We have accumulated a lot of stuff, mental and physical, that prevents us from doing things we long to do. We need to get rid of all the stuff that keeps us in our present dire situation; then we are free to do all the things we long to do. You must let go; the time to start that process is right now.
Gentleness that is adaptable and penetrating is the outer form that comes from inner calm. The work of influencing people can be only gradual; to do this, work on your own moral development.
We may want to blame others for our difficulties, but instead look for the error within ourselves and through this introspection the difficulty becomes time for enrichment and education. When differences arise, reflect on how best to deal with them and wait for the right moment for action. Generally, we want to take the line of least resistance to a difficult situation, but in service of a higher cause, we might have to deal with the difficulty.
Quote: There is a candle in your heart, ready to be kindled. There is a void in your soul, ready to be filled. You feel it, don’t you?
