Today is New Years Eve.  All across the globe, most people celebrate it in many different ways.  In the US of course on New Years Eve we party until either the 12am “ball drops” or we pass out.  And of course, there is always the “resolution.”  The New Years Resolution to… lose weight, pay bills, buy a new car,  be on time, be nice to someone, stop drinking or smoking, move, find a partner, buy something, have a baby, or… just to be happy.


Let us remember that happiness is not a coincidence! In principle, anybody can learn it. It is scientifically proven that it occurs based on an inner balance of body and mind. It is the result of a maturing process that depends on each person individually.


This includes to get rid of the power of negative emotions like hatred, envy, desire and self-centeredness. Let yourself be guided instead by compassion, humility and kindness, in order to live in harmony with yourself and the world.

SO, if you are going to give this NYER (New Years Eve Resolution) a try, I suggest that you do something you LOVE to do, and that you do well, and you do every day.  You will find you will have a greater chance of making it happen AND no matter what, you will still be happy that you are doing something you love!

 I know extend a happy new years wish, hope and prayer for our world.  That we ALL know peace.  That we ALL know respect.  That we ALL embrace diversity.  That we ALL know that each human is beautiful, loved and worthy just as they were created, without exception.

We can be the change we seek in this world, and in ourselves.  One day.  One journey.  One person.  One new year at a time.
