 What a year it has been! I personally have had one huge rollercoaster ride, amazing highs and dips, spins, starts, stops and lows. I have felt exhilaration and exhaustion all in the space of a week. I am so grateful for the massive business growth of my business, my extraordinaryfriends and the love of my close family members. I have learnt so much, even though definitely felt someone was peeling the legendary onion with a blunt knife at times; through determination, vision and steely resolve let the layers fall away. Has this made me a better person? Has it all been worth it? Is there a meaning in the pain, the ups and downs? I have to believe that there is and that even though at times I don’t get the process and order of things that there certainly is one. The most profound thing I have learnt this year, through my own experiences and those that surround me, is that where my focus is, my attention and my associations of past experiences, is how I react to the now. It is something I always knew, and the events of this year have certainly brought a deeper level of understanding. I now look to the future more; I now see the present with different eyes. I no longer define myself on whom and how I have been, yet more on who I am being and becoming. I plan to step into 2012 with more vision,more purpose, more courage, more love and much more focused intent than ever before. I have firmly decided that I am a sum of my actions today and I get to choose my actions for tomorrow. I wear my heart on my sleeve; I am real, raw and speak out when I feel there is an injustice. Has this got me in trouble and misunderstood in the past? Of course. This part I will not change. What I now know to change though is when I present myself to the world, now when I speak up, it will be in the voice and presence of hope and optimism, not the voice of overcoming suffering and the ability to survive injustice and unfairness. My mission for 2012 is to be even more grateful, think bigger and contribute in the most meaningful and fulfilling ways. What is your focus, mission and intention for 2012? Here’s a thought, instead of focusing on healing why not expect the most miraculous, wonderful and profound experiences? It is said that what we expect we usually get. I often wonder if the intensity that we focus on healing is actually misdirected to the ‘wound’ itself. I wish you the most awesome Christmas and New Year, filled with love, laughter and good fortune, and may what you are hopeful for materialise in your life. |
