Rest in Reason.. Move in Passion

 

Last year I whined A Lot.

This year, I am not.

 

I read something that has really stuck

with me:

Don't set goals.

Do what makes you happy.

Do what you have a passion to do.

 

That really made the most sense

of anything I have read in a long time.

 

The word for this year?

 

I think you guessed it.

 

Passion.

 

Rest in reason; move in Passion.

     ~~ Khalil Gibran

 

Our passions are the winds

that propel our vessel.

Our reason is the pilot that steers her.

Without winds the vessel would not move and without a pilot she would be lost.

   ~~ Proverbs

 

It is the soul's duty to be loyal

to its own desires.

It must abandon itself

to its master passion.

  ~~ Rebecca West

 

Here's to a Passionate New Year!

 

 

 

Happy New Year!

“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

As we take the New Year to look back, let's not forget that looking forward matters more. Empty your hands of the past so that you may grasp the future. Look ahead, not behind, so that you may more surely place your feet in this new decade. Forgive and forget, so that your heart will be open to new loves, new passions, new dreams. And, most of all, remember to stay in the moment. Life is an adventure, not a problem to be solved.

May you have a very blessed and happy new year!

Fondly,

Matty
