You Are Not Alone

I give a lot of thought to the first article of the year.

Not everybody enjoys the festive season.

It has been described as a magnifying glass, amplifying our feelings.

Some find the experience euphoric.

For others it brings melancholy.

But the new year offers an opportunity for change.

And I want to encourage you to embrace it.

None of us are on our own.

No matter what your beliefs, know that there is something greater than you at work.

Given the complexity of life and the universe, how arrogant would humanity have to be to deny there is a greater power than us?

Call it what you want.

God, Gaia, the universal life force of Chi, Ki or Prana, or just the nature of the cosmos.

Whether you are a scientist or a spiritualist, or both! (And there is room for both.)

What is important is that you acknowledge you are an integral part of that whole.

Which means you matter.

And what you do matters.

No one else has the ability to contribute like you do.

Whether you believe this is the only life you have or not is irrelevant.

You are here now.

And you are not alone...ever.

Hold that thought.

I have a simple exercise for you for January.

Every morning, start the day with this thought.

‘You are enough.

Accept yourself.

Know you matter.

And allow yourself to contribute as only you can.’

Focus on the light, always,
