Intensity

A driving, relentless force - human intensity. Leading a fearless march into any fray . . . creating many upheavals, stealing peace.

With the 'chattering mind' always in the forefront, lists and plans drawn up, illusions abound. Absent that largely imagined strong grip on controlling circumstances (and sometimes other people) situations may go haywire, not conform to the plan, what could happen?

Relax. Something WILL happen. Go with it, extend love and acceptance, see what occurs. The world will not end. Cooperate with the universal force, reality does not disintegrate . . . in fact, there is always, sans high intensity, a possibility of improvement.

Rip it Up

The old, that is . . . these lyrics from an old rock tune have it right. Divest, get rid of outmoded ideas, draft a new plan, go for it!

As in plowing, breaking ground for a garden, turning the soil to provide air and light -- provide a healthy environment in which to grow - a better self. Invest in the future! Create a new outlook.

Do something different, even zany, each day. Challenge habitual routine, inject fun and excitement, thoughtfully observe sameness, modify and morph.

Rewards and success inevitably follow . . . so go ahead, paint a HAPPY NEW YEAR with vivid, splendid colors . . . then dive in with delicious abandon!
