New Year's Wish
Today is New Year's day 2010. As I was contemplating my vision for the new year and even the coming decade, I wanted to create something easy to remember. So often we jot down our goals as the new year begins with a new found enthusiasm only to lose track and go back to our old comfortable habits.
I came up with some action steps that begin with the lettet L
For this new year, I am going to lose any of my old negative thought patterns like guilt, worry, blame and excuses.
I am going to leave the past behind, but I will learn from my experiences.
I will look forward to the future with only positive expectations.
I will live my life in the present because time is the most precious commodity
given to us by our Creator and I choose to use only thoughts that lift the spirit of myself or someone else.
I am committed to love and laugh more and lend a hand wherever it is needed.

Part 2 - The Right Questions by Debbie Ford:
7. Does This Choice Empower Me or Does It Disempower Me?
Empowerment leads to deep inner knowing. One feels strong and alive and moves boldly through life. Empowerment opens us to higher levels of consciousness and states where pure love is endless. Making choices that disempower you, however leaves you feeling insecure and fearful. Which type of choice will move you towards the realization of your dreams?
8. Is This an Act of Self-Love or Is It an Act of Self-Sabatoge?
Self-love may be one of the most difficult tasks we have as humans. When we allow ourselves to love and respect ourselves we have peace of mind, balance and tranquility. We also have the confidence to ask for what we want out of life. Choosing self-love allows us to claim our greatness and make choices you feel good about.
9. Is This an Act of Faith or Is It an Act of Fear?
Every choice is either one of faith or one of fear. Faith based choices open doors to our future. We are able to view the world from a higher perspective and trust in things we cannot see, feel, or know. Choosing from a place of fear, on the other hand, keeps us rooted in the past. We become trapped and repeat old patterns and the danger of missed opportunities is abundant. We are stuck.
10. Am I Choosing from My Divinity or Am I Choosing from My Humanity?
Simply put, can my choices lift me out of my smallness as an individual into a place where you have the wisdom and power to transcend any human struggle?
Good luck Bob - You are the right track!
