New Year’s Revolution

Revolution? Well, why not? The end of the year is as good a time as any to turn around and around, looking at your life. Is your life going the way you want it to? Is it going toward something? Is it going away from something? Is it satisfying?

If your life is anything like mine, probably parts of your life are satisfying, parts not. New Year’s is a good time to consider: What things (specifically) are stopping me from having a more satisfying life?

If the answers seem to be external (need more money, need a better job, etc.) then I suggest you try again, looking a little deeper. What traits within you, what robots dictating your behavior, get in the way of your having the life you want? Suppose that nothing external in your life could possibly change for the better – how could you change yourself, your mind and spirit, to have a better life within those circumstances?

This is a good season for a little quiet time, preparing your mind and spirit so that you may enjoy a turn for the better, a New Year’s revolution.

Happy New Year, one and all.
