Live in Peace

A new year! A new day, and new chance to do better than the day before. This is a moment to seize and then to squeeze every drop of life from it. This is a chance to live without remorse, regret, unforgiveness. It is a time to let go. Eckhart Tolle observed how ducks fight. "When they get into a fight, it is never long. Then they separate, floating off in opposite directions. Each duck flaps its wings vigorously a few times, which releases surplus energy built up during the fight. After they flap their wings, they float on peacefully, as if nothing had ever happened" (Tolle 2005, 137).

Now we know that there will be fights and spiritual battles to be won. Can you, this time, let that last fight go? Shake it off! Let the built up energy release so that you can move into your peace. Let it go!! You cannot hold on if you are going to progress. Live in peace!
