"U" in YOu

Can you believe its December 31, 2006…. The last day of 2006….This time around the year, I always get so excited.. Its because this is the time to reflect on the past year, and to review my goals for the New Year. A brand new start… if things have not gone o.k. for some of us… then there is hope we will be able to make things right – at least there is hope…HOPE is a great thing!

I hope this year you will make some “ME TIME” for yourselves. JUST FOR YOU… to honour that great person… the “U” in you – perhaps, this coming new year we can try to put the “U” in you first… hard… Traditionally, it's always the last… right? – but let’s give it a try!

I believe through my own experiences the most supportive, loving, encouraging person lives within us. That is our own inner self – that is the “U” in YOU! Some may call it the “true self”, “higher power”, “godly self” or the “authentic self”… I hope you have made connection with your inner-self. We all have that within us… that is not just unique to me. It’s within you too. But it’s your responsibility to find it. I also believe its our primary purpose in life to find it and honour it with the best of our ability. If you have not done it already, just give it a try.

How do you find it… by being quiet and listening to your self… it will become closer to you by doing things that you love to do.. simple things.. by truly relaxing your mind and body… you may need lots of patience… lots of it… and practice… Lets try to put aside some time to work on own dreams and goals – they can be big or small – Its good to connect with our inner-selves, listen to our inner-voices and try to honour our true selves.

When you find your true self you will not feel lonely… even if you are alone you will not feel lonely.. That is the true benefit. Even if the whole world is against you, your true self will be there for you – by your side – loving you, supporting you and encouraging you towards achieving your own goals in life.

We tend to constantly seek external support to achieve our goals – and sometimes, these external support can fail us for what ever reasons…I am sure you have experienced this too… sometimes, they cant be reliable or dependable… I am not saying we dont need external support - we certainly do...But we also need to seek internal support from our own inner-selves…Remember, we are built with a internal support system… The Good Lord has given this to us already.. but finding the “switch” is our Job. All we have to do is find that “switch” and put it “on” so there will be “light” in your life. Why live in darkness? Don’t you think we owe this to ourselves?

Nobody else can be more passionate than our own selves about our own goals… Nobody else has the drive and the determination of pursuing our own goals than our own selves… Lets try to find our inner-selves, it’s within us… its there… in us.. You and me and all… finding it is our task… when we do, its worth it… then will no longer depend on outside support for achieving your goals…If outside support is there its good. If not, it’s good too. You will not feel crippled without it because you now have the ‘U” in you…. You will feel stronger and confident, courageous and supportive, determined and perseverant – because now you are not alone… You have “U” and you have light. You will turn inside because you have a best friend within you that will never leave you.


Are you in touch with the “U” in you?
