What sets us apart from the animal world? It is our ability to make mindful decisions. We can make choices that overlook our momentary wants and desires, giving thought to the greater good. We do it all the time, sometimes because we know the consequences when we don’t play by the rules, and other times we choose what we know in our heart is the right thing to do.
In the Mayan Tzolkin calendar today we look at the combination of 6 Kan, the seed. We are the product of our own creativity, laying down the seeds for tomorrow. Sometimes we balk at the idea that what we do right now will matter, but it does. We take steps, we make choices every minute of the day. For each action we imprint upon our minds the choice we made, and with enough impressions we create a pattern.
What sets us apart from the animal kingdom is what also sets us apart in our own society. Look at those who find success in any field. What sets us apart is our ability to look beyond the easy choices of this moment and focus on direction, purpose, value and benefit.
What can we do today to strengthen ourselves, using the reminder of 6 Kan, the seed a pointer? I think the key is remembering that we alway do have a choice, and that like any muscle we can exercise that ability to make a wise decision.
