No one is perfect.

None knows that better than those who claim to be on “the path.” The road to self-improvement is not a straight line steadily increasing in strength. That would be too perfect.

A few may experience that kind of growth, but most of us will have periods of regression in between advancements. Most of us will never be the Dalai Lama. Far from it. And, that’s OK.

We learn. We do better. We forget. We fall. We remember. We rise.

This is what personal growth is about – the willingness to meet the challenges even if we initially run from them. It’s not about always being correct, but it is about course correction when we veer off.

Don’t beat yourself up about the mis-steps. Just reset your compass and keep stepping. It doesn’t have to be a straight journey to be one of worth.

My definition of resistance is an invitation to a party for which you don’t feel properly dressed. 

It’s quite the paradox. Resistance has two faces. You’re often resisting your current state of being while simultaneously resisting an elevated state. But why?

Several possibilities exist.

1) The most obvious is a fear of not being enough to meet the challenges of unfamiliar territory.

2) Another reason may be that the time you spend resisting, is really just an opportunity to concentrate your energies. Envision taking a running start before you leap across a chasm.

3) Or, perhaps, you haven’t extracted all the wisdom you need out of your current situation – a situation you can’t seem to escape.

Whenever you find yourself in a space of resistance, evaluate these three possibilities and see what resonates. Understanding the source of your resistance may help you work through it more efficiently.

But one thing is for sure. Resistance is natural and as I said in my definition, it is an invitation – an invitation to rise. Trust that you have everything you need to do so.

Resolutions simply don’t work for the majority of people. Perhaps because, they’re usually made on a superficial level. That’s not to say that the resolutions, themselves, are superficial.

It only means that the heart of  most resolutions isn’t often explored. It isn’t the thing you’re after, but what that thing will bring to you and how it will make you feel about yourself.

Alternatively, I have chosen a theme for the year. It will be the umbrella under which all decisions will be made. My theme for the year is “CHANGE.” I will learn to welcome it. I will consciously create it. I will love it.

My primary intention? To invite more possibility into my life and explore the fullness of my being.

As I’ve tried to repeatedly reinforce through my communications, you are infinitely capable. What would it take for you to move into the fullness of who you are…who you can be?

Choose a theme to help you move in that direction. Remember, the Universe would not torment you with a desire it had no intentions of making possible for you. Believe. Act. Allow.

2014 is yours. Happy New Year.
