What do you admire most in people?
Love is the basis for our universe, the frequency where everything grows and flourishes. Love is the state we grow into when we work on our growth and our healing. Love is the basis for kindness and empathy. Love isn’t an unlivable concept but a basis from which to grow and to model ourselves.
Do you see this as something practical to live by, and if not, why? Is this how you currently live your life or is it on your wish list when everything aligns that you would want to live this way? What are your thoughts and practices?

I chose not to set goals or resolutions a few years ago, what I do instead.
If you feel you need to set resolutions for yourself, choose only one thing, not a list. If you have a list, choose the thing that’s most fun or weird! Why should life be more difficult? Why not make it fun? Instead of trying to become a gym rat if you’re not, why not take a belly-dancing class?
If you feel you need to set goals, ask yourself this question and fill in te blank: “I have always wanted to do ____________.” Then go ahead and do it! Even if you start with the smallest task needed to accomplish your goal, you’ve started.
