New Year Resolution

Dear Friends,

How often have your New Year's resolutions been forgotten by

January 2nd? I thought it would be fun to devise a

New Year Ritual to help support those good intentions for 2011.

The ritual involves cleansing ourselves of what we want to

remove from our life and affirming ourselves of the things

we want to invite into our life.

Here is what you need to do. Go to a calm, quiet place you

won't be disturbed. Draw the curtains and dim the lights or

light a candle, or even some incense if you like. Breathe

deeply until you feel relaxed – but don't fall asleep. Let

your mind drift over the past 12 months, think about all

that you've done. Then, write down on a piece of paper

all your achievements and everything that gave you

pleasure this past year.

Next, on another piece of paper, list everything you

want for yourself in 2011. It can be as detailed as you like.

The clearer you are about with your intentions, the

easier it is for the Universe to provide it. When finished,

put this paper in a safe place, like the back of a drawer.

This is the first part of your Resolutions.

The next part involves letting go. Most of us have one or

two habits we'd like to break, like negative thought

patterns that prevent us from doing what we'd like to do.

Or perhaps there is an emotion we can't quite let go of,

one that no longer serves any purpose other than to

bring us down.

On a separate piece of paper, write down the things

you'd like to remove or eradicate from your life.

When you are finished, put the paper where it won't be

disturbed. Then on Tuesday, the 4th, if there are

anything additional you'd like to add to your list, go ahead.

Now you are ready for the last step, which takes place at night.

On the night of the 4th, you are ready for the final step,

which involves burning your lists. Take all your pieces of

paper and burn them, one at a time. As you do, say out loud

or silently, "I no longer need ………… in my life". While

doing this, think about all your negatives going up in

smoke and your wish list gathering strength in the darkness!

Best Wishes for a Very Happy New Year!

happiness

Dear Friends, I have a question for you: What does it take to make you happy? Is it more money, spare time, good friends, a better job? Through my many years of advising clients, I have confronted a common theme regarding happiness. In fact, I've come across it so often that I've named it the "I'll be happy when …" syndrome. It is a very common expression that we have all said. "I will be happy when I don't have to get up at 6:30 am to catch the bus to work." "I will be happy when my husband shows more respect for me." "I will be happy when I get my new car." And it goes on and on about a state of mind that remains in the future rather than in the here and now. Happiness shouldn't be something sagging out there in the world of tomorrow or someday. It isn't a feeling to experience once something else happens. It is something to be experienced now, in this moment. While our anticipation or focus on the future is perfectly fine, connecting happiness to future events can cause us to miss out on any immediate opportunities for joy and fulfillment.Friends, happiness is more powerful when experienced as an immediate emotion than seen as a carrot to be sought after. Interestingly, many people find that when they place future conditions on happiness, even when those conditions are met, they don't feel the pleasure they had expected to. The key is to learn how to let go of the unknown future and the unchangeable past and allow the goodness of the moment to fill you with inner peace. The present moment is all that we have, and when you find meaning and satisfaction in the present, your future will take care of it.Happiness means feeling pleasure about what you have right this minute. In any given moment, if we try hard enough, we can find good and positive things to be happy about. Maybe it is simply that the sun is out and shining warmly on our skin in the winter or we are enjoying a nice cup of hot tea with a good friend. Or maybe after a tough day at work, we know we have done our very best, or we shared time with a child. These are things to think about as we enter the new year. I hope that today you will acknowledge the many blessings in your life that make each moment a cause for joy and happiness. And I must warn you that happiness can be contagious, so you just might end up having a positive effect on those around you as well. Many Happy New Years' Wishes for the year ahead,

Women are wiser

The Obedient Wife' There was a man, who had worked all his life, had saved all of his money, And was a real miser when it came to his money. Just before he died, he said to his wife...'When I die, I want you to take all my money and put it in the casket with me. I want to take my money to the afterlife with me.' And so he got his wife to promise him, with all of her heart, that when he died, she would put all of the money into the casket with him.

