It is too early in the New Year for regret. It is too soon to revert to old ways. A warrior knows the power of intent. A warrior stays always on the path of strength and fortitude, taking up the weapons of consciousness and awareness, never taking attention off the task at hand, keeping alert to the winds that shift and change, bringing new challenges and new gifts. You too are a warrior, each day setting out upon the path you have chosen, finding your rewards in even the most subtle of accomplishments, in each small step you take. The warrior knows that things can change in an instant and so a warrior is always ready to jump into the rigors of life with renewed vigor. Things change every day. Get ready.

In these changing times your own needs for change may seem inconsequential, but this is never so, for change within the self is of the utmost importance. What part of yourself is reluctant to admit that change is necessary? What gets in the way of even your most serious endeavors? Where there is a will there is a way, but the way may not be easy. Change comes about as a result of the challenges you pose to yourself and the actions you take. Inspire yourself each day with each breath you take and each step that moves you forward. One step at a time, take charge.

Don’t forget your intentions for change in this New Year. Whether fully prepared or ready, whether you have a clear goal in mind or not, keep moving forward in incremental steps. It’s the only way to find what you seek. With even the tiniest forward movement, as nature shows, new life eventually happens. Like the slow metamorphosis of a butterfly, intend your own transformation. You have more control than you think. Keep moving!

Slow down and be at one with nature. Notice that not every day is sunny. Not every day is windy. It does not rain every day of the year. Nature changes from day to day and yet it goes at its own pace, unfolding day and night, light and dark, revealing all that it is, neither holding back nor taking too much, always in keeping with what is right. This you will learn as you observe and stay in step with the ways of nature. Let your spirit guide you, for it is your own nature. Slow down and listen to what it tells you every day as it adjusts to what is right.

Love is kind. Compassion is loving. Embody loving kindness and compassion every day and every night, dreaming awake and dreaming asleep of how better to be who you truly are, the embodiment of loving kindness and compassion. Dream your dreaming self into new dreams, day and night, of goodness, fairness, and acceptance of all beings, for all beings are but a dream, dreaming the same dream, dreamer and inventor of dreams, a most powerful position to occupy.

Every day the dream begins again. Start a new dream today with loving kindness and compassion for all beings as its energetic substance. You are in charge of your own dream. Remember that.
