"If it's not love, it's not good enough for you."—Steffany Barton
The above headline is my New Year's resolution—not that I put much stock in any intention having to do with willpower.
It's also a paraphrase of the John O'Donohue quote with which I launched my book, The Course in Miracles Experiment.
I refuse to waste my life on fear because it's a made-up story that the cultural paradigm uses to hide our true nature. Which is peace, love, joy and light.
Scarcity and limitation are way beneath us, people. And anything that doesn't acknowledge that is simply put: not true.
Most Unity churches—including the one I go to—offer a burning bowl ceremony at the end of each year. That means writing down everything from the past 52 weeks we want to release. Ya know, things like restrictions, limitations, old patterns. We write these on flash paper and then poof! we burn them. Like that, they're history.
Above all else, the Burning Bowl ceremony means giving up the past. Releasing every single thing we believe is true about the world, what we believe we're capable of becoming. Because when we don't impose our niggling beliefs on life, everything, including ourselves, become brand new. Every single day shines with infinite possibility.
Fear does one thing. It blocks the dynamic life force that pulses within us. But know this: fear and insignificance are nothing but false constructs made up by forces seeking to control us. Forces that benefit from keeping us small and worried and blind to our true nature.
As always, my highest intention for this next year is peace, peace, peace. And to know that what happened in the past is forever irrelevant.
So here's my wish for all of you open-hearted, brilliant, beautiful readers. May fear begone and may only happiness, peace and joy come your way in this exciting new exciting year.
