Life Is A Series Of Moments. The

Every Positive Change - Every Jump To A Higher Level Of Energy And Awareness - Involves A Rite Of Passage. Each Time To Ascend To A Higher Rung On The Ladder Of Personal Evolution, We Must Go Through A Period Of Discomfort, Of Initiation. I Have Never Found An Exception.

Faith Is The Recognition That Spirit Works In, As And Through Each And All Of Us - Through Every Person And Every Circumstance.

Unless The Desire To Change Remains Strong, Body And Mind Tend To Return To Old, Familiar Patterns. It Takes Time-from Three To Six Months-for Old Habits To Become Obsolete. By The End Of That Time, You'll Have Adapted To A New Pattern. In A Sense, You'll Have Found A New Way Of Life.

If There Is A Central Theme To What I Called "a Peaceful Warrior's Approach To Living," And To The Four Purposes Of Life, It Is That There May Be Innumerable Techniques Or Methods One Can Learn (from The Eastern Spiritual Cultures And From The Western Psychological Tradition), But That Above And Beyond All These Technologies Waits The School Of Everyday Life.

Remember That Life Develops What It Demands - The Toughest Path Creates The Strongest Warrior. Pray Not For A Lighter Load, But For Stronger Shoulders.
