With the speed of information in the world, it is challenging to get a sense of what is going to become widely adopted in our culture versus popular for the moment. When it comes to incorporating information and discerning for ourselves if it is a fit for us, it is easy to get caught up in trends. Learning to distinguish between the trends and the mainstays is about knowing the prevalence of energy within our own being. Choosing to incorporate a prevalent trend is about whether it matches the prevalence of who we are growing ourselves to be. It is not about acceptance or denial. It is about paying attention to the resonance of the trend as well as what is presented at face value. God invites me often to listen and pay attention to what is being shown in the world as prevalent and just notice within myself what deserves my attention. When we know the prevalence of who we are being, we can know how to approach the latest thing and determine if it is a good match for us or not.
