When The Magic Begins!
“Be the change you want to see in the world” Mahatma Gandhi
What this quote means to me…
At one time it meant I needed to bring peace, happiness, and love to others. It now means that I need to bring peace, happiness, and love into my own life and live as an example of how others can obtain it for themselves. If this is what I want to see in the world I must create this within me, first!
As we step into 2024 this quote will be something that I will lead with. I will allow it to help me make decisions and create the experiences that I choose to participate in over the next year. How can I expect to live in a world of peace, happiness, and love if I do not have peace, happiness, and love within me? My goal will be to be the embodiment of this as much as possible over the next year and beyond. I am going to find peace with myself just as I am, I am going to choose happiness each day, and I am going to love myself on the inside and the outside. I will make decisions that will help to support me in doing this as I move forward throughout the year! I know that this has been a work in progress for me right along but this year my goal is to put even more action behind my intentions!
We sometimes forget that when we actively begin to take care of ourselves that we are leading by example, and that is powerful stuff. When we lead by example versus do what I say not as I do we create a ripple effect that is sent out into the universe and impacts those around us. Our actions create movement with the vibrational frequencies within and around us and these ripples are much bigger and more impactful because it was done as an action and not just with our words. We can be the most insightful people in the world and speak volumes but what we need to lean into even more is the actions we take along with those insights.
This year my word is “Action” because I want to create even bigger ripples in this world not just for myself but for others. It all starts with me, just as it all starts with you. If you are looking to make a difference for yourself or others this year, your intentions along with putting action behind them are going to create the difference you are looking for. This is when the magic begins!
Two things to think about this month are:
What does Mahatma Gandhi’s quote “Be the change you want to see in the world” mean to you?
What is your word for this year?
Feel free to use these questions to journal with and dive a bit deeper into what they mean for you!
