Leave It At The Door

     As we approach the threshold of a new year, let us imagine that we are standing before a vast doorway. On the other side of that doorway is a fresh opportunity to make our lives just the way we want them to be. Before we step through this doorway, let us resolve to leave anything that hinders us behind. Unload all the old fears, resentments, guilt, bad memories or thoughts that tell us we cannot succeed. Cast off the poor self image and voices from the past that tell you that you were not good or smart enough. Let all of the heavy burdens that have weighed you down drop to the ground. Release what was and embrace what is... step through the doorway now, and make your life the journey you always wished it to be. The landscape of time is brand new, and you are never too old or too young to have a joyful goal before you. Make this your time to fly, even if your wings have been broken in the past. After all, it is the power of thought that propels us and the power of faith that gives us wings. So tonight at midnight, when the ball drops, let your soul rise.
