"There is a saying among Cherokee that some people maintain their seat very well; that is they don't get excited. Their equanimity is not disturbed, and they express a kindness and a humor that is shared with everyone equally.
To maintain one's seat in times of change, is to remember the wisdom to accomplish. Wisdom is our natural state. It is through dedication that wisdom is nourished and brought into every aspect of our lives.
We learn about cutting away negative thoughts, negative speech so that we may energize the wisdom potential within ourselves in each situation. We also learn about forgiveness, forgiving ourselves and others for what might have been, could have been, should have been, and energizing the ideal of healthy relationships.
The teachings of many cultures, they point to being a compassionate, loving, honest, dignified human being. And, in our own hearts, there may arise the shadow of doubt, and that shadow is just that. It may be illuminated by introspection and analyzing it to see that, ultimately, it is an energy thought form and, in and of itself, it has no existence.

We choose to energize those thoughts which are wisdom and life force enhancing. "
