A time of change and transition may cause deeper issues within the self to surface, previously unknown or unattended emotions, memories, or traumas. As changes without bring changes within submerged feelings may arise, truths may make themselves known. Coping with what comes is part of a process of change, requiring, as time goes on, attention to the self on many levels. You may feel strained or tired, but these are natural occurrences and should be accepted and dealt with as such.

Gentleness and kindness are good partners to invite along and cultivate as you journey on your path of change. Even while remaining on the new path, firmly grounded in new convictions and greeting the everyday experiences of these changing times, remain in alignment with the deeper self and the deeper intent and meaning of change: that it is leading you forward into new and vibrant life. A path of change may be the most difficult of paths, but it is also a selfless, courageous act, most beneficial for ALL of life.

Change requires patience. A period of adjustment may be needed and experienced, a time of confusion, until new balance is achieved. A warrior knows that making changes leads to everything else in life shifting and getting into alignment too, both within and without, moods and temperaments alike.

A warrior knows that change may be a precarious process, that there may be as many steps backwards as forwards, but a warrior is intent and soon is bounding forward totally changed by the thrill of the changing process itself.

Intention alone may be the instigator of change, but soon the momentum of the energy of change and the freeing rhythm of life take over and the old is left behind, rarely thought of or desired. A warrior is then catapulting forward, without a glitch, desirous only of what is to come, enjoying new life in every moment.

Let no obstacles come between you and your goal. Let not regrets mar your vision. Let no new discoveries bar your way. Allow your life to unfold with your full participation rather than fear, reluctance, or avoidance. It will be what it will be, but where will you be? Participatory, openly engaged with it? Or failing to see that it is as it is for your benefit?

A warrior knows that life is a lesson-filled journey, one of ups and downs, and yet a warrior looks always for the lessons of truth in the lessons of life. A warrior knows that no matter what happens all will resolve, all will evolve, and all will change and change again. There is no end, there are only beginnings. And so a warrior is always ready to accept each day’s challenges because a warrior knows that all are necessary, that life will bring important changes and learning possibilities so that life may unfold and growth may occur.

A warrior accepts and greets all challenges as if they were long lost friends, for a warrior knows they come with only the best of intentions.

In this time of turmoil, stand your ground. Remain firmly anchored in that which is true, knowing that such challenging times are agents, bringing changes that are perhaps unbidden and unexpected but profound and meaningful nonetheless. Ride through such changing times by bearing the tension and, without regret or remorse, finish unfinished business so that you may transform and move forward unencumbered and freed to take on life anew, with eagerness. Know that new life awaits all beings and that working through old issues and attachments will bring the freedom you seek.

Remain firmly grounded in your life, yet strive always toward new glories and new adventures. Go forward having left no unfinished business behind, renewed by the agents of change in your life, knowing that change is constant and change will come again. Something new and different will present itself soon enough and you will be ready to receive it because you have prepared yourself so well now during these times of turmoil and transformation.
