Happy New Year Each Day!

Hunter woke up on New Years day not feeling like she was going to have a good day. She didn't want to start the new year feeling badly because it might be an omen of things to come. What if we treated every day as a new year? Today is just different morning on the calendar. In fact, for much of the world, today is just an ordinary day. The Chinese celebrate New Year in February. My Persian contacts celebrate it in the spring. For me, New Year starts in September because I spent so many years in school and that's when school always started.
Of course we want to look into the future with optimism and the desire for improvement in our lives. Jack Nicholson may best have said it in his movie "As Good As It Gets." What if this is as good as it gets? Can we imagine this full life and ourselves as perfect or okay? Can we be happy with what we have? If we aren't, what are we willing to do to change it so that we have a better life?
"The Matrix" is my favorite movie. It illustrates the path that is spiritual. Neo, the main character, is told that he is "The One" early on. He was filled by that concept with expectation of what it meant to him to be "The One". He had to go through utter devastation and all his expectations had to be broken before he was able to see what being "The One" really meant. That's true for all of us. We choose, we often have a period of darkness where it doesn't look like we will get what we want when we begin our spiritual path, or any other path. We have to go through that period so we are really asking for that we can become clearer about what.
I was five when I knew that I wanted to become a doctor. I had limited experience and knowledge of doctors at that time. My experience of the medical field continued to develop as I grew, but I really had no concept of what it meant to be a doctor until I experienced it firsthand. We think about how things are in our minds, but until we have the full experience, we don't really know what that is. I wanted to be a doctor so badly for me to get there that I was willing to have whatever experience it took.

Our understanding of love is also limited by our experience. Our parents love is confined by their pain and perceptions of what love is, and that might lead us to develop an idea that is distorted of it is. Who has the ability to teach about love? We move through our life experiences, and learn as we grow. Each time we have an opportunity to love, or give to someone else, we grow. We learn the most from our ability to love in the real face of adversity and from forgiving what has hurt us in the past.
All the teachings that are spiritual of living in the now. In order to let yourself be in the now, you have to stop hanging on to the past. And....you have to be willing to live your life that is fullest right here and right now. On a level that is certain are all "The One" in that we each have special gifts and opportunities to offer. We each have to find our way through the maze of our existence to see who we are.
Happy New today, tomorrow, and all the tomorrows after that year. May each day of your life be an entire new year of healing and growth.
woke up on New Years day not feeling like she was going to have a good day. She did not desire to start this new year feeling badly given that it could be an omen of what to come. Let's say we treated each and every day as an innovative new year? Today is simply a later date on the calendar. In fact, for most of the entire world, today is just a regular day. The Chinese celebrate New Year in February. My Persian friends celebrate it in the spring. In my situation, New Year starts in September because I spent so many years in school and that is when school always started.
Of course you want to look into the long term with optimism and also the wish to have improvement inside our lives. Jack Nicholson may have said it finest in his movie “As Good As It Gets.” Imagine if this might be as good as it gets? Can we imagine this life and ourselves as perfect or okay? Can we be happy with everything we have? When we aren't, exactly what are we ready to do in order to change it out to make certain that we now have a far better life?
"The Matrix" is my personal favorite movie. It illustrates the spiritual path beautifully. Neo, the key character, is told that he is " The only" early on. That concept filled him with expectation of what it meant to him to be " The One". He previously to endure utter devastation and all sorts of his expectations needed to be broken before he had been able to see just what being " The One" really meant. That's true for all of us. As soon as we begin our spiritual path, or just about any other path we choose, we quite often have a period of darkness where it doesn't seem like we're going to get what we want. We have to proceed through that period to make certain that we are able to become clearer about what we are really asking for. I became five whenever I knew that I wanted in order to become a health care provider. I had limited knowledge and experience of doctors at that time. My experience of the medical field continued to develop as I grew, but I really had no concept of what it meant to be a doctor until I experienced it firsthand. We think of how things are in our minds, but until we have the full experience, we do not really know what this is certainly. I desired to be a doctor so badly that I became willing to have whatever experience it took for me to have there.
Our knowledge of love is also tied to our experience. Our parents love is confined by their pain and perceptions of what love is, and therefore might lead us to build up a distorted idea of what it really is. Who may have the capacity to teach about love? We move through our life experiences, and learn even as we grow. Each time we now have a way to love, or give to another person, we grow. We learn probably the most from our capability to love when confronted with adversity and from forgiving what has hurt us in the past. All the spiritual teachings speak of located in the now. To be able to let yourself be within the now, you need to stop hanging on to the past. And....you have to be willing to live your fullest life the following and right now. On a specific level our company is all "The One" in that we each have carefully selected presents and possibilities to offer. We each need to find our way through the maze of y our existence to see who our company is.
Happy New Year today, tomorrow, and all the tomorrows from then on. May each day in your life be a whole new year of healing and growth.
