What a difference a day makes!

Today is the last day of 2008. Tomorrow is the first day of a new year. For many of us, it will be the first day of a new life, with new resolve to transform ourselves into the ideal beings we want to be – slimmer, fitter, richer, more loving, happier, anything-er! Er ….. what’s the difference between today and tomorrow? Why wasn’t there that difference between yesterday and today?

In fact, there really is no difference. It’s just another 24 hours, or looked at another way, a mere second between 11:59:59 p.m. on December 31 2008 and 12:00:00 a.m. on January 1, 2009. Yet, tomorrow will dawn with the energy of multitudes of humanity resolving to live their best lives, to put the past behind them, to be something more, much more than what they were yesterday. I love that energy – it’s the buzz of possibilities. It’s rich, it’s empowering, it’s heady.

The challenge we face is to keep that energy. We can, if we only remember to stay in the energy of the moment. Every moment presents the opportunity to create ourselves completely anew as we desire. Each moment is brimming, overflowing with infinite possibilities – not just the moments of January 1, 2009, but every single moment up to 11:59:59 on December 31, 2009 – and beyond.

In creating ourselves anew, we also create a new world. We must not doubt that the choices that take our personal lives to entirely new levels also create shifts in others. Some shifts we will know about, some we will not. It matters not. All we need to know is that we step up to new levels of our own being, and so our consciousness will radiate outward and touch multitudes. Each and every one of us makes a difference in every moment by the choices we make. A new world starts with a new me.

I wish for you all the happiness and good you desire – and more – in 2009! It will be an amazing year! It already IS an amazing year. Why? Because you, and I, declare it so!
