The Magic of New Beginnings
Life is in many ways is a bit of a rollercoaster. One day you feel like you’ve hit rock bottom, the next you’re flying high on top of the world. It can be scary and definitely unexpected, but at the same time absolutely exhilarating. Also, you definitely don’t come out the same person, especially if you had your eyes open during the ride and are self aware. The year 2023 was a special one for me. It was my healing era, and an era of self discovery and self love.
As the New Year chimed in, I reflected on the previous year. The ups, the downs, the moments I braved difficult times with my family and the few friends I trusted. I reminisced on my big wins as well like reaching my dreams of becoming a PADI Divemaster and a Certified Yoga Teacher. My accomplishments that have made my Inner child brim with pride and which have been ticked off my bucket list.
There were also sad and painful moments, like betrayals from people I thought were genuine friends. It was bittersweet, but it also did bring me an abundance of happiness and inner peace. It also taught me Self Love. I realized in the end it was God’s way of protection and a blessing in disguise. As they say, “If their absence brings you peace, it wasn’t a loss” . In retrospect, I realized it wasn't really a loss either, just another lesson along the way on my journey of self improvement. Before I knew it, newer friendships and genuine connections came in and I woke up not feeling love or hate for these people that crossed me, just indifference.
Despite everything, life can be magical. As if every thought, action and word you speak will help you manifest your outer reality like ripples on a pond of clear water. The Universe listens to your prayers and it always has your back. Through the sleepless nights, the sad moments and fits of anger, it hears you.
That being said, you are allowed to feel frustrated, angry and depressed. These emotions are all valid feelings and you must feel them all. But it’s equally important to know when to surrender and when to release them too. Raising your vibration and frequency from a low or negative one isn’t easy. It’s much easier to sulk, complain and whine about others and blame them for things not going your way. The Magic of transmuting those negative feelings into positive ones and to manifest your dream life is amazing and limitless. Choosing your outlet for creative endeavors like painting, photography, writing, cooking, drawing, and playing guitar for example is a good way to transmute low vibrations into something positively astonishing.
New beginnings are just so magical. Imagine. you are given every morning to have another chance at life and to make it beautiful. You’re given 365 chances every single year to improve yourself and to work on reaching your dreams. It’s important to not waste that and to cultivate a sense of gratitude for every new morning and new beginning.
