The first day of the new year, we tend to set these expectations and come up with a (or some) new year resolution(s). This year, I decided to not go with one. Instead, I decided to bring in 2022 with Love & Gratitude. I believe these two things kept me motivated on those days when I wanted to stop. They kept me pushing when I felt trapped and felt that there was no where to go. They kept me grounded; therefore, the only way to look was: up.
The past couple years brought a lot of fear, uncertainty and pain. Today, I hope you can look at this present moment and be in a place of gratitude and know that you are loved. Sometimes, we just have to start with one thing to be grateful for that will lead to a list of 5 things then to a growing list of things to be grateful for. That one thing that you can be grateful for is just waking up today. Perhaps, you are grateful for your mind. The mind is a powerful and amazing tool that helps us create. So, what do you need to do to make those steps towards what you want to create? The other thing is knowing that you are loved. Yes, it may feel good to be loved by someone. However, the most important love is to be able to look in the mirror and say yourself: I LOVE YOU. Because when you do and you can become your own best friend; the power is yours. No one can control you and keep you from your truth and your inner knowing.
So, for today, SMILE. You are alive. You have your mind. You have love. And you have the power to choose your attitude in whatever circumstance that you are in, and tell yourself - this too I will overcome. Even if it's a baby step forward, at least it's a step forward.
With Love & Gratitude 💖
