“Happy 2016! What a gift it is to begin a shiny new year full of anticipation and possibilities. It’s another chance to make a fresh start, dust off dreams, clean out cobwebs, and relaunch!
For me, new years have always been markers and milestones of change. After the holiday bustle, It is time to get off the treadmill and back to business. I forgot how much I crave it. There have been so many woulds, shoulds, coulds, and schedules that it’s been hard to keep up. Today I can finally stop and breathe, still the noise, and listen to the inside “”quiet”” of my spirit.
I am reflecting back on the past twelve months with gratitude, celebrating both the gains and the losses. No matter how catastrophic something may have seemed at the time, I usually manage to eventually understand the whys and hows of lessons learned and blessings received. As they say, I have learned that sometimes the greatest gift is an unanswered prayer. And no matter how impatient we may be, God’s plan is always unfolding exactly as it is meant to be, for our greater good.
Starting a new year is also the time when I take stock and see if I’m on track with my purpose and goals. Where have I slacked off? Gotten too comfortable? Settled for less than wonderful? Enough already! I hereby make a pact with myself to refocus and recommit to the big picture, and course correct wherever necessary to make sure it gets done. I am grateful and inspired to start the new year with fresh eyes and a fresh purpose.
I relish that my life is always moving, flowing, and morphing into my next evolution. The passing of time doesn’t make me regretful, it just makes me aware of how much more I still want to do. As I have evolved, so have my dreams! And no matter how old I get, following my passion still gives me goosebumps.
How about you? Are you living full out or holding back? Are you excited to wake up every day and explore new possibilities? Or are you settling? Being comfortable is a sedative, and it’s addicting. It’s a trap we can fall into. Don’t stay there too long or you may never get out.
As you begin this new year, why not give yourself the best gift of all. Make the decision to get out of your comfort zone, shake things up, and seek new adventures that make your heart and soul giddy.
Resolve to start living YOUR NEXT EVOLUTION.
I want to thank you for being a big part of my life this past year. You support has helped carry me through thick and thin, and I am so grateful. I wish you and yours the most wonderful 2016! May it be filled with love, peace, and dreams coming true!
Love,
Barbara xo
