Innocence

What can be done when there are moments that we believe that either we are managing our lives or unable to grasp a situation that we are indeed focused to solved? Are we feeling and acting in a way that represents or factually adheres to who and what we are? Is the action of channeling what is affecting or inciting changes in our environment being handled with the understanding that there is no physical or intangible manner in which it can be manipulated by any means entirely?

*(To every palpable situation there is an abstract perspective)*

Clarity of thought is a subject that is easier to listen to, rather than, putting it into practice. Still, on our lives daily mission to excel and persevere on it, this is not a matter of choice. If self-discipline and cordial relations with the world are of interest to us, we will adhere to conscious impartiality or thinking with a clear mind. Not having a clear awareness of all that is happening around us is in reality our fault and anything positive or negative that stems from that, is by default ours to own, with no questions, no buts, or no celebrations either (*we will celebrate the good occasions we are humans after all and is suggested to indulge in positivity*).

In essence, what we need to create is a routine (*mental one*) that is always scanning *(awareness*) for those moments when we tend to be hasty and jump to conclusions. Thinking before acting or speaking has to become second nature while is understood and accepted that it is hard and not an easy task to perform. Numerous individuals do not practice the habit of thinking before speaking and have the common miscalculation of just reacting in an unwanted manner to situations. Regardless of intentions in any given moment, the daily mission is to remain aware of our environment and always hold ourselves in check before interacting at any level with individuals or situations alike.

Running into problems is a day-by-day aspect of life that we all encounter and it is what unconsciously motivates and pushes us to expand our consciousness unconsciously, (*no pun intended*). Understanding that fact is extremely relevant to the higher self because aids in promoting the ability to be as neutral/clear as possible in any and all situations to subjugate doubt, miscommunication, or seeding the wrong impression of us onto others. It is equally important to remember and engrave in our minds that there is no mission in our life's to live without mistakes or errors. On the contrary, those are welcome and required for us to solidify and continuously reinforce our foundation of values, morals, and ethics but also learn and teach our children as a consequence of lived experiences.

Innocence is that harmless and pernicious state that manifests itself by carrying with it wonder, doubt, and ignorance with radical challenges that are indeed the most extreme or simplistic lessons ever taught to us. It is also the precursor to a wide range of mannerisms that indulge our lack of awareness or conscious interactions. Frequently, innocence is the predominant reason why we fall prey to our reactive responsiveness towards a number of occurrences that we would rather not be near them. It can be precisely described as our **innocence of thought** (*is not that we want to be naïve or harsh, we just simply react*). Our intent to positively engage in a subject is often overshadowed by an unbridled eagerness to swiftly deliver a response (*but due to the fact that we "do not think before speaking*) forgoing that could tend to hold hostage our encapsulated minds from realizing unintended consequences. Meaning that reality is concealed from us, therefore, an opportunity is lost as we can repeat old tendencies (*making mistakes or reprehensible gaffes*); in default of, exercising basic routines by analyzing and processing information prior to spewing our thoughts out.

One of the most challenging and meaningful suggestions that we can adhere to and practice is; to listen and accept situations as they come understanding that those happened or will happen. Additionally, no matter how large, grave, simple, or shape of the situation or even it's materialization to us, it will simply be solved, in one moment and one day at a time.

(*innocence of thought is not negative a construct; our self-awareness must be cultivated and nurture aiming to social and personal peaceful interactions*).

And please, no situation should change your ability to remain neutral, aware and innocent of thought. Sometimes simply choosing and permitting yourself to act naturally or innocently is graceful and enlightening.
