A Different Take On Your New Year And Three Keys to Creating Exactly What You Want In Your Life

happy new year 2016

We inevitably reflect on the past as years turn from one to another; what changed over the course of the past 12 months, and what didn’t.

It’s almost like every year we’re forced to look at our life’s report card, reviewing our marks in those things accomplished and those others that might give us reasons to doubt whether or not that one thing we really wanted to change will ever change, because here it is another year gone, and some things regretfully seem to remain just the same.

Even though some things don’t seem to change, the fact is things are always changing. It’s a scientific and spiritual fact that every moment is a moment of change. You could say our reality is nothing but a constant stream of change happening in the ever-present.

Buddhist philosophy can get pretty heavy, but all we need to focus on for the moment is that changing those things we want to change in our lives is not about changing the “thing” itself– financial situation; intimate relationship; relationships with kids or family or business colleagues; or your body; it’s not about change. Remember, change is always happening anyway.

It’s about Creation.

The question becomes, “What is possible? What can I make happen in my love life, in my body, in my energy, in my business?”

There are three keys to creating what you want from the ever-constant flow of universal change:

1) Express gratitude. Cultivate an emotion of gratitude for the many gifts in your life. Be grateful for what you have, even if it seems trivial. With gratitude comes compassion. It doesn’t matter what religious tradition you’re from, if any. They all emphasize compassion for others, which isn’t possible without compassion for yourself, too. Gratitude affirms your connection with a universe that wants to extend your compassion as much as you have for others.

2) Focus on what you want, not what you don’t. You would think this one would be a no-brainer, but you don’t have to look far to see people who react to life’s challenges with fear, which becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, creating the very thing they didn’t want. What you focus on expands. It’s as simple as that. If what you want is going to serve others as well as yourself, life expands that desire even more so, and will move to serve you. Shift the fear of what you don’t want to happen, and turn that focus to what you do want to happen.

3) Observe Your Belief System. A belief is the feeling of certainty about what something means. In other words we’re all making this up as we go along. If you believe a financial catastrophe means you can no longer pursue a dream, then bam, there you go. Dream gone. But if you believe that there is a greater purpose behind this catastrophe for you to become more of what you’re supposed to be, then guess what you’ll be, as long as you commit to that belief. That goes for everything. Beliefs are everything.

By recognizing that change is happening all the time, whether we want it to or not, we can share in the most absolute, undeniable truth of reality–all things change. We can become change. We are change. And we can help direct it.

Trust yourself. Love yourself. Be grateful and accepting of this and every present moment. Believe that the universe is here to work for you, even through life’s inevitable challenges. It’s here to reveal to you the person you’re to become in spiritual and actual richness.

You are in an ever-constant state of change that will become your greatest vision, if you allow it. Have an amazing and prosperous year ahead. I wish you unconditional happiness and an abundance of wealth.
