If what you seek is just out of reach or a long time coming, practice self restraint and become even more graceful. Control your fear and hold your confidence. You will be rewarded with opportunities that are commensurate with your creativity. You can then write your own ticket.
Don’t you know you are pure…
“Don’t you know you are pure, you are positive, you are spirit, and you have nothing but to be? To be, to be. And the light of your spirit you share, you glow and glare, and you have fun.” Yogi Bhajan
(via Ram Anand)
Today: Be graceful
Attend to today’s affairs as they come. Engage gracefully in small matters. Your grace can stimulate movement that nourishes those around you who are in need. It’s a good time to begin something new.
Today: Be keenly aware of your influence on others
What you say and what you do have an impact beyond the current place and moment. Your actions and words will emanate infinitely from a particular point in space and time and never be undone. Whether they are consiously felt by yourself and others in the moment does not change the nature of their projection and propagation. Whether they are overt and willful actions or the subtle projection of your presence in the now, or simply prayer, they are forever.

There is no identity for you except your spiritual identity…
“There is no identity for you, except your spiritual identity. There’s no grace in you but to learn. There’s no achievement other than to become learned. There’s no power but to share what you have learned with all and everyone. Share with compassion – you’ll be compensated, and you shall have no complex.

Today: Watch and listen
You have access to a wealth of experience around you that you can use to guide you. Your own inexperience should not impede your successfully navigating the many choices you face. Do not fear making choices thereby becoming paralyzed, nor rush into action with youthful folly. Your actions may seem ineffective at first or not enough, but the wise choices will pan out in the end. If you know the choice is right, the result will be favorable. Keep your eyes open and learn from your own and others’ experience. Remember what you have been taught.
Emotions, feelings, desire, commotion, ego…
“Emotions, feelings, desire, commotion, ego – put it all together, and you lose your identity. The moment you lose your identity, you lose your impact. When there is no impact in your identity, you have no fact, you have no leg to stand on.” Yogi Bhajan
(via Ram Anand)
The universe is asking you to confirm…
“The universe is asking you to confirm with yourself whether you would like to serve the Earth, to save the Earth, be the sage of the Earth. Earth – the Sustainer, the Mother of you, which nurtures you – can you nurture it back? That which serves you, can you serve it back.” Yogi Bhajan
(via Ram Anand)
Today: Start fresh – from the I Ching
It is a good day to begin something, or begin something again. Regardless of how previous efforts were subverted, there now will be little resistance to your loftiest intentions. If mistakes were made we can press reset and begin again with a blank slate. If previously we did not know how to begin, we can proceed now confidently.
Those of you who have done it, know it…
“Those of you who have done it, know it. There’s nothing I can add or say. With honesty, honor, and intensity you have done it; that’s your experience. It doesn’t take much to bring God down into us. Actually, God is in us. Simply sometimes we can just concentrate and become that. It’s called a turning point.” Yogi Bhajan
(via Ram Anand)
Today: Go within and adapt yourself to the demands of the times – from the I Ching
Allow external matters to be what they are. Go within yourself to find how you can adapt to the demands of the time and relate with all that is going on around you. You will find that there are kindred spirits who are engaging the same natural attractions and who will follow your example. Engage them and still others will take notice and follow.
Rise in the morning…
“Rise in the morning, clean your self, exercise, and direct your mind to Infinity. Simple. But the mind knows. It is definitely aware of your effort and even the intentions of the effort. The mind is above time and space. It calculates the impact and consequence. The little act of sadhana will contain your mind and make your consciousness the ruler.” –Yogi Bhajan
(via Ram Anand)

Today: Refuse the fruit offered by the serpent
Oppressors are attempting to seize power, violently, if necessary. It is a situation of which many people are totally unaware. When fruit offered by the serpent is refused, the snake swallows its own tail and the light is restored. The main point is to remain grounded in reality and develop intuition so that subterfuge can be recognized and the damage it causes be avoided. There is nothing to be done other than to be aware and to look into one’s personal blind spots using the tools that we have been given.
The power of a teacher of Kundalini Yoga is in his zero…
“The power of a teacher of Kundalini Yoga is in his zero, in his shuniya. In shuniya you become zero, you reduce everything to nothing: “I am nothing. Everything is nothing. There’s nothing to be nothing.” The moment you become that, then everything radiates from you.” Yogi Bhajan
(via Ram Anand)
Today: Accept rewards for your deeds
