Hello Friends!
I hope that you all had a wonderful holiday season and were able to spend some quality time with your loved ones. Shifting into the new year there are often discussions about resolutions, goals, and new beginnings; and with that, comes change. As we move through this experience and gift we call life on Earth, we are constantly shifting and transforming from one new stage to the next. Even if we are unable to see subtle changes right now, over time you can look back and recall a very different place you were in, be that mentally or physically. Today, I want to encourage you to take whatever steps you need to take, to move forward towards the goals you have been aiming to achieve. Do this not because it is a new year, but because the time is now, and this is your time! You alone have the power to make the changes you want to see in your life and all you can do is try and do the best you can with what you have where you are at, right now. Worrying about how you are going to get there should be left to faith, faith that when you come up on the next challenge the road will lay its course to show you the way.
Doing something alone can be scary, to say the very least, but what can be scarier than wanting something so passionately and then never taking the chance to see it through? You are both worthy and worth it! You cannot wait around for someone else to act on your desires, you want to eat better? lose weight? start exercising? quit a habit that is not serving you? start your own business? do something you have never done? join a club? Build something? You must take personal action one day at a time. As one Vincent Van Gogh once said, "Great things are done by a series of small things brought together". Make your goals, and set forth, take that first step into the unknown, experience it, and trust that the things you need in your life will be there exactly when you need them to be. Practice gratitude daily and don't forget to see the beauty in life's intricate design. Let your dreams take flight!
