When the universe tells you something

listen.

I wasn’t planning on sharing any new years ‘wisdom’.

Seriously.

But.. Searching,

surfing really,

around an unrelated topic

this article/site showed up.

https://www.brainpickings.org/2019/10/23/13-learnings-13-years/

I didn’t know the site or author (Maria Popova)

But as I read I realized I needed to hear and reflect upon every point she shared

Both to wrap up the year & decade

&

as an aspiration for the new one.

I share Maria’s article along with a wish for happiness, health, love & prosperity for you and yours in the coming new year (and decade)

- Allow yourself the uncomfortable luxury of changing your mind.

- Do nothing for prestige or status or money or approval alone.

- Be generous.

- Build pockets of stillness into your life

- When people tell you who they are, believe them. When people try to tell you who you are, don’t believe them.

- Presence is far more intricate and rewarding an art than productivity.

- Expect anything worthwhile to take a long time.

- Seek out what magnifies your spirit.

- Don’t be afraid to be an idealist.

- Don’t just resist cynicism — fight it actively.

- Question your maps and models of the universe and continually test them against the raw input of reality.

- Forgive, forgive, forgive. And then forgive again.
