Forward Into 2007

Does it already seem scary and uncertain to you? It certainly does to some of us. We have wars going on in multiple places, civil unrest it seems everywhere, corruption at every turn and within your own community you're faced with a daily barrage of bad news about drugs, deaths and crimes. It can be hard to stay positive and focused on being a good person in the middle of all of that.

As simplistic and even hokey as it might sound, all you need to do is believe. You need to believe you will never be given more than you can truly handle. And notice I said "truly". You have reservoirs of strength deep within you that you have no idea exist. When you need to pull them forth, you'll not only shock everyone around you, but also yourself!

Another thing to do for 2007 is be good to yourself. That means treat your body like the temple it is. Stop abusing it with drinking, drugs, neglect, and food. Get healthy and you'll see some surprising changes in many aspects of your life as a result. Remember, if you don't take care of yourself, you cannot care for anyone else. Make your own personal well being a priority for once.

We're barely into 2007 and you may be feeling uneasy. Do be aware of the global changes that are happening, things are shifting with reason and you should be aware. However, do not let it upset you or keep you from achieving goals you have set for yourself and most of all, if you do nothing else in 2007, learn to love yourself.
