Words matter. Watch what you say and how you say it. Speak out only when necessary, using your words wisely to influence not injure. Words are like caressing water or they are like sharp knives. They are meaningless or full of meaning, intelligent or empty. Let your words today be full of compassion, kindness, and awareness, allowing others to experience themselves as beings of import and gentleness through hearing your own sense of import and gentleness that you invoke through the words you choose to use.

Words have power. Use them wisely to create not destroy. Speak words of love not of hate. Speak words of conjugation not confrontation. Speak words of unity not derision or division. Speak words of healing, innerly and outerly, to self and other. Be careful what you say. It matters.

Each day you must make decisions in how to use your energy. A warrior does not expend energy unnecessarily, but a warrior is always ready to spring into action and always has enough energy to do so.

Problems that arise in life create the ebb and flow of energy inside and out and so, like a trained warrior, remain aware that there are times to fight and times to acquiesce, times to relax and times to be on alert, times to be present and times to disappear.

Look to what is happening outside of you to guide your decisions, actions, and personal energy usage. Like a warrior know what you are capable of and what is best left to others. Each warrior has a specialty and keeps that specialty honed. What is yours and how are you using it?

Life is all about gaining consciousness of self in the world as a physical, mental, spiritual, emotional being. Training begins immediately at birth, yet awareness of this most universal process often arrives late in life or not at all. And so awareness becomes the goal, that which leads to full consciousness.

Awareness may begin to be achieved by staying present in each moment of each day, knowing that it is all that matters, for all else has either already happened or has not yet happened and possibly never will and so has no importance.

Stay in the moment. It’s all that matters at this moment.

There is no cause for concern. Patience and diligent attention to details will solve all problems. Issues of concern, however, must be promptly attended to or they will escalate into unmanageable issues that will require more expensive expertise.

Prompt attention to issues that arise, whether internal or external, ensures speedy recovery.

Energy flows unceasingly. Blockages will obstruct that flow and thus issues arise. In order to continue along your path of heart, clear all blockages so that the good energy of now may flow unimpeded. This is the work of this day.
