The New Year is almost here. What are the two most important questions?
Let’s cut to the chase.
As a human being you are both perfectly whole and in need of re-establishing wholeness. Seems paradoxical but it not. The perfect wholeness is what allows you to experience creative insights. The need of re-establishing wholeness motivates you to do something about those insights to make a difference in the world.
Considering the highest expression of creativity, the ability to heal by re-connecting us to the ever present wholeness, the most important questions are the
- What have you healed this year?
- What still needs healing?
Forget how much money you did or didn’t make. Forget whether or not you had lunch with that very important person. As a creator you’ve been blessed with conscious self-awareness, an awareness of being aware that allows you to step outside the world, to plan, to imagine, to carry things out.
But too much of a good thing, too much thinking, too much planning, too much scheming, and not enough heartfelt living can make you feel cut off. If this linger overtime, you stop feeling alive and move slowly or precipitously towards death.
Prosperity and wellbeing are not destinations; they are states of being, states of being where creativity is a central tenant as well as natural expression of being alive.
The highest expression of a life well lived, of a life lived creatively, is healing, healing that begins with yourself and, by example of your commitment to your own healing, extends outwards into the world.
So again, as we enter into 2016, as these two question.
- What have you healed this year?
- What still needs healing?
In the comments section below, please share with us what have you healed this year and what still needs healing. I’ll start…
