How can I think about having a great year when the world is mess?
You are the place where goodness starts.
I want you to start taking actions towards your own dreams so we have more people taking action towards our good, collective dream. Yes the world is a complete shit-show and maybe it always was and maybe it’s a privilege to only be seeing it now (or whenever you did before now) and there is a lot to do. The trick is we have to get moving on doing something about it. I’ve written before (here) that your dream for yourself is an important ingredient in prioritizing the good that can be done in the world.
But why the urgency this New Year? If you will not go after what you most dearly want in the world for yourself, you will not take action on climate change, industrial war, or food security. And sometimes it is impossible to act against violence towards others and our planet if the violence against you hasn’t been spoken out loud yet too. I’m so sorry if it hasn’t been. Your believing that things can be different and acting on that starts at home. If you can’t believe it for you, how can you believe it for all of us?
But it’s time to start my love. What if the joy you create by starting after your dreams is the ounce that tips the scales towards good in the face of all the awful that we are facing right now? What if you start after your dreams and decide that you also want to help another go for theirs? What if because of your energized relationship with your self—because you are attempting to get what you want out of this life—you have the bandwidth to advocate for change at the hospice or daycare or town hall that benefits everyone? It’s in all of our best interests for you to start moving towards what you want. However we can get started.
When we Give Ourselves Permission to go after our dreams we are creating a world where all action is possible.
So go start. Now.
