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.
Namaste!
