Going high is like drawing a line in the sand, a boundary we make visible and then consider &#8211;&nbsp;which side of this do I want to be on? It\u2019s a reminder to pause and be thoughtful.&nbsp;Going high is something you do rather than merely feel.&nbsp;It\u2019s about how to \u2018fight\u2019, how we go about trying to solve the problems we encounter and how we sustain ourselves long enough to be effective rather than burn out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_93776\" style=\"width: 1152px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2022\/12\/Thoughts4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-93776\" class=\"size-full wp-image-93776\" src=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2022\/12\/Thoughts4.jpg\" alt=\"Go High - How to Be Above It All; Make sure your mind always remains in a high place\" width=\"1142\" height=\"800\"><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-93776\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Brahma Kumaris Illustration.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cFor me, going high usually involves taking a pause before I react.&nbsp;It is a form of self-control, a line laid between our best and worst impulses. Going high is about figuring out how to respond with a clear voice to whatever is shallow and corrosive around you. It\u2019s what happens when you take a reaction and mature it into a response, in the direction of a larger solution.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBe careful about letting emotions guide you. Rage can be a dirty windshield. Hurt is like a broken steering wheel. Disappointment will only ride, sulking and unhelpful, in the back seat. If you don\u2019t do something constructive with them, they\u2019ll take you straight into a ditch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To uplift someone, \u2018go high\u2019.
