New beginnings mark the passage of time but also the passage of human inclinations, desires, and promises. To hold oneself to a promise of change is a noble thought but to act upon it is a challenge that over the passage of time may prove impossible. Far better to make no strict promises but to live every day in the moment, learning to stay aware of what is important and what isn’t, to act instead of promise, to do rather than say, to be alive in each breath as much as possible. Rather than mark a beginning, mark an ever-evolving moment in time.

Let not fear, complacency or habit keep you from greater exploration, experience and expression of life. Find a happy medium where nothing rules or overrules you but everything has its place. Turn inward more often to achieve the balance you so desire. Turn on your creativity and allow it a place in your life so that you are actively participating in a way that is nurturing to your soul. You have so much you want to do, say and create. Why not just do it? What have you got to lose? The only loss is to yourself, in the loss of your self-expression, and such loss inhibits your growth and explorative possibilities. It might just be time to go full force into that which you really want to do, for your own sake this time.

Sending you love,

Remain grounded in knowing that your life’s mission is revealed every day in the things you are presented with, challenged with, and forced to face, the little incidences that bother you and the big proposals that stump you. Your goal in life is to face life and embrace life, to overcome your fears and undo your entanglements so that you may fully live in joy and contentment but always eager for life’s next challenge. Fulfillment is not material but spiritual, the sense that you have done what you came to do and done it well. Concentrate on that, doing it well.

Sending you love,

Keep things simple. Why complicate life when it is unnecessary to do so? Remain simple, honest and straightforward in everything you do and say. In everything you think and contemplate, remain on the side of the positive and upwardly focused so that you remain inspired and elated by life rather than defeated by it. What you think matters, for it constructs your whole attitude about life and your attitude about life can either make you or break you. Keep things simple and on the up and up and your life will flow effortlessly. As you learn to go with the flow so will life go with the flow of you and your intent.

Sending you love,

Let not your complacency keep you from your true path of heart. It’s okay to be lazy once in a while but a real warrior knows that a path of heart can only be traveled with awareness, and awareness takes alertness that is focused and intentional. Be alert each and every day to the signs and synchronicities that are present in your life, seeking to guide you in the direction that is most fulfilling, beneficial, and meaningful. Open your eyes and ears, look around you, and notice that life is so much more than you normally perceive; it’s magical.
