New Year’s Resolutions - Make It Real This Time

We are at that time of our lives when it is time to make New Year’s resolutions. If you are like most people, you probably think of this as a fad, because these resolutions are just a gimmick - something suitable just for the festive season. Some of people will just do this for giggles or just to share with friends and family in some party to attract a few cheers. Curiously within a week, all those goals that you set for yourself become a faded memory and within another week, it has disappeared from your sights. Well, my friend, if this sounds familiar to you, don’t call them New Year’s Resolutions just call them New Year’s Fantasies. You know how long fantasies last, don’t you? What return on investment on your time and effort do fantasies generate? Absolutely nothing. You remain where you are in life - your future continues to become the mirror image of your past. You continue to remain in that ever-complaining mode and in misery, knowing fully well how uncomfortable you are in your confort zone.

Let this New Year of 2009 be the turning point of your life. You’ve tried the old-fashioned way that you have learned and grown up with so far and that pattern of living has brought you where you are today. What you do today and prepare for the New Year will shape your future.

This New Year of 2009 is the Year of the Ox in the Chinese calendar. According to the Chinese tradition, people who will be born in the year 2009 will be stable and persevering, tolerant and have strong characters. The resoluteness and fearlessness of those to be born in this year of 2009 will be unprecendented and they will see their goals and resolutions to their completion. Hard work will not faze these newborns - they will just get it done and it will be done right.

Wow! Is that not amazing? Mankind today around the globe is at a defining moment. We can continue living with the old-fashioned and sub-optimal practices and go deeper into the caverns of extinction or break through those self-deprecating paradigms, acquire the knowledge to weather the storm and emerge transformed and liberated. Let this New Year of 2009 be the year that you are born again.

For the first time in your life, make a list of New Year’s Resolutions - no more fantasies please. You can make outrageous resolutions and you will see them manifesting into reality. You see, a resolution is infinitesimally more powerful than those fantasies of the past. You know why? That’s because a resolution is the evolution of a sincere thought, upgraded into heartfelt wish, enveloped with a passionate feeling and implemented with affirmative action. So far, your so-called resolutions stopped at the semi-first stage of the evolutionary process - at the thought. No wonder they did not materialize in reality.

This New Year of 2009, make it different. When you make your list with this perspective in mind you will find that the Universe begins to correspond with the nature of your song. Now, more than ever before, it is important that you take action here and now, so that the future reveals a dramatically different life for you than have experienced before. Remember that stress never helped solve any problem - it only aggravates it. This New Year of 2009, make it payback time - put the stress on stress this year and squish it to the ground. You can do it - or is there an option?
