Awake
by Rumi
The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don’t go back to sleep.
You must ask for what you really want.
Don’t go back to sleep.
People are going back and forth across the doorsill
where the two worlds touch.
The door is round and open.
Don’t go back to sleep.
The new year will soon be upon us. Say your prayers of thanks for the year that has passed, and understand what the gift is in the experiences you’ve had. For every experience there is a lesson to be learned, to make your soul whole. Even in the experiences you feel is unforgivable, the ones that have caused you so much pain, there is a lesson. Just as there is in the joyous times.
And ask, ask for what you want in the coming year. For if you do not ask, you do not get. Inscribe somewhere your goals and wishes for the coming year, so that you may have it as a constant reminder and source of motivation for the year ahead. And so that you can tick it off :)
In the words of Rumi, don’t go back to sleep, don’t live life sleeping in 2010 – be active, set yourself goals to achieve and carry out the actions to achieve them!
What do you want in 2010?