Well, he died. He was stretched out in the casket, his wife was sitting there - dressed in black, and her friend was sitting next to her. When they finished the ceremony, and just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said, 'Wait just a moment!' She had a small metal box with her; she came over with the box and put it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket down and they rolled it away. So her friend said, 'Girl, I know you were not foolish enough to put all that money in there with your husband.' The loyal wife replied, I cannot go back on my word. I promised him that I was going to put that money into the casket with him.' You mean to tell me you put that money in the casket with him!?!?!?' 'I sure did,' said the wife.. 'I got it all together, put it into my account, and wrote him a cheque.... If he can cash it, then he can spend it.'

love all

A saint asked his disciples, 'Why do we shout in anger? Why do people

Shout at each other when they are upset?'

Disciples thought for a while, one of them said, 'because we lose our

calm, we shout for that.'

'But, why to shout when the other person is just next to you?' asked

the saint. 'Isn't it possible to speak to him or her with a soft voice? Why

do you shout at a person when you're angry?'

Disciples gave some other answers but none satisfied the saint.

Finally he explained, 'When two people are angry at each other, their

hearts distance a lot. To cover that distance they must shout to be able

to hear each other. The angrier they are, the stronger they will have to

shout to hear each other through that great distance.'

Then the saint asked, 'What happens when two people fall in love? They

don't shout at each other but talk softly, why? Because their hearts are

very close. The distance between them is very small...'

The saint continued, 'When they love each other even more, what happens?

They do not speak, only whisper and they get even closer to each other

in their love. Finally they even need not whisper, they only look at

each other and that's all. That is how close two people are when they

love each other.'

MORAL: When you argue do not let your hearts get distant, do not say

words that distance each other more, else there will come a day when the

distance is so great that you will not find the path to return.

The shoe box

THE SHOE BOX A man and woman had been married for more than 60 years. They had shared everything. They had talked about everything. They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little Old woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had Cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about. For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but One day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said She would not recover. In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took Down the shoe box and took it to his wife's bedside. She agreed that it was time that he should know what was In the box. When he opened it, he found two knitted dolls And a stack of money totaling $95,000. He asked her about the contents. 'When we were to be married,' she said, ' my grandmother told me The secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that If I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and knit a doll.' The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back tears. Only two Precious dolls were in the box. She had only been angry with him two Times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with Happiness. ‘Honey,’ he said, 'that explains the dolls, but what about all of this money? Where did it come from?' 'Oh,' she said, ’that’s the money I made from selling the dolls.'

why walk when you can fly

Once there was a king who received a gift of two magnificent falcons from Arabia. They were peregrine falcons, the most beautiful birds he had ever seen. He gave the precious birds to his head falconer to be trained.

Months passed and one day the head falconer informed the king that though one of the falcons was flying majestically, soaring high in the sky, the other bird had not moved from its branch since the day it had arrived.

The king summoned healers and sorcerers from all the land to tend to the falcon, but no one could make the bird fly. He presented the task to the member of his court, but the next day, the king saw through the palace window that the bird had still not moved from its perch. Having tried everything else, the king thought to himself, "May be I need someone more familiar with the countryside to understand the nature of this problem." So he cried out to his court, "Go and get a farmer."

In the morning, the king was thrilled to see the falcon soaring high above the palace gardens. He said to his court, "Bring me the doer of this miracle."

The court quickly located the farmer, who came and stood before the king. The king asked him, "How did you make the falcon fly?"

With his head bowed, the farmer said to the king, " It was very easy, your highness. I simply cut the branch where the bird was sitting."

We are all made to fly -- to realize our incredible potential as human beings. But instead of doing that, we sit on our branches, clinging to the things that are familiar to us. The possibilities are endless, but for most of us, they remain undiscovered. We conform to the familiar, the comfortable, the mundane. So for the most part, our lives are mediocre instead of exciting, thrilling and fulfilling.

So let us learn to destroy the branch of fear we cling to and free ourselves to the glory of flight.

-- From the Book "Why walk when you can fly"
