Maybe there is a realisation that you didn’t achieve what you wanted at the beginning of the year. The resolutions and commitments that you made last New Year haven’t materialised BUT you may have also received a whole lot more (both good and bad) other than that which you ‘told’ the universe you wanted.
The tendency at this time of year is to take the annual holiday at the beach, lounge around home or partake in energetically schussing down the snowy slopes of some majestic mountain.
In this place of refuge you may find yourself dreaming, planning and resolving what you want to get from the year ahead – the New Year’s Resolution is the usual form that this takes. This process tends to have limited success. How many times have you committed to losing weight, getting fitter, having a busier practice with your New Year’s Resolution?
New Year’s Resolutions are most often around yourself and what YOU will GET. Within this attitude is an element of lack. There is a lack of something that needs to be gained or maybe something is broken that needs to be fixed. It could be money, practice members, happiness, habits, beautiful relationships (insert your New Year’s Resolution here).
How about considering this from the perspective that everything is perfect – just the way it is right now.
- How would you then think?
- What would you believe?
- How would you then act if you knew that everything is in perfect order?
- How will you then relate to the formless intelligence, the universal intelligence, the omnipresent consciousness or whatever you take it to be.
What if you simply gave credit to this power?
Gave thanks to this power?
Gave gratitude to this power?
What say you went back through every time in the previous day, week, month or year and gave thanks for the BAD SHIT that happened?
It’s easy to be grateful for the good stuff. It’s a lot trickier to be grateful for the bad.
My viewpoint is that to the degree that you thank you will grow rich (Apologies to the late Napoleon Hill, author of the classic, Think and Grow Rich.) – BTW get it and read it.
Being grateful is such a passive, yet powerful position. Some of the most successful chiropractors that I know are also the most humble, compassionate and grateful people I know.
There is no coincidence here – I suggest that it is a universal law.
So, as you welcome in another year whether you are at the beach, lounging around home or partaking in snow sports, shopping or sipping champers resist the urge to tell the universe what you are going to GET.
Simply express your gratitude for all that is – warts and all. Affirm the perfection of life and watch the universe bestow its riches on you.
