What Is Calling You This Year?

Happy New Year everyone!  As we leave one year behind and roll into the next one, I hope the New Year brings you good health and prosperity, and the successful and fulfilling career and personal life that you all desire and truly deserve.

Edith Lovejoy Pierce has a great quote that says "We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day." 

As I am writing my 2020 book I am going to share with you what is in my first chapter.  It’s my New Year’s Resolution.  I believe that we were all born magnificent and somewhere along the way we have forgotten our own magnificence.  Now it’s just a matter of remembering.  Remembering that our natural state of being is one of truth and well-being.  As a teacher and student of human potential, I strive to be my best individual unique self in everything that I do but I’m taking this to another level this year.  My new year’s resolution is to be my truest self.  What does that mean?  It means that I am going to be myself no matter what with no apologies or edits.  To be transparent and honest.  And I mean really honest…honest with myself and everyone else.  Not pretending to be something or someone other than myself or pretending to know more than I do.  Accepting my present moment and my present self to be enough and exactly where I need to be.  Allowing myself to be the fullest expression of myself.  To cope with and accept things truthfully and not for the sake of appearance.  I do not have to be great, I am a simple human being, and like many others I have great powers that I have yet to realize.  They are in me, but can only manifest when my perception of my truest self becomes more truthful.  

So what is calling you this year?
