Moderation

Moderation in all things is the key to a balanced life.
Where there is too much intensity, seek mellowness.
Where there is too much darkness, seek the light.
Where there is too much seriousness, seek the playfulness.
Where there is too much separation, seek closeness.
Where there is too much hurt, seek to heal.
Where there is too much lack, seek fulfillment.
Where there is too much depression, seek expression.
Where there is too much, there is a call for less.
Know there are cycles and seasons as with the moon.
Know there is and ever flowing changing when we are not stuck with attachment.
Know there are opportunities to move around the obstacles when we feel blocked.
Know there are innumerable solutions when we release fear and see the big picture.

Life is not black and white.
Life holds many colors, shades and opportunities to look at all sides.
When in disagreement, it is always best to drop your fixed opinion and see things another way.
The more you can see from many points of view, the more successful you will be.

The ways of our past bleed through into our future until we forgive and choose again.
The opinions of our admired forefathers become our present reality until we choose again.
The unhealed wounds of humanity show up in our lives to be seen and healed differently.
The changing seasons, alternative perceptions and creative expansive mind can create healthy outcomes.

We need not despair that there are only two alternatives.
We need not get stuck in thinking there will be pain and loss for all.
We need not fight to get our way.
We need not fear for our survival and loss.

When we trust in God and essentialGoodness, we need merely ask to know a better way.
When we trust in the loving heart and creative mind, we find there is more than we have known before.
When we clear the fear and guilt and blame, we see everyone playing a different game, where all can win.
When we forgive, erase and delete the history of pain and loss and lack, we believe in healing, peace and prosperity for All.

What I speak of is not only possible, it is the way conscious beings relate and succeed and celebrate.
Let us together find mutually winning ways.
Let us live in mutual respect and loving kindness.
Let us listen with a compassionate heart and choose to have a new start, begin again as true friends.

Our relationships are meant to clear the past and heal the present.
Our relationships are a call to forgive and choose a better way to live.
Our relationships are a symbol of what  we still fear and fight to achieve.
Our relationships can be a tribute to the Goodness and Love in which we believe.

Choose again,

LOVEThere is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer;
No disease that enough love will not heal;
No door that enough love will not open;
No gulf that enough love will not bridge;
No wall that enough love will not throw down;
No sin that enough love will not redeem.

 It makes no difference
  how deeply seated may be the trouble,
How hopeless the outlook,
How muddled the tangle,
How great the mistake.
A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all.

 If only you could love enough, you would be the happiest
and most powerful being in the world.
