Avoid impatience. You have already lived countless centuries and are now standing before endless millenniums.
Keep calm. But flee from idleness as one who recognises the decisive value of each minute.
Sow love. Think of the devotion of the One Who has loved us from the beginning.
Keep your balance. Unbridled passions and desires are forces of destruction within the Divine Creation.
Cultivate confidence. Tomorrow the sun will reappear on the horizon, and the landscape will be different.
Intensify your own efforts. Your life will be what you make of it.
Cherish solidarity. You would not be able to live without others, although, in the majority of cases others can live without you.
Experience solitude, from time to time. Jesus was alone in the crucial moments of his passage on the Earth.
Give constructive action to your hours. However, do not convert your existence into a tower of Babel.
Render your faithful devotion to peace. But remember that you will never experience tranquillity without first giving peace to those who cross your path.
Excerpted from Chapter 30 of "Christian Agenda" - Chico Xavier (by the Spirit André Luiz)
