world we are very distracted and sometimes even absorbed by the different circuses that are offered to us. The tennis, motor racing, Formula One, football, world championships, Olympics, Superbowl, 5 nations circuses apart from the politic one and a long etcetera.
We do not realise that all of that what truly makes us is being entertained with those to feel identified with some of them and at the same time with some of their main roles (either team or player). Consequently, my attention is diverted from what really matters in my life, to observe myself and find those things that prevent me from living from that happiness and harmony that
I want, and I try to find through those circuses among other things without realising it. Hopefully, we are aware that the solution to my happiness and harmony in my life is not in those circuses and the way their employees or workers behave.
Are we aware that we become critical, often ruthless and cruel judges of these people, workers or employees without being conscious and that is what, as a HUMAN BEING, does not contribute to my happiness and harmony? Judging and criticising do not contribute to the human being that we all are, it is, therefore, more diminished and damaged. That is the temptation we fall into without noticing it when we get passionately involved in all the circuses that surround us.
May we reflect on the time I dedicate to circuses and therefore, the time I spend between judgments and criticisms?
And, on the other hand, how much time do I spend looking into myself to learn from those things that I still have to evolve? Giving me affection and understanding instead of judgement and criticism for having them. But we are so used to judging and criticising that I automatically do it to myself.
Let me use the example of the Australian Open circus through the male ‘winner’ as I am very close to him.
After winning the title, people talk about Novak’s harmony and calmness and Medvedev’s lack of them. It is judged what one had, and the other did not. If we reread what was written the previous days to the match, we will see that it was Medvedev who did not even get upset and was very well instead of Novak.
Judgements and criticisms every day no matter to whom but what always remains is exactly these judgements and criticisms…
Do we realise (and I am not exempted since I would have a great problem if I believed that) the lack of understanding and acceptance we have towards the divine and marvellous shortcomings of others and of course also towards ours?
These circuses may unwittingly lead us to judge and criticise everything that is not to our own liking; an ode to selfishness and egocentricity. I only defend or criticise what is important and convenient for me according to my own interest. We are unconscious of our own selfishness.
And I am saying this with the utmost respect and affection! It is a reality that we all barely have this selfishness and that is what really makes us suffer…
Since the title achievement, it would be very easy for me to praise and compliment Novak’s good tennis and emotional match in addition to having wone the title. And even more considering the professional and personal relationship we have, which is a wonderful one.
But I do not feel I should do it. What I do wish to do is to express my understanding and affection for Medvedev, because as a human being, he is not perfect and has felt the fears that distress and destabilise every one of them. Daniil, I feel and I wish to tell you that I understand and support you. Moreover, I am very grateful because thanks to your experience in yesterday’s match, the importance of treating me with love, respect and acceptance are further reinforced. That is to say, LOVE ME regardless of my successes or mistakes. Rather than telling you what you could not do, I thank you for reminding me what I should do and not telling you with judgements and criticisms what you should have done. How tempting it is to criticise and judge what others do not do instead of using that time and energy to observe myself and work on what I still must learn… THANK YOU,
Daniil with all my heart!
And THANK YOU VERY MUCH, Novak, not for yesterday’s match neither congratulate you for your victory, NO.
THANK YOU for working so hard, looking into yourself with more and more affection, respect, acceptance and love, making your divine and marvellous shortcomings fewer and weaker to give way to that light you have as every human being. You could have lost the match yesterday and I would have also thanked you because that inner work and evolution that you have been doing for years as a human being can be appreciated. I feel privileged to be able to witness it. I would also like to tell you that every time that harmony gets away from you for a moment and you feel a pinch of fury, I understand you perfectly and that is when I have the feeling of understanding and love towards you and that human part that is also yours but has less and less control over you.
Daniil, I do not know you personally but still, I feel tremendous respect and love towards you. THANK YOU again for being able to learn through you.
Back to the circuses, it does not mean they are wrong. What is important is that they do not steal us our part of light and humanity leading us into the darkness of selfishness, separation, struggle and war or fighting.
Having shared this, let us observe the social moment we are currently living in. In most cases, our life is very similar to the example of the circus we have been talking about, that is to say;
I have a belief (which is not the same as an opinion. An opinion lets the other person have one.
On the other hand, beliefs try to make others believe what I believe) and I want and try to make everyone believe in what I believe. For that reason, tension, separation, wars or fighting could appear.
I have an opinion and I live as such, but I respect and accept even if I do not agree with other people’s opinion.
In these hard times we are living, we need to be closer than ever despite our differences.
LOVE (respect and acceptance) must be our togetherness.
I send you a big hug full of respect, affection, acceptance and love!
I LOVE YOU
Peace & Love
