In the beginning, all things are hopeful. We prepare ourselves to start anew. In order to start, we must make a decision. The decision is a commitment to daily self- cultivation. We must make a strong connection to our inner selves.
Outside matters are superfluous.
Alone and naked, we negotiate all of life's travails. Therefore, we alone must make something of ourselves, transforming ourselves into the instruments for experiencing the deepest spiritual essence of life. Once we make our decision, all things will come to us. Auspicious signs are not a superstition, but a confirmation. They are a response.
