Happy New year!

As we look forward and begin to set our intentions for the new experiences that await us, it is important that we also understand where we have been. There are those that believe looking back is a waste of time and that the future is all that matters. I believe this is an inaccurate view for it is in reflecting upon our past that allows us to see both what we have done well and what needs to be improved upon.

If we do not understand where we have been, we run the risk of repeating our mistakes, even if our intention is to have a different oucome (you have heard the old addage, the definition of insanity is repeating the same behaviors hoping for a different outcome!). Matching our intentions with our behavior is the goal. Resentments build when intentions do not match our behavior. Without reflection, and the knowledge that comes with reflection, we fumble around blindly utilizing systems which are ineffective and inauthentic, having resolution slip through our hands.

Set your intention this year on reflection. The starting point for all change and undestanding. Give your self the best gift of all, the gift of consciousness, the gift of your authentic self.

Wishing you peace on the journey,
