Hello My Friends!
I am not one to make New Year’s Resolutions because I seem to be better at following directions, so instead I wrote a New Year Manifesto or instruction manual for myself:
Make happiness your #1 priority.
See beauty in everything.
Don’t take life so seriously.
Know that the highest ideals of yourself await quietly within you.
Laugh at the things that bother you. (If you are not above it, it is above you.)
Love without offense, bias, judgement or question.
Just love and BE love.
Focus in on what you want today.
Now switch gears to fantasy mode.
Live life through the imagination.
Create daily personas.
Accomplish new things as this new persona.
Love this being so completely you would do anything for her!
She is amazing.
Animate her to the fullest!
She will do anything you ask her to do.
She may be scared at first but talk to her;
let her know you are there for her and you never leave her.
As she does, you do.
Together you will accomplish incredible things!
Whisper encouraging things to her.
She will hear you.
Take her places, she will love it!
Exercise her body; it will make her strong and clear her mind.
Give her strength, purpose, confidence and choices –
make them all great options to choose.
Give her a world of excitement without the ability to see ugliness and fear.
Give her a heart of pure love and fill it with kindness, compassion and service.
Deepen her connection with others and bless all of her relationships.
Lift her up when she is down
and show her how brightly she shines in the darkness.
Tell her to do what she loves.
Not for the purpose of getting ahead or “figuring it out”
but purely so she experiences joy and love every day of her life.
Hear this!
Your life is what you make of it!
Imagine your dream relationship.
Imagine loving people through diversity.
Imagine yourself above negative emotion.
Not emotionless, as if you don’t care, in a negative way
but unaffected, in a positive way.
DO THIS EVERYDAY!
Imagine yourself so in love with everyone.
See yourself this way.
See the world this way.
Live in this fantasy world within the so-called “real world”.
Go within even outside of meditation.
This is being present, staying present, holding fast to what you want.
Let that be what is playing over the “real” story.
Live “real life” but always be running the dream.
Think it.
Feel it.
When you question, when you don’t feel connected,
STOP. Stop asking.
Surrender.
Stop questioning.
Just revere.
Just be love.
And if you cannot connect and feel it – don’t fret.
It will come.
Maybe not today, but it will return.
Stop pushing.
Stop pressing.
Stop asking. Just be.
Be peace.
Stop asking for peace. Just be peace.
Breathe.
BE the feeling of peace.
It is calm.
It is love.
It is contentment.
The questions block the peace. Stop asking.
Start allowing, accepting, start connecting.
If nothing is coming, you are not feeling; start doing.
Or simply accept knowing God is in everything.
You can see God and feel God in everything.
Stop asking. Stop searching. Just see.
God is everywhere.
There is love in everything.
Maintain a state of love.
It feels like wanting the best for everybody,
being completely accommodating
and your beliefs or feelings can be set aside to truly understand
and think of only them.
Be that.
Live in such a manner others are humbled to know you and blessed in your presence.
