New year resolutions - 2021

New year, new resolutions:

• losing weight,

• getting fitter,

• nurturing my dear friends and family,

• achieving projects that have never been achieved so far for lacking energy and momentum,

• writing more often and consistently,

• painting more,

• ...

So many grand ideas and so much hope. How can one achieve all goals set for the new year, and not lose that drive during the year because of all the external circumstances?

• View circumstances in a positive light. Difficult and tiring, and sometimes, one can only see the blessing in hindsight.

• Ignore the circumstances, live in a cocoon or bubble that encourages only to achieve the dreams and goals. Unrealistic. Or not?

Perhaps one way would be to live with a minimalistic set of mind. Do not fill our minds with useless information, do not lose our time on social networks, only use our limited time to learn something from others. Do not fill our minds with negative news that are bombarding our TV screens, our inbox, or computer screens.

Live a marginal life to focus and achieve our goals. Be selective on what comes in. Only accept what supports the achievement of our dreams and goals. But keeping in mind that one must not be an egoist and selfish. Be kind and loving to family and friends. Listen to these creative spurs that come from your inner self, intuition. Take action on those generous and spontaneous impulses. They are a guide. Even if one cannot see it first-hand. Never take a second thought about them. Just act upon them without questioning or involving rational thinking. Sometimes, it takes a split second to act upon that intuition, that idea before it disappears. If not acted upon it. it is lost and the opportune magic moment is gone. That magic moment can never be recreated with rational thought. Have you ever acted upon intuition there and then without thinking about it and got magical results? Results that you would never have achieved without that step of faith? A split second can transform a life that one could never have imagined, let alone achieved supernatural results with rational thinking and planning.

That is my new year's resolution. Let the opportune creative intuition be free and act upon it without questioning. Take the chances whilst they are there. One can only achieve the impossible with trust, intuition, creativity. It all starts with this.

What are your new year's resolutions?

And remember, be kind to yourself, be kind to others.
