Do not stand in awe of changing times but consciously choose to change with them, to embrace the awesomeness of change. It is in such times of outer turmoil that inner turmoil finds its reflection and that which shows itself to be the answer outerly may indeed prove to be the inner answer as well.

Sometimes it is simply time to call a stop to old ideas and behaviors no longer helpful. Sometimes it is right to abruptly switch ideals long held yet with no appropriateness to present reality. Sometimes it’s the right time to change.

Changing times are now, calling for sacrifice yet also calling for the glory of kindness and compassion. To love another as the self is the first order of business now. Begin there.

A warrior is always aware of time passing and that there is no time to dawdle. A warrior uses every moment to learn about life and the self in the process of becoming aware. Gaining awareness is the warrior’s main goal, for only with awareness is there any sense in being a warrior at all. Without awareness a warrior is nothing, just another pea in the pod. Awareness grants entry to what lies beyond the familiar. It is the gateway to greater experience and greater understanding. A warrior knows this, and so a warrior uses time to full advantage. There is no time like the present to begin a new journey. Awareness awaits!

It is time to become selfless. To become selfless is to become part of the changing world. To become selfless is to be without personal want, without desires pending, without need beyond that which is loving, kind, and compassionate to all beings.

What is really necessary now? The world is changing rapidly and to stay abreast of it the self must change too, just as rapidly, if the change is to matter. There is no time to dawdle. It is time to become selflessly loving, kind, and compassionate. That’s what matters.

The path of heart is the only formula for life worth pursuing. It is not something one waits for or works toward but something that one practices every day. The path of heart will never fail you for the path of heart knows no wrong turn. Everything along its winding way is necessary, important, and meaningful. It is with awareness, however, that the path of heart is finally revealed as such, but the truth is, there is no other path. You are already on your own path of heart. You just have to realize it.

Hatred is the result of ignorance and fear, such a powerful emotion. Like a volcano hatred erupts and yet it comes from the same place as love, from deep within. Turning down the volume on hatred allows the more powerful sounds of love to be heard, the lilting strains of another possibility. If more people actively sang songs of love the chorus of hate would soon be drowned out, for as powerful an emotion as hatred is love tops all.

Stir up some love today. Let it seep out into every thought, act, and emotion. Sing of love, even if you think you can’t, and become part of the changing world that really does need love, right now!
