What does a New Year mean? Is
it accepting and letting go of the past with the wish to move forward? Is it a
list of things you desire to achieve? Is it a chance to improve yourself in an
area of life? Maybe it simply means that you will live life carrying the lessons you have learned.
A New Year connotes a new
beginning. It’s 365 days to hope, dream, work, attempt, tear down, and build
up. It’s using time to plan for the future. It gives us time to think about
relationships, family, home & career.
Relationships. Family. Home. Career.
My thoughts this year will focus on these.
The New Year also gives us a chance to reflect. With all the hustle and bustle of shopping, eating and
visiting, it’s important to take the moment and focus on the real meaning of
the season. What did you truly celebrate this
season? I take stock of the opportunities I’ve had to connect with family and
friends during the holidays. I have been able to share love, affection and most
of all, my presence. I carry this with me this year. I
let everything else fall away.
What has this year brought? It’s
been a year of accomplishments, new ideas, challenges and of course, perpetual
learning. Acknowledge what you are proud of and what you can do better. Be
mindful of the people who have come in and out of your life. Make sense of the year's events. Practice self -awareness. Meditate in whichever way is of
a comfort to you. Give yourself the gift of clarity. Clear
mind, solid thoughts, sincere intent, meaningful action. Move forward.
Wherever we are in life, we always
have the desire and opportunity to improve. It’s never too early or too late.
There are so many things to be thankful for. In 2012 I intend to bask in the
things I know give me strength and I will share that with those around me. I will waste less and give more. I will continue to prepare myself for the opportunities
to come.
Whatever it is you want to
accomplish this year, I wish you the courage to dream it.
For those of you who know me
well, this is one of my favorite quotes. I have literally kept it close to me
in times of change in my life.
“So many of our dreams at first
seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will,
they soon become inevitable.”
2012 Peace.
