Many years ago, Bob Dylan wrote "the times they are a'changing". Today, we might amend that to say, the times they are confusing. So much conflicting information, viewpoints, stories, perceptions, attitudes... It can be confusing to sort through it all and try to decipher "right" from "wrong", truth from untruth, etc. Yet as I told someone the other day when they were asking how one could know which path to take... you take the path with heart. If a path involves hatred, vitriol, being intentionally hurtful... then it is NOT a path with heart.

So that is our task as we meander through the various stories and options that are presented to us... choose the path with heart. The path that resonates with you, the path that makes your heart feel kind and content, the path that makes you feel at peace rather than at war. It doesn't mean we lay down and let ourselves, or others, be trod on. But it does mean that we choose our words, our thoughts, our actions based on a loving and compassionate heart -- not a hateful or vengeful one. That is the choice we get to make with each thought, each word, and each action. And then our thoughts go on out into the U-n-I-verse, creating a butterfly effect and presenting new possibilities, new choices, new visions, for others.

Scroll down for the new articles, videos, and audios that were added to the InnerSelf.com website this week. And please visit our YouTube channel for new videos...and subscribe. Thank you.

Wishing you enjoyable insightful reading, and of course a wonder-full, joy-full, health-full, and loving week.
