Don't blink, or time might pass you by. Just look ahead and keep your eyes centered as everything else around you spins. Did we make the mistake of thinking everything revolved around us? Are we walking alongside the linear concept of time or does it keep circling around us until we break these hypnotic spells that keep us in these seemingly unbreakable patterns? If your head is spinning like mine is, you're not alone.
Who do we see when we look at our reflection? Do we recognize ourselves? Are there scars, visible pain, happiness, pride, disappointment? Look deeper... there is strength. Strength to do anything. Are we who we want to be? Are we who we're meant to be? Are we where we're meant to be? Are we close? Do we care? Why should we? Everything is just going to end up how it's supposed to- right? The scary part is, if we don't live our own lives, we will just be told how to live it... then what are we living for? A paycheck? Keeping up an appearance? A cookie cutter life? Where everyone is in constant competition with each other and never (or have seldom but very brief, superficial moments of...) feeling satisfied. I don't know about you, but I'm tired of hearing all the complaining and gossip.
The trick is, to cover your ears and close your eyes. Don't listen to anyone. Don't settle because you feel stuck. Don't let those HYPNOTIC tricks fool you. Listen to your gut. Don't watch what everyone else is doing. Do your own thing. The world has enough fakers, we need more shakers. Shake it up and do something different. We all have different strengths, weaknesses, interpretations of the world around us, and once we let go of expectations we can see how much of a difference we can make. And how much of a difference it can make for us.
Now is when past and future are one. Only NOW we are gifted with being able to take action. In the past, what's done is done. In the future, nothing has happened yet. Now, in the present moment, in the spirit of RESOLUTION making... live in the present. Stop what you're doing. Appreciate where you are, no matter where you are. Remember this moment. Remember the sights, smells, noises, breeze or anything you can touch and feel. This is the age of mindfulness. We can't blame ignorance when we just need to pay attention. You were somehow brought to this moment... and NOW, with intent, take it from here...
The next time we look at our reflections, I hope we see determination in our eyes and a smile knowing we are about to dominate 2018. Look for hope, look for light, look for passion and put it into action.
Break free of the HYPNOTIC traps we're constantly thrown into. As the door to 2017 is closing as fast as our minds are trying to wrap around it, a new door to 2018 is opening with endless possibilities of where you can be taken. Which door to 2018 do you open? All these questions we ask ourselves daily... but NOW in these present moments, we can do anything. This is not for anyone else but YOU. Do this for you...
Like the saying goes, "We are destined to become who we decide to be."
As we kiss 2017 goodbye... let's take 2018 and lead the way!
Love Always,
Lainey
