Since I have been home, the second question people ask me after "how was your trip?"is "What are you going to do next?". At this very moment, I don't have the answer to that question. While part of me struggles with that and wishes that I did, I hold strong in knowing the answer to "what is NOW". What is "now" is that I am home safely after nothing short of an eventful last 5 days in Africa, happy to be clean, still waiting to hear from schools, and pursuing other challenges as I wait. I will head into 2013 with some intentions to live NOW, that will guide me to what is NEXT when the time is right.
here are my 13 Intentions for 2013:
1. Live in a place of Love, but it's ok to have a meaningful conversation with your bullshit when necessary.
2. Stay honest and authentic in your intentions, actions, beliefs, and goals. Come back to your true aim when you stray.
3. Give thanks every day.
4. Pray often. And Listen. Continue this journey walking with God.
5. Live in possibility and in the present. You can create anything if you believe in possibility. Create something Powerful.
6. Be open to the outcomes.
7. Celebrate and love yourself unconditionally. Your going to screw up, and its going to be ok. When judgement and negativity creep in, feel what you need to, re-evaluate, and then let it go.
8. Never stop exploring. Stay curious about yourself, the world, and what you can cultivate together.
9. Embrace challenges, and make them your masterpiece.
10. Blow your own damn mind every once and while! Get uncomfortable, shake shit up, scare yourself, and see what happens.
11. Appreciate both the little and big things. Just because its small, doesn't mean its not important.
12. Keep an open heart, an open mind, and open eyes.
13. Breathe, and be YOU.
As you head into 2013, take what you need from last year- some lessons and humility, and let what you don't need stay. Be fearless and let the journey unfold.
