Imagine if love were the world’s guiding principle. What then would happen to its opposite, hate? Would hate disappear, recoil into hidden recesses of the mind? It might fester like a bad wound, a cancer, until it sprang back to life, coming in many new forms, stronger than ever. Far better to deal with it now, head on, than hide it and hide from it. And what antidote, what medicine, what power do you use as you face hate? Love, of course! For as powerful as hate is when faced with enough love it will eventually melt its hard-hearted stance and transform into love-giving energy. Give it a change, give love a chance.

Provide the self with new initiatives each day as changes arise, as life unfolds, as challenges come, and as you acquiesce to life’s unbending intent to take you on your journey. Basically, if you learn to go with the flow, not giving in but giving it your all, your adventures in this lifetime will be all that you could want. What does that mean to you in your life, going with the flow? Give it a whirl and see what happens. Remember: you can’t stop what is bound to happen but you can take it on in a new way. That is going with the flow!

Beauty lies where you find it. It may be in something simple and sweet or it may be in something complicated and austere. It may be found in words, in thoughts, in deeds, in experiences of awe. But looking outwardly for beauty only lasts so long. Don’t forget to look inwardly at the beauty of you, and then don’t forget to let it live outwardly in all you do and say, from the most simple to the most profound, for your beauty within seeks expression without. Give it some attention and realize that beauty, in some form, really does exist in everyone, for it will come to greet you in so many unimaginable ways as you live the beauty of you. Beauty is not in the eye of the beholder, it is in the hearts of all beings.

Sit and let stillness find you. Breathe and let calmness enter you. Wait and let silence surround you. Be present and let knowledge embrace you, for it is in the calm stillness of nothingness that everything is to be discovered. Sit, breathe, wait, be, let it happen and it will. Patience.

What are you thinking? What are you telling yourself? What words are you using to describe yourself? Can you find some other thoughts to focus on, something more profound? Can you use different words, say something more positive, appealing, and provocative perhaps? Can you tell yourself a new story, give it a magical spin? Words and thoughts have power, but so do you. Use different words and thoughts today. Change them and change your attitude, your outlook, and your prognosis. Listen to yourself. If you don’t like what you hear, say something else. If you don’t like what you’re thinking, think something else. Change can be that simple!
