If you want to remain at peace, you must learn to do this. Do it and you’ll be the “ruler” of your life. It’s the one thing that’s the key to your bliss, to your peace. What is it? Well, we need to address something else first.

Another year is almost at an end. This is usually the time when most folks start assessing what they haven’t yet accomplished thus far in life. It’s not usually a happy task nor is it something intentional. It just sort of pops up as the year comes to a close. It’s the time when the ghosts of New Year’s resolutions past come back to haunt and taunt. We’ve all experienced it in one way or another. It’s typical.

As you know, I’m not a big fan of the norm, so here’s what I propose instead…

MEASURE HOW FAR YOU’VE COME.

Measurements are real. They are scientific. They are actual. Taking measurements, therefore, is proving to yourself what is TRUE for you. It’s a way of providing proof to our brains that we’re really not slackers. It’s a way of affirming to ourselves that we haven’t messed up or missed out. It’s evidence that it’s not too late and that we mustn’t give up.

This is a waaaaaaaay more enjoyable task. Wouldn’t you agree? With this practice (PS everything in life worth cultivating is a practice!) you choose to notice your accomplishments, your success stories, your happy memories, your worthwhile efforts. You revel in the gratitude of all you’ve learned. You delight in all you’ve figured out. You take pride in all you’ve mastered.

Plus, you get to look forward to even more awesome experiences on the way.

A great way to keep the momentum going is to practice today’s Baby Step.

BABY STEP

As with any successful practice, one must REPEAT, REPEAT, REPEAT:

I choose to accept the world as it is.

I choose to accept my current circumstances as they are.

I choose to accept all Beings where they are.

I choose to accept myself as I am.

And, by choosing acceptance, I cultivate eternal peace.

Thank you, God (Bringing in Divine help is always a good idea. So, please feel free to insert whatever Higher Power you wish – God, Jesus, Mother Earth, The Universe, your dear Aunt Tillie.)
