In 2007 we had our ups and we had our downs, tragic things happened to the world as well as wonderful things. If anything, 2007 taught us one thing, and that is:

We are vulnerable. But doesn’t it seem we have lived an illusion to have thought otherwise? Hopefully, we have also learned out of tragedy comes goodness. Heroes have walked the same pathway as the victims of the various tragedies, many being victims, themselves. We’ve seen it over and over again, people coming together, often not even considering their own personal safety or well-being, to do wonderful things to save others, to support others, give of their time, their resources, and even their life.

We have to learn Self Responsibility for you are the eternal creator, never the victim.” With that important Principle put to use in our daily lives, we come to understand how our actions and reactions affect our personal life and, in turn, the lives of those around us. Yes, we experience grief and sadness over horrific events and loss of lives. That is a natural reaction, even if the loss of life is thousands of miles away, a stranger whose name we shall never know, families who have loved each other in the same ways we love our families. Strangers, yet, our brothers and sisters in this game called life.

We have seen, most of us from a distance, the incredible strength and fortitude of people, and how in the face of horrendous tragedy and hardship they have stood up, moved forward, like the Phoenix raising up out of the ashes.

Have we been living with too much unnecessary fear and stress in our lives? What have we done with negative energy created by fear and worry? Have we used our creative energy to turn the negative into a positive in any way we can–even in small ways?

Self Expression Lessens Fear. Self expression: going to the place of creativity within our self; to create positive energy; to live with intention; to wipe away the negative and replace it with the positive; to recognize our thoughts are things and have energy; to appreciate the beauty of life; to share our love with others.

The common New Year’s greeting is “Have a peaceful and healthy New Year.” If we are hanging onto fear, worry, stress and tensions, we cannot truly achieve peace and good health, can we?

When you make a positive change that sticks, other positive things will happen too. You’ll also be changing the world just a bit.

New Year’s Resolutions. Positive changes in the world. Have you thought about this? The quickest way to change other folks’ behavior is to change our own?

Happy New Year My Friends!

   Happy New Year Charles Hamel
   You are so right about that.
   People with NEGATIVE thinking, need to undergo a POLE SHIFT.
   NEVER, EVER let anyone convince you that you are a VICTIM.
   Get back up and take charge of YOURSELF.
   The strongest MAGNET is the one where each and every DIPOLE is in PERFECT ALINEMENT.
   The way it should BE.
   The way it was INTENDED to BE.
