 Strong Foundation for Unlimited Creation: 

What do you Want to Create for 2013?






Every day when I wake up, I ask myself one question: What do I want to create today? Some days, it may be as simple and broad as I am going to create a stress free day. Other days, it might be as complex and specific (and written out in list form), such as I am going to create a day of health, happiness, and productivity by running 7 miles (or attending a yoga class), accomplishing abc and xyz tasks at work, and writing for 30 minutes in my journal. (Notice that after answering the question of what do you want to create then switching to and stating the affirmative of “I am going to create” so as to set the intention of doing.)

            At the beginning of each year, I ask myself a similar question: What do I want to create this year? Then, I make a list of what I intend to accomplish, without necessarily focusing on the how, but rather on the end result. I have learned that are infinite ways to get from point A to B and the means somehow magically manages to appear.

This year, I have decided that I am going to start with and focus on five basic foundations and build what I am going to create from there.

Every year, my dad sits my brother and me down and shares with us his points of wisdom of what he believes to be the most important things to keep in mind to create a life of fulfillment and happiness:

1.     Family and friends: Have a handful of people whom you love and who love you.
2.     Strong relationship with God: Have faith in God and a higher power.
3.     Honor, integrity, and character: Be true to yourself and others in your words and actions.
4.     Health: Live a life being physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight (to
5.     Peace of mind: Do all you can to think and act positively.

He’s right, and these make sense. By focusing on these, then everything else should fall into place. That’s not to say that I haven’t created my goals and New Year’s resolutions for 2013. I have, but by maintaining  a strong foundation, then there are really no limits as to what you can accomplish.

Happy 2013! What do you want to create this year? Begin with a strong foundation and start today. Think about it. Write it down. Picture it. Do it!


Namaste!
