“Self observation brings man to the realization of the necessity of self-change. And in observing himself a man notices that self-observation itself brings about certain changes in his inner processes. He begins to understand that self-observation is an instrument of self-change, a means of awakening.” – George Gurdjieff.
2010 is the year of “Awakening” to all we truly are. The year to say YES to our own higher power, living inside of us as love, wisdom and power. Millions will wake up this year as if from a deep sleep, to walk in an awakened state. The horizon is absolutely beautiful – breathtaking really. With
courage we move forward. Expanding, never contacting. The old energy of contracting is not for you any longer.
Expand, stretch, create and take flight, feeling wings of love supporting you. It is time for those walking the path of grace, to emerge, shedding the old skin of the past. Never look back, for there is nothing there for you. Keep your eyes on the magnificence of who and what you are. Your days, weeks and months will embrace you in the arms of excellence, grace and power. It is time for unity.

Everyone wants success, to be distinguished as authentic. I think it is easier for us to give up on starting many things, because we get so excited to start something and then look to the right, there is something to start, look to the left, oh wow, there is a new thing to start. Overwhelm slides around and a great idea is forgotten. The wisest choice is to pick one thing. Stay with it until it is a success – in any way that looks to you. Be determined, use courage to go the extra mile, over and above the average bear. Be the example of what you want to reflect to the world. Charles Kendall Adams talks about success in this quote:
“No one ever attains very eminent success by simply doing what is required of him; it is the amount and excellence of what is over and above the required that determines the greatness of ultimate distinction.”
Charles Kendall Adams
