Another year is about to close it's doors, and a new year
will open before us. For most, this past year was undoubtedly filled with many
challenges. No matter how you faced these obstacles, whether you succeeded or
failed in overcoming them, they also came with the wisdom of valuable life
lessons. Each obstacle came with it's own unique gift. Each darkness also held
within it Light. It may not have seemed so at first.
No matter how filled your year was with challenges, each
day also brought much to be grateful for. This New Year's Eve, before leaping
into another set of resolutions, take some time to pause and reflect on the
year gone by. Give yourself a gift of time for reflection, and time sit with
yourself and review previous months.
As we end the year, it seems particularly fitting to
devote some time to reflecting on the year past and where we find ourselves as
the new beginning is upon us. We revisit the past to gain some insight into the
future. An honest, non-judgmental self-analysis can be beneficial to gain a
clear picture of what was.
Allow a quiet moment to stop and notice yourself. Take
stock of how wonderful you already are. Who you are is more valuable than what
you do. Because of who you are, the people who come into your world are touched
and changed. Your very presence affects others.
This year, live life true to your own Spirit.
