New Year's Resolution? The Only Time is Now.

It is a new year. Many people may be waking up today feeling like something has changed. Certainly, waking up with a splitting hang over can make anyone feel like they woke up in a new world. But what has really changed in a day's time?

Time is a human construct. We create the illusion of time with our brains; our ability to recall the past and predict the future takes us out of the present. By doing this, we create an alternate reality with our egos, full of attachment and desires, and that is where all suffering comes from.

When we look back towards the past, we find depression. When we look forward to the future, we find anxiety. When we are not looking for anything, we find happiness.

But then what is happiness? True nirvana is said to be like a flame. What is inside a fire? There are no objects within, as fire is the release and flow of energy. What else are we but energy in motion? We are the cosmos dancing out eternity.

A dance is not a solid thing. Sure, we can look at any slice of a dance across what we call time, but that statue framed in a single moment is not anything anyone can call a dance. A dance is the motion we are in.

When we remove ourselves from the moment, we cannot dance our best. We take up our brain and body’s processing power which limits our ability to act to the fullest extent our our potential. When we are in the now, we can put our full focus into everything we are doing. Wholly immersed in our immediate, real world we open all potential doors and unlock our full potential moving forward.

I often tote that love is a verb. What we do is far more important than what we think or say. With that in mind, what have you thought about this new year moving forward, or the one we just left? Have you told anyone your New Years resolution?

These things are completely irrelevant to your ability to manifest the reality you truly desire in your heart. All that matters is the dance you are dancing right now. Make it the best dance you can evoke from within you, and take on this new year one moment at a time.

Every moment we die, and every moment we are reborn. Now is the only time to achieve your dreams.
