“Are you happy with how this year ended up?”

“I don’t really know.  I haven’t given it much thought.”

“If you don’t know, how are you going to make sure next year ends up well?”

The years have a tendency to quickly tick by, as we grow older in this physical lifetime.  Our years on the planet in this body are limited.  We all know that our time is limited, yet sometimes we live as though there is “plenty of time.”

That is an interesting concept – “plenty of time.”  On one hand, that is exactly as you should live, so that you plan for a long-term future.   On the other hand, you might be living “for tomorrow,”  where you put off the things that you maybe should be doing today.

For example, maybe you would like to make a career change, but are “waiting” until the children grow up, you have more energy, you have more money, etc.  The reasons are endless if you feel there is always time to do things later.

However, maybe you feel as though “there is no time like the present,” and you live as though if you don’t do it today, there may not be another opportunity in the future.  In this perspective of your life, you may feel that you have “plenty of time,” however, you understand how precious your time is and want to make the most of each moment.

When you look back on this calendar year, it might be a good opportunity for you to identify the things, people, and events that you have been “putting off” because you feel there will always be time for those things later.  It’s always good to have your beacons in place so that you know where it is you would like to go, and you can continually move in those directions.

Your time in this life is limited.  Your spirit is infinite.  Yes, there is time for your spirit, but things that you have set out to do in this lifetime should not wait.  Be willing and able to allow for yourself to take advantage of each moment remaining.  We are not saying to “run yourself” ragged with things to do.  No, quite the contrary.  You might find that you need to spend less time “doing” and more time “being.”

Be present with those that you are with.  Give them 100% of your attention.  Turn off the screens and gizmos and sit spirit to spirit with whoever you are with.  Let go of the need to “accomplish” and understand how to “achieve.”  Do not measure those achievements with accolades and praise.  Measure those achievements with your spirit.

Ask yourself, why you think you came into this lifetime?  Although, we probably will never know why for certain, we want to make sure that we achieve the things that we set out to do, so that we might not have to redo those things in future lifetimes.

Reflect on this past year, and make some decisions about the future.  Are you happy with how you have spent those moments of your life up to this point?  If not, now is the time to change all of that, and to make the commitment to something beyond this physical world.  Make a commitment to spending your remaining moments with intention and love!
