Usher in a magical 2011

It is the last day of 2010 and and a brilliant time to let go of what’s past and create a world of possibilities for 2011.

If 2010 has been a fruitful year for you, then you can continue your new year on a positive note. Spend today filled with gratitude for the many blessings... a thankful heart leaves room for even more goodness to flow in.

If 2010 has not been a swell year for you, decide right now to let it go. Instead of focusing and wasting your energy on how awful or unhappy it had been, might as well focus your attention and energy on the brand new year ahead. 5 mins focusing on the negative is the same as 5 mins focusing on the positive. The difference is that the negative will hold you anchored to the past while the positive has an amplifying effect that can help to propel you forward. So focus your energy on what you want; not on what has already happened. Rather than rehash what went wrong (which is already in the past), why not focus on what could be better?

A useful starting question you can ask yourself is: What would make you happy?

If you don’t know what makes you happy, then most likely you will find yourself caught in an endless web of unhappiness. If you don’t know what makes you happy, then it is challenging or near impossible for anyone else in your life to help or give a little nudge. So if you desire to create a different life for yourself, spend some moments today thinking about what would make you happy.

As William Jennings Bryan says "Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice". I came across this quote during my dark nights and it has helped me to create the life I desire. In the same way, you too can start 2011 on a fresh new note.

So, as the brand new year dawns, may you experience joy, love, passion, laughter, fun and peace in all you do. May it be a time of new beginnings and the enjoyment of being. Happy new year!
