Every year I see people make promises, to themselves, to others, to make changes in the New Year.
Of course, change is always possible. In any moment. In fact, change is always happening.
But there is change that is simply more, and change that is actually better. That is different.
To be the same old self with a new habit typically doesn’t work. Especially when we think we can berate ourselves into adopting the new habit, and that we should then feel bad about ourselves when we fail.
But to be a new self. A less limited self. To see our own unlimited capacity to create, our own creation of everything in our lives (including our own limits).
To see that we do nothing but create…
Now that has possibilities!
As you go into the last few days of this year, and beat yourself up for all the things you didn’t do in 2021, take some time to notice—
Who are you being?
Who are you, really?
What wants to emerge that you keep resisting, that you keep saying no to?
My clients come to me having achieved amazing things that they think they got through hard work and stress.
But they have a hard time seeing that that life can also be easy and joyful. That a lot of the stress was not only unnecessary but that it actually limited them.
They begin to see how creation can emerge from them, if they only get out of the way.
That success doesn’t have to feel hard and require sacrifice.
That they can create even more from a state of ease than they ever could from stress.
When they see this, they begin to say yes to a purer, easier form of creation.
What will you say yes to in 2022?
I’m taking a break from writing for the rest of the year. I hope that each one of you has an amazing holiday season, and truly connects with your loved ones, yourself, and your God.
And that in so doing you begin to see who you really are, and all that is waiting to emerge from that.
