In a time that is so full of fear, a great deal of courage is required to walk without fear.  It means that we must all take charge of our focus.

The world around us is in a state of chaos.  While we cannot escape the chaos, we can consciously return to the center of ourselves and focus on peace.

It is a great moment when you make the right choice for yourself.  You can feel the pleasure of doing the right thing.  It is sometimes challenging to hold the goodness of your choice.

Remember that you are more important than anything on your path and your care and keeping is primary to your happiness.  We all have our own ways of stopping, but we all need to stop from time to time and catch up with ourselves and what we need.

As long as we are in the human condition we will be dealing with the shadow and the light, in the world and in ourselves. To live in the shadow is to live in fear and limitation. This does not mean that we do not deal with the shadow, but it does mean that we recognize the shadow and without judging it, begin to release it.

We live in a time when the shadow side of humanity seems to be in control. A challenge is to avoid holding on to our angry thoughts about the situation we are in.
