Maintain balance. Stay attentive to the details of your life. Avoid old entanglements, of people, thoughts, ideas, and behaviors. Strive to make this day different. In minute ways consciously shift away from old patterns and begin weaving new paths of intent. This doesn’t have to entail drastic cuts or incisions, but simple shifts and conscious decisions to lead a different life based on what you know works for you. You are in charge of creating the life you desire. Take control, but remember to be kind to self and other. That is the first step on your path of heart; be kind. Stay openhearted and allow good energy to invigorate you as you remain committed to change.

Internet out this morning as we are battered by high winds in the Northeast! Here is today’s Soulbyte:

Did you experience the shift? Whether your experience was subtle or strong, did you stand your ground, your warrior legs planted and firm? Yet were you flexible as well, able to sway with the energies of the changing tides?

Change is constant, so if you feel like you missed out keep in mind that each day you have another opportunity to meet your protagonist head on, the protagonist of change, who pursues you and presents you constantly with a new chance to test the waters of life. Dare to step into the water of life on your warrior legs every day, steady and flexible, strong and supple, firm and graceful. Meet life in this way and you will find yourself met in return in similar fashion, life naturally ebbing and flowing as it should.

Like a warrior stand in your power, in your ability to constantly shift and adjust. Dance your way forward now, light on your feet, in rhythm with your spirit, in rhythm with nature within and without. This is the day you have been waiting for. Enjoy it, and yet stay attentive to all that you have been through to get here, reminding the self often of the warrior’s way: to remain solidly connected to all that is, to the heavens and the earth, to the sun and the moon, to the body and the spirit, to the wind and the water.

We might declare that we stand on the threshold of change, that we sense it coming soon, any moment now, but in reality change is happening all the time. Minute by minute we naturally change. From infinitesimal shifts to large leaps more noticeable for their exaggerated occurrences, change is a constant. To fully experience the changes in our lives we must embrace this constancy, acknowledging that our lives carry us ever forward. To embrace is to be constantly aware, making conscious decisions and choices that abide by the laws of change and motion in infinite balance and yet to not allow them to overtake or overwhelm us. To be a companion to change we must accompany it, constantly aware that it is taking us forward on our journeys. Use it now to create this day in the manner that best suits where you are in each moment. Let your awareness of change naturally guide you over each threshold that appears.

With renewed vigor and focused intent continue along your path of heart. Set the mind solely upon thoughts of good and fortune. Stay positive. Even as you go through the trials and tribulations of life, remind the self often that they are the building blocks of your future, that they are necessary and worthy endeavors and challenges, perfectly set up for you to advance.

This life is your only life and at this moment it requires a new outlook if you are to progress, so give it your all. Pour all of your inner you into your inner work and watch how it explodes out into your outer world in a rainbow of new energy, reflective of all the hard work that you are doing. Create positive affirmations today for self and other and reap the positive results. Try it and see what happens!
