The intent to change requires effort. Restraint, self-control, and patience are the means by which what is most desired is attained. Responsibility for the self must be grasped for no one else can restrain, control, or apply the needed patience to another. Change has to also be deeply desired and all efforts consciously applied if anything is to happen, but take that first step and the journey begins!

There is no absolutely correct way to live and yet there are some good ideas floating around. However, it is the Eternal Self who knows how it wants to live and that is by its own yearnings. Listen carefully and you too will know the yearnings of your Eternal Self. And then strive to meet this Eternal Self on as many levels as possible that all that is right may take root and grow within you. That is the correct way to live!

Every day offers an opportunity to change. Too many rules may inhibit growth while too few may inhibit what is most needed. Sometimes what you do is the exact opposite of what you need. Sometimes to inhibit is good and sometimes it is not. It’s up to you to decide what is right for you and then actually do it. Today is another day of opportunity. Is it yours? Are you ready to take it?

Even on the coldest days stay connected to nature, for it is there that you will learn life’s greatest lessons. In the cycles of the moon, in the sun’s daily rising, in the sounds of the ocean’s waves, in the roots of the plants and trees, in the habits of all the creatures, in the beauty of the skies, in the rushing rivers and streams, in the light of day and the dark of night, in experiences of life and death, find who you are. For you too are nature first, as singularly awesome, as inspiring and beautiful. Find your connection to all that is outside of you and learn what it is to be at one within yourself too, with your surroundings and your own heart’s pulsing, for you are nature and nature is you. Respect and value nature. Respect and value yourself.
