The Countdown Everyone is Anticipating For, 2023!

Welcome to the last month of the year, what are you counting down for?

Let’s say it together 4,3,2,1…Go!

This year has been one for the books. It has been one that causes you to reflect on yourself, whether you want to or not. But it isn’t a bad thing, in all honesty, it can be a pleasure if you allow it. Some are allowing it, others are just floating with the world’s motions. That is okay for them, truly it is. But it isn’t for the ones that want more. More in everything in their lives, everything that’s important, everything that will bring them to the next level; a level that will last in longevity.

It’s a time to have your heart and mind open. Open to everything that is fitting for your life, even if it may seem out of the norm for you. That’s why it is a time to be open-minded, when it comes to your heart you have to be careful in this time. You can’t allow it to get the best of you, because if you do you may fall back into the traps of what was before and that should never be in the plans of what you want for yourself. 

Life is about freedom. Freedom can seem like labor for those that are bottled with responsibilities. Allowing you to be restricted to what is just in front of you. Although your heart and mind are meant to be open you have no control over the circumstances you feel you have. That can make it confusing, but don’t allow yourself to be confused.  If so, you’re allowing your emotions to get the best of you, and not allowing your heart to be in the lead of what is important. Your wants are not as important as your needs. That is a hard thing to have to admit to yourself but it’s the honest truth.

When you’re able to admit that to yourself you can grow. You are admitting to yourself that you can be a better you. You are important. You can love yourself when you’re able to know the importance without approval. The important factor of all of these things is what your heart desires, second your mind so that you may have peace and follow your being.

When that is understood everything can follow, it will feel right because you have taken the time to love your heart and mind. You know that you have begun to learn that your heart is precious, once again that is fine, it is simply okay. This is how the finest of things begin to draw to you, it’ll be pure, sweet without any harm, not in just material things, but in all aspects. You’ll see what beauty really is. Beauty comes in so many forms it can’t be contained, that is what makes it beautiful. Simple.

Let’s start this countdown. Birth is the first countdown for anyone, and the last countdown is one’s death. Whether one’s background, religion, creed, color, size, etc., everyone isn’t given a chance to understand the value of a countdown. Is it sad? Some would say yes, but is it really? To be honest, it isn’t. What one doesn’t understand gives hope and wonder a chance to be born within another.

The world has overcome a great virus in the past years, causing many to lose themselves but for others, there has been a rebirth of a sense of hope that once was a sense of standstill. What once shut down the world completely, could not shut down the hearts of the people that are living. Living in their essence, really understanding the ability of a higher power that isn’t them but allows oneself to be thankful and have gratitude. Gratitude allows grace to flow within that it will be able to be seen outwardly. Allowing you to not look like what you’re going through, is a blessing. This is how the real feeling of gratitude is understood and appreciated. Who do you love? It should be yourself, that’s how you are able to love others genuinely. While being in this holiday season be reminded of what continues to give you hope, joy, love, and peace. Enter the new year with hope for you and everyone connected to you, the countdown will be worth it at the end.
