WORDS TO THE WISE for JANUARY 2011!
Welcome to the New Year 2011. The month of January is about changing the way we see ourselves. About not being fixed in our views. “This is who I am and I can’t change!” That view is selfish, it limits you and by limiting yourself you limit others “experience” of you. You hold them back as much as you hold back yourself. January is about you finding the courage to change. Let your New Year’s resolution be to become more pliable. If not for yourself, for those around you. In the past it was thought that we need to be strong for others and strong meant inflexible: to be the rock. Well, newsflash: rocks change a little every day. They are transformed by their environment: they are shaped by what surrounds them. They were “make-up” was created in such a way as to be able to ‘shift”, and so were you. No human was born to remain frozen in time: in our thoughts, our beliefs, our physical bodies or our environment. But change takes courage. It takes faith. But in order for us to not only survive, but to truly flourish we must change: we must evolve and what better time to begin than the first month of a brand new year.
