New Year's

The new year is a time of renewal and new beginnings. Many of you are embarking on new goals and resolutions or just trying to bring a new outlook to life. Every day is the opportunity for a beautiful new beginning and today is a great day to start. Need some inspiration? Here are 30 of my favorite quotes to get you started:

1. “There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth… not going all the way, and not starting.” ~Buddha

2. “Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.” ~ Carl Bard

3. “The beginning is the most important part of the work.” ~ Plato [Read more…] about 30 Quotes Celebrating New Beginnings

“How do we keep our inner fire alive? Two things, at minimum, are needed: an ability to appreciate the positives in our life – and a commitment to action.” ~ Nathaniel Branden

As 2012 gets underway and you’re making your New Year’s resolutions, or possibly thinking about the things you’d like to leave behind in 2011 with a Burning Bowl Ceremony, you might also make time to celebrate your victories from 2011. Whether 2011 was a good or bad year for you, everyone has accomplishments they are proud of, no matter how big or small.

In this week of the New Year, take time to reflect on 2011 and make a list of at least 25 things of which you are proud. Look back at your calendar for any significant events, accomplishments, family vacations, or thoughtful gestures you made just to name a few. Once you get started, you might even surprise yourself. This exercise was so moving for me that I’ve decided to do this exercise on a monthly basis. What are some of your proud moments from 2011? From last month? This week? Share your thoughts below.
