"Making New Year resolutions is one thing. Remaining resolute and seeing them through is quite another."
~ Alex Morritt
Have you abandoned the resolutions you made just mere weeks ago?
The typical tradition of setting resolutions in January found many declaring that this year would be different resolving to spend more time with family, get in shape, save money, or quit smoking.
Unfortunately, by now, most of these promises have already been broken and sadly will produce little in terms of memorable change.
"Clear visions and positive goals, leads to positive actions and a purposeful life." ~ Laila Gifty Akita
Setting intentions has been my preference as they involve commitment to a choice. A desire to move into action toward expansion. A shift in thought paradigm that leads me to vibrate higher into an improved vision of my actualized self.
"You will find there are times you must grasp your life with both hands and forcefully steer it in a new direction and then strain to hold your course until the storms of fear, weakness, and doubt abate." ~ Richelle E. Goodrich
In order to do this we must determine to walk through the fires which make us take stock of old habits that no longer work to our advantage.
Even when things appear to be going well, a shift begins in the desire to aim higher, and a decision to work consistently toward goals that result in lasting change and a renewal.
Running from the heat of change is futile and we must become mindful participants in the experience. The decision to walk across hot coals toward a more expansive self is challenging, but the results of our efforts allow an elevated merging of a more evolved mind, body, spirit at the end of the heated path.
The New Year is still yet young, so dust off those resolutions and set your intention toward personal growth. The rewards that come with releasing all fear of the heat of transformation are great indeed.
"Seek to know thy soul; strength of love, light and life." ~ Laila Gifty Akita
Are you still on track with the resolutions you made for this year?
Do the goals you have set meet your truest desire for lasting change?
What internal fires have you found yourself resisting to walk through in spite of the promises made to self?
