Do we see any more clearly? It’s fitting to ask the question. The universe reminds us, one more time, that nothing is by accident.

The other reminder, easily forgotten; that there are elements of life that will never change no matter what the circumstances are, whether outside of our control or fully within it.

Joy will never be silenced nor will sadness ever disappear. Always will there be the heart-full-ness of Love found and the heartbreak of Love lost. Peace will forever live amidst the never-ending chaos. Waiting for its invitation out. To come in.

We seem to aim to put the tough times behind us. To forget. To move forward. With hope for a brighter horizon? Or, to simply allow the sun to set, letting the darkness take it all away?

The new year is definitely a new beginning. Or, maybe really only an opportunity to hang up a new calendar in the kitchen; puppies, muscle cars, puppies driving muscle cars – whatever makes you smile when you jot down your next dentist appointment or school pajama day.

Truer, though, is that every day is a new beginning. Every moment is. Every thought is….is opportunity for….? It’s yours to answer. It will never end, the opportunities, the chances, the possibilities.

What we don’t know is infinite. Quantum physics knows that everything, including us, is 99.99999% energy and 0.00001% matter. Yet, why do we seem to relentlessly focus on the 0.00001% matter as what “matters”? 99.99999% unknown possibility. 99.99999% opportunity. 99.99999% space for….? It’s yours to answer. To think that our comfort and security comes from 0.00001% of what we know, is a limiting thought, to say the least.

99.99999% of anything and everything to create whatever you can think of; whatever you can imagine. It must be true. Otherwise, why else would it be so vast and expansive; to provide such an open canvas? Understandably, one might suggest that simply “thinking” or “imagining” something into becoming reality seems a bit too easy to work that way. And, that person would be exactly right. It isn’t that easy. It doesn’t work that way. It’s not just a matter of thought or imagination – that would be too easy. This, likely, will be the most difficult endeavour you could ever choose to take on.

To create anything takes a great deal of energy – again, is it an accident that’s 99.99999% of what you are? When a house or a skyscraper or a bridge is built, the preparation and planning and forethought is the majority of the task. A larger part still is adapting positively when things don’t go according to the preparation and planning and forethought. Adapting, fully, with the intention that what’s to be built, will still get built. The actual construction; well, as the architect, that’s not really up to you.

Thinking your way into creating something, isn’t easy. Not in the least. It takes the blueprint, the right conditions, the appropriate environment, focus, dedication, hard work, perseverance. What is it all really? You need to see the future, and believe in it. You need to learn from the past and find forgiveness. You need to take care of yourself. You need growth. You need failure. You need success. You need to know how much you don’t know. You need to get out of the way of the universe. You need to get out of the way of you. And, you need to Love. None of this works without knowing Love.

So, no. It’s not easy. But, every day, every moment, every thought – is a new beginning to believe and to create what you were meant to.

Find the peace, happiness and Love that’s hiding in plain sight.

Be Love.
