To me, every day is like every other day, but I still can appreciate the significance of a New Year. The word "new" signifies hope and the promise of, once again, new things to come. And all this newness and hope are great as long as we realize it takes hard work to go in a new direction, whether it be losing weight or losing a joyless relationship. Having a good life takes bravery and being brave requires hard work.
You can't go for quick gratification of your needs and still go the distance. Without discipline and the knowledge that sometimes saying "no" has great power, you can never become something more. Sometimes walking away is what we need to do, and sometimes we need to stay. Only you know all the weird places the ego takes you and what you need to work on.
You can't take a course, write in a journal, do yoga or sit in front of a vibe machine and think it will make you happier or raise your consciousness. All these methods will always be one step away from the action and never be the action itself. Every method you pick up you must eventually lay down - so why bother? ONLY YOU can make a difference in your life!
So...greet the New Year head-on, full steam ahead. Enter unadorned, take whatever power you have given away back, and walk firmly into life.
Have a great year!
