With the Holiday season and New Year, friends, family and associates wish you all the good they wish for themselves to you. It is a time of goodwill and cheer. One gets blessings or wishes of greater abundance, long life, good health and harmony or peace. The season is also a time of greater Resolution and will power to change ourselves and lives to something “better”, a new, improved, edition of us.
That is a good thing…. But it never worked for me. I could not even survive one week of the New Year, before I fell into my old patterns. I did not even try to go at it a second time. I simply gave up. Rather I have come to accept that life itself is Change. I have learned, like a surfer of the waves that life becomes worth living, when I don’t make judgments of it. It does not matter if life is up or down. What matters is surfing or living it. Life like the wave will surely have its ups and down. Life for me has become about acquiring the necessary skills to surf life’s
ups and downs and the exhilaration that comes from surfing (living). This New Year, be kind to yourself, try not to change anything, just live…..
"This is what Wisdom means: To be changed without the slightest effort on your part, to be transformed, believe it or not, merely by waking to the reality that is not words that lie beyond the reach of words. If you are fortunate enough to be awakened thus, you will know why the finest language is the one that is not spoken, the finest action is the one that is not done and the finest change is the one that is not willed."...Anthony de Mello
HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
