There is a Glitch in the Software

Good day Beloved,

Have you ever felt like you woke up in a place in your life that you think you are not ready for? You know what I am saying? Like there is a glitch in the software of your day. Have you ever said something like “I woke up on the wrong side of the bed?” Some days we feel a bit off for no reason we can put our finger on. Maybe this just happens to me, but I doubt it.

I have worked customer service long enough to know there are plenty of people who should be sent back to their rooms until they can control themselves and behave properly in public. Take time to fix the glitch in their software. I am learning the hard lesson of overcoming glitches in my own software it seems these days.

Due to some medical/physical issues I have been trying to do my job while in extreme pain. Not that long ago I was asked by someone I respect a great deal what was going on with me because I was behaving a bit surly and unlike my usual customer service-oriented self. I told him that I was simply letting pain get in my way. Pain is often the glitch in my software.

How about you? Do you have a glitch in the software that is difficult to repair or work around? Do you know what the glitch in your software is? Do you even know that you have one? If you are human you have one.

It was set into motion when the great fall happened with the beginning of time as we know it. Sometimes the glitch is deep in the meta data of our makeup and sometimes the glitches are closer to the surface of who we are. We go through experiences that put a bit of a kink in our armor.

It is the “how” we respond that determines the degree of “glitch” we deal with from that moment on. Beloved, I am certain that at some point in your life you have asked the proverbial question of “why”. We humans spend so much time and energy looking for some “place” or some “one” to envelop the causal blame for the glitches. Whether we are aware of it or not.

Beloveds, what do think of the idea of stopping the search for the owner of blame and instead devote our efforts to searching for the best way to delete, repair, or work around the glitch. In the end it really does not matter what or who caused the glitch. What matters is that we recognize it for what it is and make choices that minimize the effects of it in our worlds.

Remember Beloved, our worlds do not end where our noses do. Our world includes EVERYONE that we come close to. If you can hear them, if you can see them, if you know they exist on some level they are in your world. Do not blame the service worker or the “bad” neighbor for the glitches.

Beloved, I have a really big ask of you today. Beloveds are you willing to try to be a help to those in your world who are struggling with “glitches”. I often find being willing is half the battle. Take the risk of being willing and maybe your own glitch will lose some of its ability to mess with your day. I am not asking you to do anything other than “be willing”, what happens after that is not my place to say.

Beloved, blessed be…. Mona LangmaackMelin
