 Picture credit: Carlos Castañeda Jr. This morning was a cold, but refreshing one to start my day. I was on the 6:48 AM train going to downtown. The train was going from one station to another; I was getting closer and closer to my destination. Time is ticking and we are all getting closer and closer to the New Year! Holiday spirit can be found everywhere – decorations, shopping crowds, secret homemade recipes, holiday greeting cards and Christmas songs. It is the time of giving and sharing, loving and forgiving, reviewing and planning.
December is a transition of an ending and a beginning. Before saying goodbye to 2011, it is a time to review what we had achieved, improved and accomplished. Soon a new year will begin. It is time to start a year with new goals, new perspectives and new adventures for next year. Although there were lots of ups and downs in this year, I found myself listening to my heart closely moment by moment. Slowing down my pace and my thoughts gave me time to heal, to absorb, to evaluate and ask myself: when is the time to just listen my heart, quiet my mind and when is the time to take action, keeping my projects to move forward? Life is a constantly full of choices. Fortunately, there is no good choice or bad choice. What you choose was just a choice pointing us to the direction of where we want to go. We never get lost or ever go astray of the path we have chosen. The only thing we have to do is to pick a goal and go for it! It doesn't matter whether our goal is big or small. We just need to know there are lots of ‘stepping stones’ along the road. They have different shapes, colors, sizes and textures – round, square, sharp, smooth, colored, plain – representing challenges that we may face during the journey of searching. When we step with confidence, strength and trust, each ‘stepping stone’ becomes our guidance leading us to the path of success and happiness. Making small steps is a key of success; it builds our foundation profoundly and solidly. Eventually, we no longer just walk, but dive deeper and deeper to the ocean of possibilities. Just remember: keep our intention clear with an open heart, we already half of the way to success. Be excited and get ready because the new and amazing year is coming soon. Life is good as always. Cherish every moment, every day. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! Love and peace, Mandy
