EVER CHANGING

KEEPING OUR HEADS

Life is so packed with many different routes to follow, it is very easy to be pulled into various directions, without even realizing it, at any one time, causing us to become panicky and losing our heads when the ride becomes too fast, not knowing what to hold on to or what to let go. As we gain more and more knowledge and experience so our truths develop and grow, forever changing. We should never hold on to philosophies and teachings simply because yesterday's knowledge becomes today's compost on the new experiences we gain - they change as we delve deeper , higher and wider. It starts from a seed, then roots itself in deeply, then grows and makes branches, leaves and flowers, eventually fruits as it becomes our words and deeds.....all totally different to the appearance of the seed. The truth of the seed remains in the seed, but as it grows it expands and develops into many different uses and views and we need to remain open to these 'changes'. The real truth lays in the nourishment of the fruit - the proof of the truth lays in the practical use of the growth of the seed. We need a fool proof recipe to use throughout life, that will work under any condition in all circumstances. Now what would that be? What is going to keep us firmly anchored through the storms that bash and beat around our heads? When we are implanted with morals and virtues from a young age, we have a clear vision that cuts right through all the lures and temptations. We have a solid foundation on which to build our lives. Virtues and morals are one thing that doesn't change : honour, moral excellence, righteousness, courage, valour, goodness, purity and the likes. It is like love and faith, it doesn't come in measure, it's either there or it is not, period. It is a complete unit. When we plant any seed in the soil of purity and feed it with the water of love, it will branch forth into righteousness, goodness, justice, fairness and bear the fruits of joy, peace, kindness, mercy, compassion, generosity, gentleness, faithfulness, deep happiness and contentment, regardless of the circumstances - these qualities will be the POWER OVER THE CIRCUMSTANCES. Events and situations mustn't throw us from pillar to post causing us to lose our heads in the turmoil and confusion that it brings with it. Our virtues will be like a sharp sword controlling the circumstances to fit into our morals and virtues. We don't cheapen and sell out on virtues and morals but stand solidly in them, they always win. We're the person and the person is in control of the situation. WHEN WE HAVE A SOLID FOUNDATION - A SAFETY NET - A MORAL GUIDE LINE TO WORK ON, WE WILL BE ABLE TO ADAPT AND YIELD WITHOUT BREAKING UNDER PRESSURE AND LOSING OUR HEADS.....©

Tomorrow....when to yield and when to stand.....
