Dear friends and clients,
I can’t believe it is the month of November already! Where did the year go? Time sure flies when you are having fun, right?
Well, hopefully you feel like me, satisfied and grateful for a year used to the max, and living with no regrets.
But what if you don’t feel the same about 2017? Are you having another year that is flying by, with most of your goals and dreams collecting dust in the corners of your mind? Did you make the same mistake most people make on every new years day? Did you make new years resolutions that, by mid January, went up in flames? Are you simply going with the flow at the moment, waiting for the old year to end, and hoping that 2018 will be a better year?
It boggles my mind when I listen to clients complain every year how hard and difficult a particular year was compared to the one before. and I can detect this tone in their voice, a hopefulness that next year will be different… that things will go better, and that things will be easier somehow.
I have good news and I have bad news…
Here is the bad news; things won’t be “better” next year… and life won’t be "easier". The chance of all your problems magically evaporating on new years eve is highly unlikely! Sorry to burst your bubble! Forgive me for sounding negative, but please bear with me... I do have a point to make here. Life is really a neutral energy. It is not an "event". It is however your attitude and perception of life that make it either good or bad, hard or easy! We as humans are masters at labeling our experience in this way, and this causes us much suffering. If things don't happen according to our plans and expectations, we label life as "hard". When difficulties arrives we label it as "problems" and our experience of it becomes that of "obstacles". But what if you choose to look at these events as opportunities? You could look at these challenging events as opportunities to grow and to become a better person, but people seldom take this view in life. For some reason it is simply easier to complain, at least they have something to share with other people at social gatherings!
Here is the good news; you don’t have to play the victim any longer! Life is not happening TO you… life is happening FOR you! But you have to grab hold of every opportunity, like you won’t get another chance. You have to go out there and create the things you desire to experience. You have to ask Life what it is you can offer, in stead of asking what can life can offer you!
When you live with purpose, amazing things start to happen. You feel blessed, happy and fulfilled. When you start to see that your life is making a difference, then Life becomes deeply fulfilling.
One of the problems I see with our beloved nation is that there is a lot of Love... but very little Compassion. There is that famous saying; BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD.
Most people I know live borderline lives filled with apathy. They are masters at complaining and they fill their days with mindless activities and gossip. When last did you volunteer at a community center? When last did you take your precious time to make a difference in somebodies life other than your own? The only way our Nation is going to heal and start to head in a new direction, is when we start to take care of each other, and see our similarities rather than our differences.
One thing I have learned this year through my practice and studies, is that all human beings ultimately want the same thing: we all want to be happy, we all want to be healthy, we want to be safe, we all want to be loved, and we all want to have meaning in our lives. without this, we are but hungry ghosts, constantly searching for something to fill the void.
Your new year don’t have to be a carbon copy of years gone before. You can set your intention now to make 2018 a brand new experience! But know this… it will involve change… lots of change, and I know you cringe when you hear the word change… but he who doesn’t embrace change can only expect mediocrity and the mundane. Are you not tired of the same old experiences? Are you searching for something inspiring and fresh? Why not begin the search within... for all the things you seek out there... is ultimately found within!
I have just sold out my first Go Beyond event! What was so amazing to me is the kind of people that booked to come on this experience! They are all aware on some level that something needs to change in their lives… and for those lucky few who will be attending the GO BEYOND EVENT on 11 November, who feels ready to embrace this change, they will be rewarded with a fresh experience in 2018! This event will take them beyond past limitations and begin to free them from the baggage that no longer serves them. They will remember how to claim their power back!
But I have even more exciting news to share… my next Go Beyond™ event will be a new year’s special edition… and it will take place on 27 January 2018!
