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.

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.

It’s never too late to take a different path, to find a path of heart, a path that seeks love, compassion and kindness as its moral principles rather than greed and selfishness. A path of heart includes a nonjudgmental way of life. For once upon a path of heart it becomes clear that you are just one of the many on the same path through life, that all are as one, seeking to fulfill life in the best way possible. But a path of heart is a path of awareness and that is the difference between that and any other path. For once you have awareness then everything is meaningful in the context of past, present and future karma. Once upon a path of heart no other path will do.

Keep your head on. Remain levelheaded and soberly contained no matter what comes to challenge you. To go off your rocker, so to speak, never helps anyone, especially you. Contain your anger at the world and discover its roots in yourself, for everything that triggers you on the outside is only reflecting something going on inside you. Turn inward and investigate. The world would certainly be a calmer, more peaceful place if more people did just that.

Focus on what is going right in your life rather than on what is going wrong. Incline toward the positive rather than the negative. Lean toward looking ahead rather than looking at what you did not get right, do right, or say appropriately. Everyone makes mistakes. Accept your role in the unfolding of your life and look forward to playing a new role in the days to come. It will do you good to be humble.
