Intentions
I’m done making New Year’s resolutions. I’m even done creating goals that I am insisting on accomplishing this year. Then judging my year based on whether or not I achieved them.
Instead I will set an intention. Intentions are powerful. They bring a special quality of focus to your mind.
My intention for this year is to go with the flow and be surprised and delighted with where life takes me.
I’m no longer insisting I have to “make everything happen.” I’m learning to trust more and more that all those goals and dreams in my heart are in fact my destiny. So I don’t need to push and force anything to bring it to life. I can just sit in absolute knowing that everything I want and need will come to me in due time.
With that I will leave you with my favorite quote from Rumi, the Sufi poet:
When I run after what I thin I want, my days are a furnace of stress and anxiety; if I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, and without pain. From this I understand that what I want also wants me, is looking for me and attracting me. There is a real secret here for anyone who can grasp it.
What is your intention for 2024? I’d love to hear!
Happy New Year!!!
