December 31: Pray the Journey Is Long

As I end this year-long journey ... I am stirred by all the repeat issues that I have allowed myself to encounter ... because of the need to wait for others to change their ways and see my "right" way (what a waste of time!) ... In 2010 ... I learned to totally forgive, to accept, to grow, and wait for no one because the Spirit controls ... not me!

Overall, it has been an amazing year (2010) ... issues revisited and some mastered; and some issues will always remain unresolved ... until the Spirit within instructs my thoughts and behavior.

I pray you have been successful in your efforts and that you have another successful year loving and accepting your Authentic Self.

Per Daybook:

"The world is round and the place which may seem like the end may also be only the beginning." Ivy Baker Priest.

As Sarah wrote, remember "life as a journey. Life as a pilgrimage. Life as a garden. Life as the highest art."

Today and every day, "Ask for the Power, ask to catch the Flow, and ask to Soar," but most importantly, "never forget that all you have is all you need."





Activity:

1. Enjoy the New Year ... God has offered you another chance to find your meaning of life -- for you!

2. Compare your aspirations for 2010 with the new goals for 20ll. Which goals did you not achieve? Why? Add the uncompleted 2010 goals to the goal list for 2011, if these goals are still important to you.

3. Honor the Old Year with a farewell toast, and welcome the New Year with Thanks! "Celebrate how far you've come, how much you've learned, and the glorious person you Really are. Happy New Year!"
