Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right. ~ Oprah Winfrey
New Year Celebration in Rome
Copyright © 2012 by Zabbo
It’s that time of year when many folks make new year resolutions, often to abandon them only days or weeks later.
I no longer make new year resolutions. I prefer to call them intentions. When we create an intention the universe infuses it with powerful energy. That enables us to effortlessly flow toward fulfillment of the intention — as opposed to struggling to stick to a resolution.
This year my spirit guides suggested a list of 10 intentions to easily enrich our lives. Forget the rigid resolutions.
Spirit
First we’d suggest you intend 2015 to be your best year ever. If you feel the power of that intention in your gut, know it in your heart — so it will be.
- The most important intention you can create at the beginning of the new year — or any time at all — is to love yourself unconditionally. No matter what is happening around you.
- Intend to greet every person you meet with love and good wishes. Say to them, silently or aloud, “Namaste.” (Which means “The divine in me acknowledges the divine in you.”)
- Take time every day, even if only for 5 or 10 minutes, to nurture yourself — with meditation, walking in a natural setting, treating yourself to a moment of luxury.
- Intend to take care of yourself, in the best way you can, by nurturing your body, mind, and spirit.
- Do something for yourself or another you’ve been putting off.
- Intend to let your light shine, to get your work out to the world — in whatever form that may be. You came to this lifetime to help others shine their light. The best way to do that is let your own light shine. Each of you have a unique gift and vision to offer the world.
- Intend to begin every day, the moment you awaken, with thoughts that feel good.You will thereby draw more good-feeling thoughts, and more experiences to feel good about, through your day. This is a simple, powerful way to put the Law of Attraction to work for you.
- Know when you are feeling good and consciously choosing more good-feeling thoughts, you are aligning with the Source within you. This is the Source of all that is, God. You will radiate a light and power nothing can diminish or destroy.
- Always be true to yourself, knowing the source of everything you have ever wanted is within you. Every day say to yourself “I am the light of the world. I can move mountains.”
- Always remember, even in your darkest moments, your inner light can dispel the darkness for yourself and those whose lives you touch.
Laugh more. Have more fun. Be happy.
P.S. I’m taking Spirit’s advice to do something I’ve long wanted to do. On January 1 I’m starting a year-long daily study of A Course in Miracles.

I love these intentions. I have the book the Course in Miracles but not yet read! I think I will make a start now and look forward to 2015 with much joy in my heart.
Namaste.

I just posted this item on Facebook. Thank you for sharing, John.
John Cali
Thanks very much, Hans — I really appreciate it.
Happy New Year!

Thanks for another wonderful post, John! The wisdom of Spirit is always so beneficial, if we remember to follow the lead. The video inspired me to pull out my old Enya CD of “Paint the Sky with Stars” — love her voice. Like you, I have also committed to doing the ACIM workbook lessons this year. It’s been several years since I’ve done them and I enjoy the revival idea…
Love and blessings to you and all your readers this New Year!

You’re most welcome, Susan! Spirit is indeed wise. One of my “intentions” for the new year is to listen more carefully to their guidance — it’s always timely and perfect.
I’m looking forward to starting the ACIM lessons tomorrow. It should an exciting year. I hope you enjoy your “revival.”
Love and blessings to you, Susan, and your loved ones for a glorious new year!

Happy New Year, John. Thank you for all your marvellous work with spirit. Hoping the coming year brings wonderful things for you.
