Today is the first Monday of the new year.  Are you feeling the excitement of a fresh year?  Do you have the incentive to pursue your passions?

As the calendar comes to an end each and every year, it gives us an opportunity to reset, place and adjust our beacons, and to move forward – one simple step at a time.   Maybe you feel exhausted, and do not even want to get out of bed.  It is those times when the placement of your beacons is important.  No matter how supposedly “simple” the beacons may be, it is important to know where it is you would like to go on this beautiful Monday morning.

Yes, it’s okay to be worn out and tired.  However, it is not okay to let that feeling of what you think is exhaustion to immobilize you!   If you feel that your life is looking bleak, or you do not have the energy for another week and year, take a “gratitude inventory.”  What is it you are grateful for?  Maybe it begins with being grateful for the ability to see with your eyes, hear with your ears, walk with your feet, and to love with your heart.

Life is exactly where it needs to be at this moment in time.  Understand that when you learn the “lesson” you can move forward into a new era.  Nothing is permanent and “this too shall pass.”

For those of you that have a sense of excitement to begin the first week of the new year, we applaud that excitement.  Let this be the year where you follow your passions and let go of whatever it is that may be tethering you to the familiar.   You, too, may wish to take a “gratitude inventory” so that you understand that your life is perfect the way it currently is.  When you understand where it is you are in life, you can better see your future.

When we climb a mountain range, it involves many “highs and lows.”  When we are on the summit, we can see what we think is the pathway for miles.   When we are descending the summit to approach the next mountain peak, we often are caught in the trees with little view of our pathway.  Let go of the need to have all of the answers on your life’s journey.  Know that whatever path you are on is the perfect path for you at this moment in your life.
