Hold onto the truth that even the smallest of changes within your own life are having an impact on the greater whole. Remain certain that your little world is getting better and better every day as you work on changing those things in your own life that need adjustment and enhancement. Progress is being made. Stick with the good work of transforming the self.
Do not become world weary just yet. There is still opportunity for change, for growth and for the kind of evolution that is stable, considerate, and takes in the greater whole. Time is on your side, though often it may seem as if time is going by swiftly with little being accomplished that feels thoughtful or helpful. Keep a steady heart focused on what you know will bring the most to bear upon the world. As you call for change without, keep your inner world in constant updating as well. Learn to listen, to sit in quiet, to become more heart-centered and more alert to what is truly right as you yearn for progress in all walks of life. You are part of the solution. Remember that always. Though you may feel to be only an insignificant speck of intention, you have no idea how impactful even your little speck of intention really is.
The last thing you need to do is to go down an old pathway. You’ve been down that path so many times and you know where it leads. You have also been down so many new paths and you also know where they lead. Perhaps today indicates that all the usual pathways are old now, that something entirely new is required if you are to stay on your path of heart. Ask for guidance on where to go next, what is most meaningful, and what will enhance your journey through life with the least amount of harm and the most amount of progress. Look forward to something new today and expect it to appear. Have faith that the Universe is providing just what you most need right now.
Try not to over-diagnose, over-treat, or over-protect. It is often that in failure the right way is revealed, that in sorrow humbleness is experienced, and that in the seeking to always do what is right a new approach may be revealed that is better suited to the times you live in. Old practices abound but they are not always the best method of application for healing, for growth, or for manifesting what you most desire. Oftentimes, from within the self the best method for achieving goals may come forth, out of your own past, your own hard-fought and hard-won battles, out of your own experiences of wonder and gratitude. Pay more attention to what resonates with where you are now so that everything you decide to do is in step with the person you have become rather than with the person you once were. For you are a changed being and that means changing a lot of other things in your life to keep everything humming along on your new path of heart.
We have often advised that taking the time to decide what is right is always a good step, for it is often in the patient waiting that right action arrives, knowledge is acquired, and the proper way forward is revealed. But at other times there is no time for waiting, no time for patience and no time for contemplation. Such times are the times when everything that you have been learning, practicing and waiting to utilize springs forth out of you and you KNOW what to do, without a doubt. When right action springs into action after a long period of patient waiting, be assured that you will know exactly what to do.
