At the beginning of 2012, I wrote this post about being so proud of what I had accomplished in 2011 that I wanted to keep doing more of the same. I had no need to write new year's resolutions. What a fantastic place to be.
Every time I think it can't get any better, it does. This year has brought more joy, love, connection, and contentedness into my life than I knew was possible. So it seems kind of funny that this year I want to write resolutions. But they are the ones that are already etched in my heart:
- Love without limits
- Do the work that makes me feel good
- Listen to every one of my crazy, creative ideas
- Meditate, meditate, meditate
- Shine brightly
- Make art
- Take risks every single day
- Hold others, and be held
This quote from Christian D. Larson, a leader of New Thought, sums up my life philosophy and is also a strong foundation for resolutions:
"Be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet. Make all your friends feel there is something special in them. Look at the sunny side of everything. Think only of the best, work only for the best, and expect only the best. Be as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. Give everyone a smile. Spend so much time improving yourself that you have no time left to criticize others. Be too big for worry and too noble for anger."This post was inspired by my dear friend, Amy Taylor, and her article about making 2013 one big party. Rock on, sister.
