A new – New Years Resolve

I’m sure by now most of us have thought about some type of resolution or goal that they wish to accomplish in the New Year. At least that’s a custom in the western world. Often the resolutions have to do with exercise, weight loss, education or a plethora of often silly objectives demanded of us by popular culture and advertisers. In reality that means that we are choosing to do something because someone who has something to gain if we agree to do it, has told us too. Fit into that tiny dress, whiten your teeth, buy an ab machine.

I invite you this year to re think those goals and approach them from a different direction. First remember that you are perfect in your unique self. A one of a kind masterpiece in the entire universe. Deep inside you know everything you need to know. You are beautiful/handsome enough as you are and those who don’t see it aren’t paying enough attention. And your teeth are just fine. You are just fine. You are wonderful.

If we are going to work on some aspect of our being let’s work on our capacity of kindness, our ability to reach out and be of service to others, our love and respect for humanity. Let’s resolve this year to bring joy into someone’s life. Let’s plan to help someone out. Let’s work on creating a world of peace.

Peace is a practice and I look forward to working with you this coming year to change our reality.

Peace – Brad
