Make this day be every day, in the tenderness in your heart, in your compassion for others, in your ability to give and receive, symbolic of what it means to be a human being on a spiritual journey. Absent of religion this day represents a spark of hope, so make an effort to extend your good wishes beyond just this day. As you seek balance remember that what this day represents must become part of the balance so that all days are special and yet so that no one day is more special than another, yet all are meaningful and important. Remain steady on your path of heart all days of your life and good tidings will flow upon you and into your heart.

Move always onward, taking what you have learned forward with you, allowing it to guide and direct you. Assimilate your lessons and with compassion for self and other become a journeyer, moving onward without regret or anger. Allow yourself the luxury of the spiritual path, seeking always the embodiment of the true self, of your wholeness, heaven and earth combined within the one being that you are.

In times of turmoil or strife, your focus on maintaining balanced spiritual wholeness will guide and instruct. Even if you are uncertain, look always inward and the answers will be found. In balance will earth become solid and clear and heaven become open and abundant. This is what you seek, the magic of both worlds experienced simultaneously. It is not a path for the weak of heart, but it is a path for everyone, that everyone has access to. The choice is yours. To take the real journey that awaits is to choose the path between heaven and earth. It lies waiting for all to find and to walk upon. Are you ready?

Watch your thoughts; they can trap you into thinking what you should not. They can keep you attached to old ideas of self and others. They can control, prohibit, and inhibit you to the point where you are closed off and unavailable to participate in and enjoy life.

‘Tis the season to be jolly, but how can you be jolly when you are so disturbed, so sad, so desirous of that which you do not have. Look upon all that inhibits you as mere fluff, thoughts that are meaningless. Try letting them go and see what happens.

With empty mind you might discover the bliss of pure being. And for all it’s worth, in that moment of bliss of pure being, even if it only lasts for a moment at a time, is a moment when you touch the divine. All of this within the self! See what riches lie within?

Remain independent. Remain centered in self, pondering always who you are, why you are there, seeking always your singular path of heart. You are as individual as the next person and although you may pair up with another and travel together through life remain always a solitary being. For those granted a solitary life of aloneness, take you solitariness as a gift and use it to your advantage. Find your freedom and your uniqueness in where you are. For those entwined with another your charge is twofold, to remain entwined and yet to also disentangle yourself and be the solitary self on an individual journey. Both paths, that of the solitary being and that of the entwined ones, present unique problems to contend with.

Take your challenges as your greatest tools of learning, your teachers par excellence! Accept the path you are now on, keeping always in mind that thoughts keep you stuck and are meant to be challenged. Be fully open to the unfolding of your personal path. Remember that paths cross, split, and converge endlessly, and thus life offers constant change. Be the best student of the life you are now in and remain open to the changes that meet you as you take your journey so that you may always flow with the changes in your life. This is how to evolve and be open to what comes to change you and your life path.
