New Year, New Opportunities

 

I can already feel 2012.  It feels fresh, new and exciting—sort of like a new relationship.  I can feel the massive amount of transformative energy that this year represents to all of us.  It isn’t just another year.  It is OUR year.  We have all experienced new years, full of resolutions we may or may not keep, but this year my resolution isn’t to change myself (though that undoubtedly will still happen) but, instead, to embrace the person that I already am.  I am already perfect.  You are already perfect.  Everyone is already imperfectly perfect.  Of course, we can still improve in most all areas of our lives.  There will ALWAYS be room to grow and improve.  But perhaps, if we surrender to who we are now, those things will come naturally.  The key is to love who you already are.

Love is the answer to everything…

If you love yourself (flabby abs and all) you open up to the infinite amounts of love constantly surrounding us at all moments.  Breathe into the space.  Feel the connection to everything and everyone.  Feel the feeling of love.  Really—-take a moment and feel it.  Your body will tingle and a smile might start to appear.  Find and feel gratitude for the last breath you just took and the one you are about to take.  Feel gratitude that you know what love is.  Feel it throughout your entire body.   

      

We have all chosen to be alive, and to share this time and space on Earth together.  No one knows for sure what will happen because we are all co-creating it together each and every moment.  Instead of making personal new years resolutions, make a resolution for the world.  Let go of the need to control everything in your life and surrender to the possibilities that you don’t even know exist yet.  Be open.  Be willing. 

Sending out prayers of love and gratitude for this Planet and the human tribe on a daily basis feels right.  May we all be grateful for each moment, each person we come into contact with, each person we dislike or disapprove of.  May we embrace and love that part of ourselves that we know exists even on a subconscious level.  May our ancestors who have already passed over guide us through these new, critical times.  May we understand that we are each multi-faceted individuals with the potential to manifest whatever we desire.  May we each connect to our true, infinite selves.
