Hey
Quester’s, what’s new? Hope all is well!
I’ve been busy with study, Christmas and my two creative children who will be
both in school in 2013. I know it sounds cliché, but it is quite astounding
what children can teach us, especially when they come up with ideas or beliefs
that are beyond their years and you can’t ever remember even discussing
anything like that before. It is delightful watching them grow into their
unique personalities. Hold onto your childlike creativity for as long as you
can – reclaim it if it was dragged out of you.
I met a man
from China who talked about his childhood dream of being an artist, but with so
much pressure considering the ‘one child policy,’ he had to give it up! I was surprised
to hear that he did not even have it as a hobby; I suggested that he could have
both, I told him to buy paint! He caught a flight the next day. You can only
plant a seed. Hopefully eight hours in a plane gave him time to consider the
idea? Hope he takes it up again for the sake of his child and himself.
Now let’s
talk about you and preparations for another new year. This is not so much about
New Year’s resolutions; it’s more about desire, planning and management. Let’s
start with some questions:
·
What
are you doing in 2014?
·
Any
highlights, events or holidays?
·
Any
study or research to be done?
·
Will
your spiritual Quest continue – has it altered its course?
·
Is
it a year of dedicating your time to helping or heartening others (comforting those
in crisis or caring for elderly relatives)?
·
Will
this be a year of completion or new beginnings?
·
Are
you willing to take some risks for your beliefs or creative visions?
·
Will
your creativity be on show in 2014?
Prepare for
the New Year by looking over your desires. What is it that you want? The
beginning of another year gives you time to ponder, plan and activate. Don’t
put things off – if you don’t have a good reason for doing so! Stand your
ground and make your choice. Being too cautious can hinder your journey, taking
large risks without planning will also cause set-backs; take the middle ground
and find satisfaction. Once you know what you want make preparations to get
there! Making plans gives you a guiding focus to reach new heights.
