Resolutions for the New Year! NOT!

Most resolutions are basically how we chastise ourselves for not doing something we thought we should have done or think we should do but don't want to! The underlying premise of a resolution is usually a negative feeling about ourselves or our activities. This can even be true, with very positive resolutions like the following ones:

"I will be more generous." means "I don't think I have been generous enough."
"I will smile and laugh more." means "I don't smile and laugh enough"

You get the idea!

Is it any wonder that we fail at the resolution game!

Let's try this!

The New Year will only have the meaning that YOU give it! (A strange thought, I know!)

Suppose we look at events of the past year (we will CHOOSE to give special significance and meaning to the collection of 12 months we call a year)! Shall we view every event in the period with Love, Forgiveness and Gratitude? This is not a resolution for the coming year, SO Let's do it NOW!

For most of us this will be a challenge! This requires honesty but it is doable!

HERE IS THE KEY:

Apply this Love, Forgiveness and Gratitude to YOURSELF as you look back on the year!

Eventually, you may notice that this practice is not about looking back or looking ahead.

It is about NOW, The Eternal Always!
