This year has brought a lot of change in my business and outlook on life. I have had a type of a paradigm shift in my beliefs and what I find to be important. As I have been assimilating new information and beliefs I find a way of reconciling them with my foundational beliefs, such as God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. I have found that it is not necessary to drop the things I found important before in order to add more to the list. Of course, the things I find important haven't changed all that much. They have just been refined.
Often in life we are faced with new realities that make us question all we believe and hold to be true. Why do we feel so threatened by new information. When we are in school and we learn new things we don't stop believing everything up to that point in order to accept that new knowledge. For example, when we learn how to do higher levels of computation we don't stop doing arithmetic do we?
In this new year I would challenge us all to try to look at the same old things with a fresh perspective. Try seeing if there is another, perhaps deeper, view of those things we, in the past, never questioned or considered to see from a different perspective. Perhaps we will all learn something new!
Namaste!
