Welcoming 2015 Its another year, another number! No more significant than our need to give ourselves an excuse to kickstart our life in some shape or form: Another Hope! Well why not! This year, to venture into the New Year I chose to be surrounded by impeccable Souls, at a location that screams Nature & serenity, Thoughts that are nothing short of Love, Success and Forgiveness! While we repeat every year, the same patterns on New Years Eve i chose something that would exemplify the year coming: We talked, we walked, we ate and we did some soul work! On our drive back we chose to talk about Forgiveness: The emptiness project! Where you take people that are no longer enhancing your life and releasing them from your life! A cleansing in other words. Its a practice Ive done for a decade now and Ive received nothing short of better people and souls that have filled those places I emptied! Its not easy, and you will fear loosing your social status at times not to mention the fear of loneliness! As well Every 5 years I clean my work plate with any jobs that are not fulfilling! This was my 2nd time in a decade i resigned from all my jobs to start a clean slate! And it wasnt a day before New Years that I received a job offer that is better and bigger! Point being if you dare and if you take a step the world around you will respond specially if you have great friends around to support you! My quotes about Daring, my toasts to the crazy ones and endless tags to motivational lines is not without my own practice! I practice what I put out there and constantly strive to follow it even more strictly! Sounds a lot: maybe! Then start little and grow big! Dont close your mind but open it with Wonder and take a small step by simply FORGIVING people and incidents in your life that dont bare anything positive to you! Forgiveness is a difficult area for most of us. Anyone who has a problem with loving themselves is stuck in this area. Forgiveness opens our hearts to self-love. Many of us carry grudges for years and years. We feel self-righteous because of what someone else did to us. I call this being stuck in the prison of self-righteous resentment. We get to be right. We never get to be happy. I can hear you saying, “But you don’t know what they did to me; it’s unforgivable.” Being unwilling to forgive is a terrible thing to do to ourselves. Bitterness is like swallowing a teaspoon of poison every day. It accumulates and harms us. It’s impossible to be healthy and free when we keep ourselves bound to the past. The incident is long gone and over with. Yes, it’s true that they didn’t behave well. However, it’s over. Sometimes we feel that if we forgive them, then we’re saying that what they did to us was okay. One of our biggest spiritual lessons is to understand that everyone is doing the best they can at any given moment. People can only do so much with the understanding, awareness, and knowledge that they have. Invariably, anyone who mistreats someone was mistreated themselves as a child. The greater the level of violence, the greater their own inner pain, and the more they may lash out. This is not to say that their behavior is acceptable or excusable. However, for our own spiritual growth, we must be aware of their pain. So here is to the daring, the crazy ones and the ones that simply want to get better and better every day and every minute for that is the purpose of life! Isnt it? Otherwise we will be stagnant! But I know we are meant to be a Movement :) Much love 2015! Some of my most cherished Moments in images!
