Changes are Riding in the Winds of Time · Zaran the Gardener, planting seeds of & nourishing our Soul with mindfulness

• 0:00
  Speaker: Good morning.
• 0:01
  Speaker: What day is it today for you?
• 0:04
  Speaker: Time.
• 0:06
  Speaker: What are the circumstances of one's life?
• 0:11
  Speaker: Where have you been and where are you now?
• 0:17
  Speaker: Where are you heading towards?
• 0:21
  Speaker: Just so one remembers all of these things are variable.
• 0:29
  Speaker: Even our past is a reflection of how we are reviewing it or perceiving it right now.
• 0:38
  Speaker: If it is unsavory to oneself, your past, soften it.
• 0:46
  Speaker: Make it a little bit better.
• 0:50
  Speaker: Do not be so hard upon yourself, but where necessary, making sure changes are being made.
• 1:01
  Speaker: One does not repeat unfortunate, unkind, or selfish behavior.
• 1:09
  Speaker: Because one needs to improve.
• 1:12
  Speaker: It is not to constantly be forgiving of oneself and continuing in a negative way.
• 1:20
  Speaker: No.
• 1:20
  Speaker: It may work on some levels, but deep inside of oneself, no.
• 1:29
  Speaker: The truth is always told.
• 1:32
  Speaker: One can hide many things from many people, but eventually the truth is revealed.
• 1:40
  Speaker: Be careful of one's behavior.
• 1:43
  Speaker: Be wise, be purposeful.
• 1:46
  Speaker: Be enthusiastic and curious.
• 1:49
  Speaker: Continuing.
• 1:51
  Speaker: Lift one's eyes proverbally towards the sky, towards the horizon, one's goals, one's aspirations.
• 2:00
  Speaker: For by thinking of the positive in one's life, one brings these things closer.
• 2:07
  Speaker: Why?
• 2:09
  Speaker: Because they're in one's mind.
• 2:11
  Speaker: "Attention" is what we are doing.
• 2:15
  Speaker: We're putting attention towards something.
• 2:18
  Speaker: And energy follows attention.
• 2:21
  Speaker: But we are putting energy into being more positive if that's the attention that we are paying to something.
• 2:29
  Speaker: Being positive by nature is therefore better than being negative, being understanding, kind, resourceful.
• 2:40
  Speaker: Helping oneself see in a wider sense of perspective what are the possibilities, what are the ways that one can view what's going on?
• 2:55
  Speaker: Turning everything one can into ways, to building blocks for future better decisions, better senses of understanding.
• 3:11
  Speaker: This is common sense.
• 3:14
  Speaker: This is age-old wisdom just being repeated.
• 3:20
  Speaker: Because we need to hear these things all the time.
• 3:24
  Speaker: We need to reinforce our own value system.
• 3:28
  Speaker: We need to reinforce our own minds because daily there are eighty-six thousand four hundred moments in this kaleidoscope of life, and it's easy to misplace, forget, minimize, ignore, take for granted the wonder, splendor, immensity of what we are a part of.
• 3:55
  Speaker: Because there is so much going on.
• 3:58
  Speaker: Better then to find oneself every day, to take one's bearings, to take your mental sextant out, your compass, your guide, and review, analyze what one is doing.
• 4:17
  Speaker: Where am I starting my day?
• 4:20
  Speaker: Where am I now?
• 4:21
  Speaker: How have I ended my day?
• 4:25
  Speaker: Again, with positivity.
• 4:28
  Speaker: Oh, I have a list that I made, which is always a good idea to make a daily list, and I have accomplished none of it.
• 4:38
  Speaker: It's okay.
• 4:39
  Speaker: Tomorrow, if we are lucky enough to have a tomorrow, we can begin again.
• 4:47
  Speaker: This is a glass half full.
• 4:51
  Speaker: This is my humble opinion a better way.
• 4:55
  Speaker: To traverse one's life with a sense of positivity, to have a merry step, to have a whistle or a hum easily surfacing through one's lips.
• 5:10
  Speaker: Why?
• 5:11
  Speaker: Because we are happy inside, seeking accomplishments worthwhile, doing the right thing by all, not just by oneself.
• 5:24
  Speaker: There are many examples we can utilize to reinforce these different ideas of what we can do, what we might do, and what we don't want to do at all.
• 5:40
  Speaker: Look around, you can see government leaders, leaders in industry, perhaps leaders in one's community or even in one's family or friends.
• 5:51
  Speaker: View everything objectively as much as one can, as a witness, not as a judge, not as a jury, as just someone who is being open-minded and viewing what's going on, then coming to one's conclusions.
• 6:14
  Speaker: Because it is important to make decisions for oneself.
• 6:19
  Speaker: One need to decide if you want to be part of something if you do or don't.
• 6:26
  Speaker: This is the freedom we're speaking about in many parts of our world to have freedom of choice.
• 6:37
  Speaker: This is what many people want for all of the world for people to have this freedom.
• 6:44
  Speaker: Not everywhere is it the same.
• 6:46
  Speaker: We know this.
• 6:47
  Speaker: Don't take for granted what one has.
• 6:51
  Speaker: There are many cross currents, rapids, and there is a great deal of fun to be had in the waters of life.
• 7:02
  Speaker: At the same token, many dangers potentially lie ahead.
• 7:09
  Speaker: We need to be wise and counsel the best of our thinking to forward ourselves through this process of time.
• 7:21
  Speaker: It is a river flowing through the universe.
• 7:26
  Speaker: It is energy, it is expanding, and it is everywhere.
• 7:32
  Speaker: It is what we are each and all separately and together part of.
• 7:38
  Speaker: The energy of creation.
• 7:41
  Speaker: Look how we have developed religions, spiritual conversations, assuming greater organization to this universe than we quite comprehend.
• 7:58
  Speaker: We are reaching out to do this, to better encompass some sense of understanding beyond ourselves.
• 8:09
  Speaker: Worthy goals to do this, making efforts to understand our own sense of curiosity, heighten our own abilities to function in our world.
• 8:25
  Speaker: Look around, my friends, my family, my cousins.
• 8:31
  Speaker: Do so in that sense of witnessing being here now, remembering we are bundles of miracles.
• 8:40
  Speaker: And in this recollection, in this sense of one's vibration, humbled in this simple recognition of whom we are, thankful for having an opportunity of being alive.
• 9:07
  Speaker: The music continues for another minute.
• 9:10
  Speaker: Please ponder, reflect, make your list and accomplish, and be kind and understanding to oneself and to all others as well.
• 9:22
  Speaker: Do onto others as yea would have them do unto you.
• 9:26
  Speaker: Have a great day. namaste
