Do you really need so much? Keep yourself modest all of your days and discover what really matters. Matters of the heart, matters of the body, matters of the mind are perhaps more important than matters of desire or greed. In modesty find balance, in excess none at all. In modesty find your feet on the ground and take a breath of fresh air knowing that what you seek is within you, not far nor impossible to achieve but right there ready to greet you. In modesty know yourself and others as beings of the Great Mother and find all that you need at your fingertips. In modesty work hard, live fully, and learn as much as you can so that you may take your place upon that Great Earth aware of who you are and conscious of all that is offered. In modesty live a good and fulfilling life, fully aware that modesty offers quite a lot indeed!

Learn to move on, living life to the fullest with no regrets, resentments or grudges, for it does you no good to harbor ill will, bad feelings, or negative attitudes. Such arbitrary energies keep you captive, a prisoner of your own ideas and ideals, blocking you from fuller experiences of life on earth. Instead, shed your supposed obligations to a self who does not deserve too much attention, the hurt self, the offended self, the self who thinks it deserves better. In truth, you are a being who is going to die, and until you realize that you may not appreciate who you really are, what you have, nor where you are in life. Until you accept your fate (and it is the same for everyone) you may not accept your life. But once you do, love it all, with no regrets, ’cause it’s all you got! If you can live your life in that manner it will be a good life indeed!

Find your way to inner peace and calm no matter what is going on outside of you. It’s the only way to stay stable and sane. It’s not selfish but necessary in times of turmoil. And yet, do not be so inward turned as to miss the important things in life, especially the call to make changes that are beneficial, to move on when necessary, and to grow beyond where you are now. For even in inward turning, changes are expected if the inner process is to have impact. Otherwise it’s just another cover for not doing what needs to be done, for not facing what must be faced, and that will benefit no one. The charge of life is always to grow and change. It’s what the world is doing all the time, especially in times of turmoil, pushing for change. Let the self be still but never asleep. Let the self be calm but never inert. Let the self be inward turned but stay alert and aware, and never stop growing. For growth is the creative urge in all of life and that’s exactly what’s called for now!

Sit calmly. Breathe. Let your mind be still. Let your body rest. Let your energy flow naturally throughout your body, bringing loving kindness to yourself. Let your brain be silent, your thoughts cease, your worries titrate down to nothing more than a simmering breeze. In this manner temper your suffering, reduce your anxiety, turn down your inner patter, your judgments, your condemnations of self and other. None of these things really exist; they are mere inventions of your mind seeking resolution, but you will not find resolution there. The mind is a dead end street. Instead let your spirit find you once again in the house of your physical body where it has been wandering and waiting. Let it greet you and take you down the streets of calmness, even as you become active again. Let yourself be whole in this way, in companionable silence within the quiet self!

Be responsible. Hold yourself accountable for your actions, but do not be so harsh and restrained that you do not relax and enjoy life. There is a time and a place for everything and sometimes it’s time to play, even with abandon. Sometimes it’s just time to relieve yourself of all the restrictions you place upon yourself, all the demands you make of yourself, all the ideas you have constellated about yourself. Sometimes life calls out to you and asks: “What are you holding onto so hard and why?” The time will come when life will ask you to be different, do different, accept different, to let go and live anew with a new attitude and a new state of mind. Are you ready? Is it time?
