The New Year’s Resolution

Good Day Bravehearts

A brand new year! A new beginning, a new awakening, a new start. Cast off the old 2014 and bring in the new. 2015 will improve our lives.
Oh brilliant bravehearts, what changes will you make? Will you be daring and bold or more cautious and thoughtful. Will the year bring in a brave new you or will you persist along a path of current successes. An invigorating new year with promise and aspiration. Fun and frolic, work and achieve. The self fulfillment of an accomplished goal, the joy of success, of learning and knowledge. A bar set high enough to be out of reach, but reach for it you must. Goals and resolutions, standards of achievements set high enough that you must strive. Work for it! The unattainable star is a goal to reach for.

Who will you be in this lofty new year? Your goals are your own personal quest. A goal that you can achieve gives you confidence and satisfaction. Done! A reward for the efforts of knowing who you are and utilizing current skills. Now another goal. Another small one that you can manage. Achieved! More success, more self confidence. A step towards the ultimate goal. That shining star that brightly guides you. Another goal, but maybe a bit more difficult. A goal that challenges you to use more skills, more knowledge, perhaps making new connections. It might take a bit more time, but you can manage it. Maybe you need another course, more research, ask more questions.
The New Years Resolution is an interesting idea. Everyone needs to improve themselves. Set a goal and focus on the achievement of this goal. Every year, you set a goal, with mindful attention to it. Every year, your self fulfillment progresses. Be a better you. Fulfill that goal. Focus and strive. Concentrate your effort. Don’t give up on it. Even if you only partly manage it, set it again next year. It needs more courses, it needs more research, it needs more focus, it needs more help, more collaboration. Even the attainment of small goals, puts you on the right track.
That large looming star that shines so brightly on you, guiding and lighting your path, does not diminish. Follow your star. It’s the beacon in your life. If it tells you to redirect your route, put faith in it’s wisdom. No achievement accomplished is a loss to you. It only builds more and more skills. Skills that you will put to use to attain that goal. That course was necessary for you. For example, a course in cooking leads to to the goal of being an accountant. How so? Perhaps your business will be more successful if you entertain your guests. Maybe you need to run that marathon, so that your clients know that you have other interests. Maybe you need to volunteer with the business community so that they know who you are and that you care about them. Why would they support you if you don’t support them, or it they don’t know who you are.
All of your fine education lost for lack of contacts.
The New Years resolution is an idea on focusing on goal setting and on personal growth. A cultural phenomena that all are encouraged to participate in. Is it worth your while to set a goal? All around the world, people do it. What about you?

Hail Bravehearts

To the joy of your being, to the joy of living, to the energy in your body and the brilliance of your minds. Hail to the conquest of the journey of your life, to freedom and prosperity and the joy of close friends, connections and family. The journey of your life begins with birth and takes you through the time travel of your years on the planet. Years of hope, of nurture, of care, of intelligence and rewards, of sorrow and hardship, but still the life in your body and the intelligence in your mind, propels you onwards and forwards towards goals of endearing affection.
For who are we, without love? Love for each other, love for our passions, our home, our family, our friends.
The nurture and care that brings a child to the planet. Care and compassion, love and acceptance, kindness and support. The brilliant wonder of creation, yours to hold, to have and to cherish. Life from life, heart to heart, healing wounds and easing sorrow, joy and happiness and love.

The gifts that we give to each other, companionship, support and friendship, heal wounds and nurture affection. Peace, brotherhood, brotherly love. A casual gift, smiles and acknowledgement, conversation and acceptance. Casual gifts, small and simple, life supporting and generous. The kindness of reaching out, of touching the heart, of being generous, selfless and worthy. The kindness of being human and humane. Mercy.
Greatness and miracles, good deeds and generosity, the healing of casual acts of kindness, one by one, over and over, again and again, until the soul is saved and the heart can sing once more.
Hail, bravehearts. To the awesome journey of your lives. Be brave. Save and be saved.
