Did you make a resolution? I made a no-resolution resolution long ago. And, at the same instant, resolved that I would be single-minded anytime I truly desired a specific change — regardless of the season or date. If you made a resolution, add a promise to yourself that, if this thing is truly important, you will spend some time thinking about it — imagining it. This technique, of course, works year-round; but if you made a resolution, you need it now.

Here are some common resolutions people make and break each year (these are in no particular order):

In 1799, Napoleon’s troops discovered an artifact with the same passage of text inscribed in three different languages. Because one of the languages was known (Greek), the other languages were easily translated — including the language of Egyptian hieroglyphics. This stone, called the “Rosetta Stone” because it was found near the seaside town of Rosetta, represented a two-thousand year old bridge between languages — the same thing said in different ways — that allowed the subsequent translation of a wealth of Ancient Egyptian writings (wisdom, technology, history, etc…).

It is believed that the Babylonians were the first to make New Year’s resolutions. Many early religious traditions, including Christianity, used this time of year to reflect on past mistakes and set better intentions for the coming year. But no matter what time of year it is, you are still right there between your past and future — continuously learning from the past and creating the future. The middle of winter — the depth of the “death” season — provides the perfect setting and opportunity to reflect on what has been, and contemplate what is yet to come.

Sue is wondering if true beauty is an energy force in and of itself?

In this moment I would answer, yes. In that I feel all is vibration, and, life is all about vibration.

Would add that beauty is truly in the eyes of the beholder, which also relates to Pete Koerner’s posts mentioning ‘What The Bleep’, and I would like to add a favourite quote:

”We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.”

Talking of true beauty … the picture you gifted me today! You know I love rainbows … you didn’t know how MUCH I love unicorn pictures! And to share with Visitors the truly beautiful energy that you are, these are the lovely words included with the picture:

Hello, and “Happy Sparkle Thoughts” are being sent upon the “wings of change”. A sincere thank you from my heart and soul to yours- the wonderful, caring, inspirational energy force that is CYRES.

The unicorn is flying over the rainbow, where blue birds fly.

One of the most well-known facts about New Year’s resolutions is that people simply don’t stick with them and, as a result, they don’t get that which they resolved to get. What’s the point in making a resolution you know won’t last? The point of all resolutions — like the point of all prayers — is to “formalize” desires in order to increase our chances of experiencing them in our reality.

So, do you want to know how to make yourself really fat and miserable — and stay that way? It’s actually pretty simple; so simple, in fact, most women (and some men) already use this technique unconsciously. Here’s how it works:

Lately, there has been a lot of discussion about the mind-body connection. Of course, this discussion has been going on for thousands of years; and the new consensus matches the old — there really is no “connection” — the mind and body are the same. The body is simply the visible repository for those things we hold in our mind; the body is the physical representation, or reflection of, the mind.
