Oh boy another year! New beginnings, resolutions, letting go of the past, moving forward....but to what? Is that what a lot of us are asking? Or just me? It's almost harder to navigate through life when there are endless possibilities. We are so lucky to live in the time and generation that we do, because we can literally choose to do anything we want. We have freedoms that our grandparents, and even parents didn't have. Everyone's life purpose was mapped out for them like it or not. And here we are generation NO NAME with the capabilities to follow our hearts and create our own purpose. But with this conscious shift we hold a greater responsibility, and who has taught us how to live up to that? There's the rub. It's up to us to figure it out. it's not our parents fault for not knowing....how could they? They had their own process of change.
I feel like a lot of us see glimmers of our dreams coming true, or have been brave enough to make steps towards our dreams and goals that seem to some unconventional but blocks keep popping up because of fear...fear of the unknown. We are the first generation without a user manual. We are the first generation as a whole who function mostly outside the convention and the confines of society. There are less young people married, less home owners, and less 9-5 er's then ever.
Our Parents were the for runners of change. The protesters, the hippies, the educated & independent women. There was a fight for equality for many diversities. So now what do we fight for. This world has been so used to fighting, if we aren't doing it on a grand scale, we do it on a small scale with our relationships. America has been addicted to drama! Look at reality TV! And then when there is no drama we are bored.
So what can we do with this? What do you wanna do? How can we live in love? How can we create? How can we connect to each other? How can we feel fulfilled? How can we live in Joy, and not think it's boring? Step outside of your box. Say yes to something that you wouldn't normally. Be open to the truth inside of you. Express your honest feelings despite what the other person might do or say. Do something you loved to do as a child, because that's when we were our true selves, it might show you what path you are supposed to be on.
Pay attention to the world around you. There are signs and syncronicity everywhere, there is beautiful and love everywhere if you focus on it, or at least allow yourself to see it. This has become a very narcissistic society. Yes, some ounce of selfishness is a good thing but we have to realize and live as if the world does not revolve around us alone. Every choice we make every ripple we put in the water has a direct effect on someone or something else whether we see it or not. Like endangered species, global warming, illness, car accidents, broken hearts, etc. So please make your ripples for the good of all.
A friend of mine just said he makes his resolutions as he goes....I really like that philosophy. it's takes the pressure off, it puts you in the moment, and instead of thinking about what might be good for you 6 months from now, your allowing yourself to honor what's good for you right now. That's a brilliant way to stay in the moment and true to your heart.
In 2010 be the rock star, doctor, preacher, model, inventor, surfer, teacher, lover, activist, millionaire that you always knew you were meant to be! Just jump in and trust you can swim, even if it only starts as a doggie paddle, the worse that could happen is you tried and could only float. But instead of try.....DO, DO and DO again! Much Love & Greatest to you in the New Year!
