As we begin another brand New year...

As we begin another  brand New year, unto another amazing journey, Many of us including me, are preparing /making so many plans about Our own New Years Resolutions ... to change the things about themselves .. and about Life itself.  Many times I can't stop asking myself -- Am I where  I really want to be? Are you getting closer to where you want to be? ... Or are you moving away from where you don't want to be? And exactly how far are you from where you want to be and away from where you don't want to be? Well, those are really good questions if you're not content where you are today.

And here's another question: Do we ever really know exactly how far we are from where we want to be? Thinking that we're still far away from where we want to be is a bit overwhelming, daunting and discouraging. So we can choose to think that we may just be much closer than we think/know and believe we are...

You can make a great head start to getting away from where you were . A place in life that you don't want to be. And that is to get mentally away (the farther the better) from where you used to be.

But how do we do this? Changing your physical location is great and very helpful, but changing your mind is even better. Getting physically to where you want to be won't do you much good if you're still mentally and emotionally stuck in a undesirable past  (or even an undesirable present "location"). Prepare your mind first. The body will be more ready to naturally and more easily follow. You may be just around the corner from exactly where you want to be, and you may only need to change your mind to turn that corner around . I know these are the things that are hard to do "Easier said than done ''.. But you are not going to lose anything if we all try.

May we all carry our own 'Knapsack of Hope' to keep us 'afloat': A STAR to remind us to keep shining; A PAPERCLIP to help us hold our things together; An ERASER to fix all of our small mistakes; A LOCK to keep all of our secrets safe; A PENNY so that we are never broke; A RUBBER BAND to help us stretch beyond our limits; A KISS to remind us that we are loved; A HUG for when life is in need of a little more warmth; A BANDAID for when we fall and scrape ourselves; and A MARBLE for those days when we are sure that we have lost ours.

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL ...May each day of the New Year.. brighten up your life with new Joys, surprises and good tidings, Wishing you a Bright and Happy New Year! and All the Very Best for 2014! ~ shared by Lhynn ~
