A day to reflect on the year just past and make plans for the year ahead. You may be making resolutions and promises to yourself to do better things for your well-being, the well-being of others and the planet.
We may want to write down promises we have made and put them in a place that we can look at them every day to enjoy the success of the previous day or to remind yourself of the goals. Maybe you will have very specific goals or time goals, so you can daily check your progress or lack thereof. Some choose to write down progress in a special diary kept for this purpose.
If you start to drift back into your old habitual ways for a day, don’t be upset with yourself. Just start again and again if necessary, remembering even a little progress will give you a sense of accomplishment. Help others on their path to fulfill the promises they made for themselves and give them encouragement. Maybe you have a common goal, so you could make a friendly competition out of it. If you appear to be doing better than your friend, never boast. It does not matter if they appear to be doing better than you, just keep encouraging others as well as yourself.
Over the last year we published a reading every day which allows for the repetition of the ancient wisdom to be able to penetrate and come alive in your life. And our website continues to grow. We have produced and published a number of videos, many articles and the 64 hexagrams of the I Ching. Also, it is now possible for you to find answers to all questions that you may have by going to “Get your free I Ching reading”. Try it and you may be amazed at the answers. Finally, this past year we added the “Flower Power” series where we delve into ways to add new dimension to your life through relating to nature. All of the these can be found at the top of our website in the drop-down menus.
Time to Contemplate will continue to give you words of wisdom from the ancients each day this year to help you and ourselves stay on our chosen paths.
