2011 is over and the new year has begun, I feel the need to look back over the pitfalls, accomplishments, and roller coaster ride of this past year. While we all look back it is important to take a close look at those good times and bad. Like a compost in a garden, placing the events in our lives in to a perspective that allows us to create a melange of educational experiences that we can learn from.
It is these experiences and the lessons they teach that allow us to create a fertile existance within this garden in which we all live. What we give out in the form of love, gratitude, anger, frustration, friendship (etc) becomes the nutrients that help us grow in all aspects of health, wellness, and spirituality. If we tend more toward the negative in life, then we shouldn't expect for an abundance of positivity. Likewise if we tend toward the positive we shouldn't expect for an abundance of negativiy. While this brand of you get what you give is nothing new, it should be reviewed and evaluated within our lives.
Think back to all the positive things that occured over the course of 2011. Did you ask for them? Were you grateful for their occurances? If you asked for them, but did not show any gratitude, did you experience any negative consequenes? What about the negative things that occured over the course of 2011? Where you in a negative state of mind, where you pointing fingers, passing responsibility for your mistakes or misguide actions? If upon review you find this to be true, ask yourself why?
For the start of 2012, take stock of your composted life events, have you set yourself up for healthy growth going forward? If not, don't fret, even bad compost can grow beautiful flowers with the right amount of love and care. So start the new year with a new outlook on life, set aside the negative attidudes and embrace the positive light and love that exists all around you.
Remember anything worth doing is worth fighting for and anything that helps to create a better you is worth doing.
