Be the change you want to see in this world

Happy New Year 2015!! I wish that you may have a year full of blessings, happiness, love and light! I love new years, because they are times of reflection. It is a time when we decide what we can change within us to become better and to become the best versions of ourselves. While many new year resolutions are aimed towards losing weight, saving more money, buying a new car, etc., and while all resolutions have a place in our holistic self that will make all parts of our life better and thus make us better. It all starts with US. We decide to BE. To be what? You may ask. I simply say: “Be the best you”. Such as the wise Gandhi once said “Be the change you seek to see in this world.” He was not far from the truth and in fact, this is what true change is all about. We need to be the best versions of ourselves. We all know what that means. We know the areas we might need to work on and most importantly, only we know what we must do to cleanse ourselves from the past and start anew with new light and new force, so we can shine once more and leave our mark in this world (or why not? In this universe).

So this new year, let it be about YOU. Do not worry what others need to do or change. That is not up to us. But what we can do and focus is on our own life, our own little universe. This we can control, and hopefully one good choice, will lead to another, and another and like a domino effect cause an expansion of light and love all around us that will not only touch your family, friends, community, but the entire world and push towards the collective force that will pave the way to change our entire universe. And it starts with you. Do it my friend. Take the first step and BE THE CHANGE!

Love and light,

Mariela
