Note to collective consciousness:
I hope your new year comes with good fortune. I hope you have passionate moments. I hope you become so immersed in what you’re doing you don’t feel time passing. I hope you laugh everyday. I hope the days you cry are not days you give up hope. I hope you decide the intentions of life are ultimately good. I hope you love as hard as you can with no fear of what will remain after. Even if nothing remains, the real joy came from building it anyway. So don’t be afraid to rebuild it. You will know more the second, third, hundredth time around.
Decide this year you want to change something big and don’t be afraid of changing your mind. Open up to new people… close to some of the old ones. Love yourself. Be gentle with yourself. Be tender with yourself. And sometimes just be. Be alone. Be with people. Be excited. Be sad. Be angry. Be strong.
Always return to the craft in which you have decided to contribute your efforts to the world. Be most thankful for the opportunities you have to contribute to your community and mankind. Allow yourself to feel needed. Because you are. Allow yourself to feel free. Because you are.
Don’t be angry at yourself for poor decisions in the past. They were made out of your own innocence and to dwell on it will manifest a reoccurrence of the mistake. Accept you are wrong sometimes (most times) and place your pride where needed to allow yourself to change. You are not defined by your mistakes… But you are also not defined by your successes. Let your success go just as easily as you let your mistakes go. These things are not good sources of happiness. Anything not existing in the current moment is a poor source of joy or pain. To make these things a source of joy is to derive your later feelings of desire and lack of contentment. To make them sources of pain is to distract yourself from acts of improvement.
Travel far from home. That is how you will learn the kind of person YOU would like to be. But always come back home. That is how you will keep track of who you are. Follow your heart. Get mad you did. Follow your logic. Get mad you did. Then find some weird way to combine the two.
Remember some people pretend they know where they are going better than other people. But the world is that of randomness…. none of us actually know. Something can happen at any minute that changes every plan we made. So when you see them pretending, pretend too! Knowing how to adapt well is the best you can really do. Detachment is the best you can really do. From all things and people.
Remember, within you, is a place. And you can retreat there at any moment. Make that place beautiful. Always strive to have everything you need within yourself.
Always always always remember to give. Always always always remember to forgive.
Happy New Year.
Justina
