It's that time of the year again for me - a time when as another year approaches, full of promise, I want to renew some promises to myself too.
The other day I came across this most powerful quote :
How long will you keep pounding on an open door
Begging for someone to open it?
~ Rabi'a al-'Adawiyya
It really hit home. Too often, we're waiting for something or someone to kick start us on our way to achieving our dreams, when the power to make them come true is within us. So I'm not going to wait around an open door, but walk right in and make my dreams come true.
A few questions that I need to answer for myself are:
1. If you were to FULLY live your life, what is the first change you would start to make?
2. What do you want MORE of in your life? (Make a list)
3. What do you want LESS of in your life? (Make a list)
4. What are three things you are doing regularly that don't serve or support you?
5. What would you try now if you knew you could not fail?
I'm going to be working on my answers and share them with you tomorrow. If you'd like to share your answers with me, do write to me: everydaygyaan@gmail.com.
Remember your dreams have been given to you for a purpose - it's your duty to make them come true.

Dear Corinne
Thank you for this joy of a post :) am wandering around in my life, pounding on that open door right now :) And you give me that focus, just when I need it! Thank you!
Loved the way you put it here :
Too often, we're waiting for something or someone to kick start us on our way to achieving our dreams, when the power to make them come true is within us.
Hello Corrine, thank you for the guiding list. I find it really helpful. I will start with the house, after all home is where your heart it.
Looking forward to your next post. Happy New Year.

Corinne,
This is a wonderful and highly thought provoking post.
Youre very right...we often wait for something to happen...to make us kick start our dormant projects.,,when in reality we need to be able to be a go getter from the very beginning of the conception of that dream.
Being Aware and Mindful at all times can truly make all the difference.
Heres hoping my 2010 is Aware and Mindful.
I await what you share in your lists tomorrow :)
Lots of love and Happy New year in advance :)
