So many people are
complaining about how bad last year was (insert pretty much any last year). You
are still holding the vibration of a bad year in your mind, and your dominant
thought will create the same. Watching
so many people on the television in Times Square so fervently counting down to
a new beginning, you can see that many believe that it is an opportunity that only happens once a year. We can begin anew anytime we want. We are in
control of our clocks and calendars.
We can only grow
amidst chaos. Something has to go wrong or be upsetting enough for us to
realize we need to make a change, because we are not in alignment with the results. If everything were all sunshine
and balloons all the time, we would not
experience the contrast of what we do not
want to discover what it is we truly desire.
In the middle of
chaos, I have noticed that many people poke holes in themselves, looking to be
perfect. I am not sure where the
perfectionism mentality comes from, thinking that everything we do has to be
perfect from the beginning. Did we stop trying to walk when we first landed on
our butt? Or, did we stop trying to walk
with the countless times we persisted until we mastered this walking thing?
When we give ourselves permission to try something, and if the results do not work out as we would like, then we
can adjust and try again. Edison found over 10,000 ways not to make the light bulb. We certainly can try a couple more
times, and disregard the dream stealers who think they are being brutally
honest, but are really more interested in being brutal.
Keep growing, the path
is not always straight or smooth, but
the rewards are living your truth and rising up where many others crumble.
Remember, you can’t be your best until you uncover
whom you are and where you want to go.
