“The road to hell is paved with good intentions” – Unknown
Well here we are not yet two weeks into the New Year: how many of your New Year Resolutions are left intact I wonder?
The diet; the smoking; the exercise program; the financial plan; the new job; the new relationship; the holiday in Spain …
Gone the way of all good intentions! Aaahh … there goes another one, so what’s the point!
The point is that New Year’s Resolutions are not supposed to work! Why? Because they are born from frustration, dissatisfaction, fear and pain. They are all about what we Do NOT want to have in our lives. They are about loss. Our conditioning is all about loss, separation and change.
Think about it: for twenty, thirty, forty years or more we have lived lives in which loss, separation and change have been the underlying patterns leaving pain in their wake. We lose favourite toys; beloved pets die; good friends move to new neighbourhoods and schools; grandparents pass on; the fun of childhood fades to the responsibility of adulthood; the fun of pre-school changes to the drudge of ‘big school’, the schlep of school changes to the stress of work …
Relationships, health, jobs, houses, cars and friends change, and change is something that most of us do not welcome with open arms. We may recognize the need for it, but even this recognition is done begrudgingly.
So on each successive Old Year’s Eve, we sit around at parties, in clubs, in restaurants or at home discussing the old year and what we want the New Year to bring. Most of us are in touch with our ‘Inner Earthworm”, being motivated away from pain towards pleasure, but the pain of our experiences far outweighs the pleasure of possibilities because our pain is mostly what we remember.
Sure the New Year is about promise for the future. It’s filled with possibilities both constructive and destructive but as Tony Robbins says “We are what we think about all day”.
Our pain is important because, through trial and error we learn what we do not want. But the place to start is NOT from our pain.
The place to start is from our very selves: our purpose, our passion, our values, our hopes and dreams. In order for us to live magnificent lives we must BEcome magnificent and live FROM this place in our hearts.
