Let not old sorrows and grievances keep you from moving on when the time is right. To stay behind for the wrong reasons confounds life no end. Moving on comes when the time is ripe for new adventures, and staying then only makes matters worse. The light of each new day shines upon all, the light of the sun knows no bounds, the light offers itself to everyone. No matter the circumstances you find yourself in, there is always a way out. Follow and use the light of each new day to find your way. Let the light in, and see what happens.

Containment. The times call for containment, restraint, holding back that which desires to leap forth. It is not leaping forth time. It is the time of containment. It is time to close the eyes and draw inward to contemplation and inner vision. In this manner encircle the self, protect the self, engage the self in the greatest challenge there is, facing the truths of the self, directly, within. Eventually containment brings contentment. Contentment brings peace. Peace brings love. Love is all that matters.

The truth will set you free. And what is that truth? It is the truth of all that you keep hidden from yourself, all that lies behind your thoughts about yourself and the actions you take every day to remain in denial. End denial, arrive at truth. That means going through the pain of confrontation and reconciliation as you seek to know yourself on ever-deepening levels. And in the end, you will not only be free but have a pretty good companion to roam freely with—your liberated self!

Watch your energy, how you spend it, how you share it and with whom, what you get for it and how much you give away. Notice when your energy feels depleted and when it feels renewed. Like money in the bank there is only so much. Make it last. Let it mature and grow within you and it will serve you better than any cash reserve. Energy, it’s what makes you tick. Guard it and protect it. Don’t give it away unnecessarily or with abandon. You need it. Time to save? Or time to spend? Pay attention to what your energy tells you to do. It is contemplation that is well worth it, short term and long term!

Find your way to balance. With patience, self-discipline, and moderation as your guiding principles seek the Middle Way in all things. It may take some training to get there, but keep in mind that it is the training for a lifetime of measured grace and stability, enjoyment and bliss, calmness and serenity. What would be bad about that! Let the training begin!
