NOT THIS YEAR!
We must forgive others for what they have done and what we think they have done to us. We must also forgive ourselves for the things we have done to ourselves and others. If we do not forgive, the barnacles of the past hang onto our minds and hearts. When you forgive don’t worry about the other person they must deal with their own issues of forgiveness on their own terms. Just worry about YOU!
When we find ourselves in the same situation repeatedly as a result of our conditioned responses, we must stop and do a new thing. The situation may look different but they may feel the same. The route we take there may be altogether different. The lesson we must learn does not change. Get honest! Pay attention! Change what you do to create a change for yourself! When you change others will know.
Every experience, no matter how painful, is an opportunity to learn. At times, we learn about ourselves. In other instances, we learn about others. In the midst of the most difficult lesson, we learn the tenacity of spirit and how far it will take us. I have learned some new lessons about this thing called life and I must embrace them and take my courage and move on! Cheers to embracing NEW THINGS IN 2014!
