Justin Baldoni Instagram – Think See Choose Be Love How the hell do we “be love” in times like this? I’m not sure about you, but I’m feeling so much these days. It’s almost like everywhere I turn there is an injustice happening that someone, somewhere is justifying. It breaks my heart. So much pain everywhere. So many people profiting off of the viewing of that pain. What do I say? What can I do? I’m just trying to be enough for my own family. I’m exhausted. And then I think about what a privilege it is to be exhausted. To be able to choose what I do or don’t do. Or what I talk or don’t talk about when so many are shouting- unheard for basic human rights. For the right to live. To survive. To even have the chance to “be”. But while exhaustion is a real thing, giving up hope is not an option. The world needs me & you to keep going. To keep fighting. But that can and should look different to EVERYONE. For some it’s a post. For others it’s a small private act. And for others it’s a protest. Regardless the world needs all of us to show up in whatever way we can, and only God can know and judge our individual capacities. But how do we “be love” in times like this? It starts with changing our thoughts. With thinking. Remembering the things we are grateful for. Thinking of and counting our blessings no matter how large or small they are. Then once we start to THINK, we can begin to SEE. The seeing isn’t just literal…it’s spiritual. Seeing love is a choice. Two can look at the same situation and see completely different things. We can choose to see with love. The glass can always be half full. And even when it’s not we can find a way to appreciate the glass’ capacity to be full. Once we think and see, we can then CHOOSE in any situation to act with LOVE over FEAR. What if we freed ourselves from the shackles of fear and began to truly choose love? How would we live differently? What would the world look like? Love is a choice we all have the privilege of making. And finally…we can begin to BE LOVE. But what does it mean to “be love?” Just look in the mirror. YOU already are LOVE. There’s nothing else to try and be. BE you. Be LOVE. We need that now more than ever. Wayfarer Studios
