Who are you really? What do you want to do with the rest of your life? We all think these types of thoughts, especially this time of year. The New Year’s Resolution Revolution. A time when we do our best to cast aside those “things” that just don’t work for us any longer. We do our best to change, to find a new sense of order, peace and success for our lives. But it’s not easy.

Change won’t happen until you get real about that which is keeping you stuck in the muck and mire of the old ways. Routines and beliefs that parents, a spouse, an out-molded part of you, friends, or the community say about how you should live your life, what to eat, how to be, or what to say. Argh! There is nothing harder on your spirit, that beautiful spirit that inhabits your body and animates your being, than to live someone else’s life. Georgia O’Keefe said something to this effect, “You might as well live your own life; because, if you live by someone else’s rules and beliefs, you might as well be dead.” Live your best life, now…and forever by being true to what real for you!
