Yes, I know, the old saying is, "Put a Tiger in your tank". This usually meant, "Buck up, Buster. Be tough. Step on someone's toes if you need to. Attack your competition if you want to get ahead. Take all the glory."
You recognize all of this rhetoric, right?
But let me ask you, "How far has a Tiger in our tank taken us in terms of making the world a better place for our children?"
Sorry to say, but for the most part we have failed our kids. I'm not being pejorative. I'm simply reminding us of the evidence presented in my articles on "Earth Emergency".
For sure, we have many successes to report such as the rise of organic foods (thank God because who wants to eat chemicals), the comeback of the ancient healing power of roots and herbs like dandelion, turmeric and ginger, and a renewed determination by married couples to keep their families together. So many blessings.
While we acknowledge that having a Tiger in our tank can be useful for making wrongs right, sometimes the Tiger can be violent as we see in some parts of the world.
Maybe we need a kitten there instead.
Are you saying, "But Betska, the kitten in this picture almost looks like a tiger what with stripes and all." Hmmm.
The posture though is not one of submission but one of, "Okay, I'm ready. Let's play together to find some answers." The posture could also mean that the kitten is ready for prayer time. So sweet.
So what would a Kitten in our Tank look like?
Three descriptors come to mind:
1. The Kitten in our Tank would be extremely grateful for everything in their life and give thanks every single day for their blessings.
2. The Kitten in our Tank would be determined to make this world a better place for our kids by taking the lead to make right the many wrongs we have created.
3. The Kitten in our Tank would be prayerful knowing that the average human brain/mind still needs great support to evolve from its limited understanding of how to access pure genius.
BE GRATEFUL
The more grateful we are, the more miracles we will see. Why? Because, 'Like begets like.'
Anytime we do something good, we can thank God for giving us a chance to be a better person, to be a role model of a noble person.
Whenever we are happy, we can thank God for this happiness!
Before we go to bed or first thing in the morning we can thank all of creation for the blessings in our life … we can thank all the trees, the plants, the Earth, the air, the Sun, the Moon, the stars, all the deities that bless us, the angels, and all the animals ...
I thank Business World readers for all of your kind deeds this day. :
Make The Wrongs, Right
What is a so-called 'wrong' in your world? Will your city soon run out of water? Are the rich not paying their fair share of taxes? Do the street people have nowhere to sleep at night? Do a large number of children in your city/country go hungry most days? Are humans still brutally killing animals? Are your farmers still using dangerous chemicals to grow the fruits and vegetables you feed your family?
While the Tiger might fight back and go for the kill, the Kitten will gather a team of the most compassionate and intelligent people to influence positive change.
Be Prayerful
Indeed, in my business I have very clear research/knowledge to categorically say, "Humans have so little understanding of their genius within." We are powerful beyond measure; however, we happily play small.
As Kittens, let's pray for guidance. Let's pray for humans to wake up to their immense power. Imagine if we all woke up to how smart we really are? Imagine if we all recognized the destructive effects of corruption, dishonesty and greed? Imagine if our prayers were answered and we created Heaven on Earth. Imagine being so happy inside that all children, in every country, go to bed every night with enough food, water and shelter.
In the wild, Tigers are known for being solitary animals. However, the Kitten loves to play with others and be with people.
Join us. Let's play! We'll keep our claws in, and therefore our tiger stripes won't rule. I would be grateful for that.
