Self-regulation takes discipline. Discipline takes commitment. Commitment takes effort. And effort takes heart, a path of heart to be exact. A path of heart encompasses effort, commitment, discipline and self-regulation. If you are to progress, really progress toward a more spiritually balanced state that is active and in constant motion then attention to these details will aid you. Look to the wise heart within, to the calm mind and the vigor of your spirit to gain the perfect balance of self-regulation that is right for you personally, within and without. It’s just about getting to know the self in a deeper and calmer way, so that happiness, contentment and balance may become the norm.

Sending you love,

Find balance within the self rather than looking outwardly. What is outside of you is merely reflecting what you think you need, while what is inside you is the barebones truth. Sometimes the truth is too hard to accept so time is spent avoiding it. But in the end, the only place to go for real and deep resolution to what ails you is inward.

Do you feel left out of life, neglected, rejected, left behind? Rather than feel that life is not treating you well, look to yourself and question what you are supposed to be learning in this life. Is it to give rather than receive? To learn compassion for others? To get over self-importance? With a calm and quiet heart, meditate upon the suffering of others for a change and figure out a way to give so that the world may be a better place. With your heart in the right place you can indeed make a difference in someone else’s life, thus making a difference in your own as well.

Is it time to give rather than spending your time and energy trying to get?

Sending you love,

The time eventually comes when there is no path visible except that of acquiescence. To acquiesce is not a failure but a logical next step as one faces a truth, either a truth from within or a truth from without, or perhaps a synchronous alignment of both something from within and something from without that will yield in no other way. Acquiescence then becomes the one and only step to take.

Acquiesce with awareness, just as nature’s seasons acquiesce to the new changes that a new season brings. Sometimes it’s just time to let go and take the next best step, whatever that may be. But with awareness you can choose the attitude you take and you can remain open to what will come next. For indeed, even in times of ending there is an opening to something new.

Notice how the changes in nature all around you may seem to occur suddenly but in reality have been undergoing transformation for a long time. Notice how nothing is hurried. Nature takes its time enacting its processes, letting things unfold naturally and without interference. Let your own inner process of change, of spirit transformation, progress naturally as well. To follow your spirit in life is to be as attuned to it and its needs as Mother Nature herself is to the needs of her plants and animals, letting them find their way each day to what is right for them in their slow progress through life. Pay attention to what your spirit needs and tells you in its natural flow through life and as it leads you to your own transformation.

Sending you love,
