Happy New Year!
I returned from a short visit with my dear friend Anita Pathik Law who lives about 2 1/2 hours away. I met her a few years ago and we have become great friends and fans of each other. Each day I am gratefull for her insights, talents, and skills. She inspires me to be my best and is a generous supporter in my personal and business transformation.
When I arrived home, I found an email with this excerpt enclosed. With little exception, when I am coaching client’s to uncover their core values and beliefs, they recognize how important it is for them to contribute to the world in some way; to make a difference, help others, and leave a legacy they can feel proud of. If you relate to that core value, you might appreciate what Anita wrote:
A New Year’s Reflection and Request…An Excerpt
by Anita Pathik Law
Healers in our own rights, our task is ridiculously simple; to love and serve one another as we would our own children. To view one another as brother, sister, cousin, and to experience ourselves as part of the One unifying source of energy that supplies us with our breath and has infused us with the many gifts it fuels and energizes. To use our power for good. To be a source of inspiration for others. To release all of the reasons and excuses we have chosen to stay in pain, or have hidden out in the past. To follow our heart and acknowledge that sometimes doing the “right thing” is not always the right thing. Rather, doing right is simply being right with ourselves and God, and that the greatest wish for all beings on the planet is to just simply be happy.
And, so, this next year, I ask of you one favor; a favor that will serve all of humanity. Make a commitment this year. Be yourself. If you don’t know what that means, find out.
Follow your heart, honor your resonance and your faith and have a conversation with your fears every time they come into the room. Be kind to one another. Be kind to yourself. Be kind to your parents and your children even when you don’t want to.
Make love like you mean it and stop taking things so damned personally. Grow up and show up, even when it’s hard. Be present. Be present to the people in your life and the every day miracles that are gifted to you as whispers and kisses from the Divine.
Take a long hard look at how you have adopted the beliefs you carry and release the ones that don’t serve a consciousness of healing and peace. Be conscious as you form and pass along new opinions, especially as they relate to the upcoming political elections and internationally impactful issues. Don’t make everything a crisis. Instead, see everything as an opportunity and grab the proverbial bull by both horns and enjoy the ride of your life!
Forgive everyone and everything from your past. Holding onto resentments is only weighing you down and holding you in a past that doesn’t actually exist. Be authentic. Be alive. Breathe. Smile. Laugh. Choose love over everything. And above all, be grateful. Be grateful for your ability to feel, to connect and to experience compassion. Be grateful for the entirety of your life, even those experiences that brought pain, for they are the ones that offered you the greatest opportunity to grow and become a better human being.
Be aware that anger is compassion misdirected and fear is usually a temporary loss of faith. And, last but not least, please, please see yourself as the powerful person you are. You are a healer, a creator and a facilitator of incredible change. We need you. We need you to be strong. We need you to claim your power and to remember and serve your unique purpose in the world.
In the end, this moment is yet a beginning of a new world, one that we will co-create together and I am honored to be on this path with you walking alongside me. It brings me great comfort to know I am not alone in the quest for a united humanity and that as each of us awakens to the healer within, uniting first our own internal divisions, we unite all.
I hope you were inspired by Anita’s passionate words. To learn more about her, visit Power of Our Way and learn about a 6 week journey into your soul…
