🎉🥂🍾 WHY BEST YEAR EVER
Fresh Starts are Awesome!
Dear Why Team member,
🎉🥂🍾 HAPPY NEW YEAR!! 🎉🥂🍾
Welcome to your BEST YEAR EVER!!
The year You Become More than Ever Before in 2024!!!
I so love a FRESH NEW START!!
There is new research on the power of the reset mindset; and the new findings remind me of the ancient Buddhist teaching of Beginner’s Mind - not for just a new year or even a new day, but for every arising new moment: begin again - with a Beginner’s Mind. Why?
Because letting go of the past makes more room for what is arising in the present. Letting go of the past can bring more expectancy for the exciting unfolding possibilities in the future.
Just last week I heard a good line on this topic: don’t allow today to dwell too much on yesterday.
The last few months I have been writing my new speech for the New Year titled Becoming More in 2024.
Here’s a prelude - how about we do more than entertain, but rather welcome the idea of BECOMING?!! So many today tend to think in terms of fixed or broken - an either/or mindset - but don’t we all have room to grow?
My daily morning mantra includes:
Live & Learn
Grow & Give
Consider how much you have become over the course of your life:
Where were you 10 years ago?
What were you doing?
How were you thinking and why?
How about 20 years ago, 30 years ago?
Obviously, these questions depend on your age. If you can go back farther, you’ll gain even greater perspective.
Did you become more over time?
Doesn’t everyone at some point think:
“If I only knew then what I know now”?
Well, here is a beautifully brutal truth: One day you will look back on today with the same thought: “if I only knew then what I know now”. Why? Because we’re all becoming more than we were before.
Here is another insight I have found helpful to contemplate:
As of this very moment, with the new experiences I have had just this morning, I am more capable than I have ever been before - this morning’s experience alone provided growth. Well, if I’ve never been more capable than I am right now, this means that all that I have accomplished in the past was done with less capability than I have right now.
For Your Fresh-Start New Year Mindset:
- Today is the beginning of the rest of my life.
- I have never been more capable than I am right now.
- Life has formed me uniquely for a time such as this.
- No matter where I’ve been or what I’ve done - I AM JUST GETTING STARTED.
Dan Sullivan of Strategic Coach says:
“Always Make Your Future Bigger Than Your Past”.
Einstein said, “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking that created them”. I’m sure you’ve heard the old adage: “If we think what we’ve always thought, we’ll get what we’ve always got”.
Therefore, to become more in 2024, consider more the tools that will feed new and empowering ways of thinking:
“Change your thoughts, change your life”.
Dr. Wayne Dyer
