What's your vision this new year?

"The weak are blind; champions visualize their dreams and goals and stop at nothing to see them as a reality." -Samy I.


This can be a very interesting time of year,  a time for reflection, renewal and growth. The energy in winter is very dense, but it also points us toward's the upcoming spring and the change's that come with that. To remind us that we all have season's of rest and great change.


And like the sun, we are all meant to shine. So  I feel compelled to remind you today that you need to shine, dont hold it inside of you, dont think you're not good enough, that you have nothing to offer. YOU are so valuable, you are so loved, you are a beautiful creation, you are a vibrant soul! 


This is your time to seize the day and go find what wonderful thing's beckon you, whether it's around the next corner or across the country. 
May you know how blessed you are beloved friend's. May it be that you find beauty in the everyday, that you offer kindness and love to other's, that you create thing's of wonder from honest self expression.


But it's so crucial that you set you vision upon the right thing's, the positive and not the negative. Upon the light and not the dark, upon the truth about yourself and not the lies other's have told you. Because at the end of the day, you will have to live with the choices you made and no one else! Set you eyes on your bliss and your dream's. Never, ever give up hope.


And know for certain that you are here to share your greatness and your strength, your love and your courage. Whatever bad thing's you have been through dont disqualify you, in fact  they have prepared you for this new year so you can do more and be more. Offer up your heart and your talent's to other's. You are needed and wanted.


My wish is that you have a wonderful and fulfilled year.

Today , live like you mean it and love till you feel it. It's all that we need in our live's

Rules to live by........

Life is SHORT...so BREAK the rules, FORGIVE quickly, KISS slowly, LOVE truly, LAUGH uncontrollably and never REGRET anything that once made you smile........

Know yourself and be yourself

All my life I had been looking for something, and everywhere I turned someone tried to tell me what it was.I accepted their answers too, they were often in contradiction and self-contradictory. I was naïve. I was looking for myself and asking everyone questions which only I can answer.It took me a long time and much pain to achieve a realization everyone else appears to have been born with:that I am nobody but myself.

Just be yourself, because who you are and what you are becoming is far more important than you can fully understand.

From Baron Baptiste

The Two Wolves: One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. 
He said, 'My son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all. 

One is Evil. It is anger, fear, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, self doubt, feeling inferior, lies, false pride, superiority, arrogance, and excessive ego. 

The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, potential, confidence, commitment, inner knowing, trust, and faith. 

' 
The grand son thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: 
'Which wolf wins?' 
The old Cherokee simply replied, 'The one you feed.'

Awareness is boundless

"Awareness has no frontier; it is a giving of your whole being, without exclusion. .....and awareness, which is total and excludes nothing, are states of mind that can be understood only by objective, non prejudiced observation."
Bruce Lee

You find truth when you have the patience to simply sit still and observe. In your breath, in your body, in the beauty of the simple pleasures of life. Learn to observe and accept thing's as they are, good or bad, light or dark
Knowing there are no boundaries between yourself and other's, between your spirit and God's. That everything is simply connected and we are all simply human. And that is a very good thing to be! Destined to realize our full potential, if we are objective about ourselves and learn first and foremost to accept ourselve's this is often the best foundation for our personal growth.
To not be happy with stagnation but to lovingly guide ourselve's into fullness and contentment, knowing very often that your best teacher can be yourself! And giving yourself permission to trust in your own wisdom, your own intuition. This is a form of honest self expression and has a way of bringing out the best in us. And when we give generously to ourselve's, we are in a place to give to other's.
An awareness that we all have a unique expression of the soul to bring forth and that we are powerful beyond word's. Not the power to hurt, but to love and to inspire other's.
And dont be distressed if life has brought you 'bad' thing's lately. Choose to have awareness of what you can learn from it. this is often life's way of waking us up to live more fully free of attachement's. Often when we  think something 'bad' happened it's God's way of releasing us from the very attachment's that made us miserable to begin with. It also serves to expand our awareness.
Think about it....

Accept there's thing's you just cant change....

"Some things in life just don't work out. No matter how bad you want it, or how bad you work towards it, it just doesn't work the way you want it to. But excepting this and realizing that trying to hold on to what can't be, only inhibits what could be, and will make your life that much better. Don't blame yourself for other peoples actions and don't hold grudges, only hold lessons."- Travis Hays


Life is sooo much more peaceful when we stop trying to force life to go 'our way' and instead focus on letting the best in life come to us. Ironically enough, when you stop impatiently searching for what you want is when you often find what you truly need.
