Yes 2012 is here I remember planning my life when I was 15 years old, I would say things like by the time I’m 26 I will have done this and that. It seemed so fun to plan and to get the feeling inside that things would turn out exactly the way you wanted them to. The past two years I have been taught many lessons one of them has been to stop planning so much and start living the moment which is all we’ve got and even that, is fleeting! Every second passes us by and we must be “here” in the now and savour it, enjoy it and live it fully counciouly and aware. It’s been quiet a ride! When I thought my life was taking me in the direction of my “plans” I took a turn and decided to take a chance and go in the direction of my “dreams”
Some of the background noise is still there, I hear it from time to time but ignore it most of the time. The “sure thing” is just an ilusion to cover up the fact that we are scared to go after what we really want. It has nothing to do with the economy I think it has more to do with the fact that if we continue to feed that economy we are going to self destruct so we are being “forced” to change our path and that may be the reason why the economy is the way it is, it’s not sustainable, it’s not healthy for us to live in these systems and so we must create new ways to sustain ourselves and our beutiful planet. For many nothing has changed and respecting their path is also something that we must do, we can’t force change on anyone but we can be gentle and compassionate toward them until they are ready to embrace the new.
I have found that it is important to keep your goals in mind but be always open and flexible for sometimes there is a bigger and better dream waiting for you if we allow it to come into fruition, we can’t hold on to things that no longer serve us, we need to learn to live “lightly” by letting go and allowing the magic of life to show us the way. Every time you want something I recommend you ask for guidance, we all get guidance but we must pay attention to the whispers of life that come in the most random ways but they always come!
Love and Blessings for this new beginning!!
