When one takes a journey deep within to heal, it is a long and arduous task, and requires energy, enthusiasm and zeal unparalleled. And for a while at least there are very few outer signs that growth has been achieved, that one has thus arrived. But destiny is guaranteed, and purpose will be found, and, with hindsight, all those difficult times will prove sound.

And so the question begs as to how to maintain this zeal, especially during the lowest points, when confirmation of right action is lacking, and encouragement is not forthcoming. It is a strong man who can sustain such times without support from kin; more likely one finds solace from a friend, or words to a song to sing. However, help thus manifests, and rest assured it will. Know that the deepest valleys are just that, and all is mounting ever higher still.

The key is growth and learning upon the path less travelled to the self. The tough times will not last, and likewise artificial highs last only for a brief moment in time. But a balanced heart and mind, combined with the power of the will, give a sense of personal power to confront extremes so well.

Be sure of where you are in time and space at every turn. Observe yourself and your reactions, and keep a distance as best you can. In so doing you will conquer all your demons spanning time immemorial, and then you’ll be ready to thus launch your true life’s purpose and give of such great wealth.

This is an important lesson. It sets the scene ahead for you to be self motivated, and fear less the unknown which is confronted as you tread your inner path to self.
