In troubled times, whether inner or outer, step back for moments of rest and retreat. Take time out for moments of detachment, for moments of stillness and reflection. When things are not going as you would like, find time to discover why you are confronted with change and how a new twist in life, a sudden change in plans allows something new to enter your life. There are no wrong turns, just different ones. Slow down, breathe, and look calmly for your next step. Even in the darkness you can see. Even in the midst of chaos there is order. Even among the sands of turmoil lies a path with heart. Go there!

Like waves on the ocean, life is full of ups and downs. Why make more? Why make it harder for yourself when life offers enough hardships. Find peace and calmness from the hardships of life in simple doings; read a good book, get creative, take a walk, look at the night sky, talk to someone nice. Ship off the hardships of life on a boat of dreams at night and dream that a new ship arrives at dawn’s early light. All things pass, all things change, all things eventually sail on. In the meantime foster change within, and change without will soon come too. Your new ship will arrive. It’s just the way it is. Don’t miss it. Make things right within so that you are really ready to receive it, happily waiting on the shore to greet it! Happy sailing!

Changing times call for inner change, for each individual to change too, to let go of old ideas of the self and others, to release old childish voices and needs, to move beyond that which may leave one stranded and left behind while everything and everyone else moves on. Changing times call for bravery, stability, and maturity as the changes that come unbidden are faced, embraced, and allowed to become the seeds of new growth, the air of new ideas, the light of new life. Change is always here, knocking at the door every day, asking you to come on out and join it. And change is good!

Change is cyclical, the urgency and desire for change natural. Like a farmer preparing the soil for planting, prepare the self for planting new seeds of change. Get the self ready to bring forth new ideas and new energy to support a changing self, for all of nature seeks change, evolution, and new growth and you are no different. Like a tree firmly rooted, reaching its branches to the sky, so does a new seed seek both the nurturance of the soil and the sky, the dark and the light. A human being is no different from the rest of nature, for some part of you seeks always something new. Even if you won’t admit it or don’t allow for it, there is a part of you always seeking something new. And what is that? Well, it’s You of course, a deeper, higher Self, and you don’t even have to leave home to find it!

Real change involves sacrifice. Something must give for something new to take. Something must go for something new to come. Room must be made for something new. With every sacrifice comes a new opportunity. But real change lasts only as long as the intent lasts, only as long as you remain conscious that: “I am changing, I am a changing being.” Staying constantly conscious of the changing process, of each sacrifice and each opening into which something new may step, is the key. Staying conscious is itself a constant sacrifice of all that comes to interrupt the process, and yet such sacrifice is the redemptive process, for it is the opening that is needed for change to step in and takes its place. You can’t have one without the other. Change, you have to give in order to get!
