Eight years ago I started the new year with the decision to have a word of the year, "abundance." 2015 was a good year. But 2016, I went the other way and chose "emptiness."Looking back the emptiness year was a year that truly changed my life.
That's the paradox of life. If you want a sense of abundance, emptiness is the value that will generate that effortlessly. If you focus on stuff, you just end up with more stuff.
But the mind resists. Do I have the courage to truly value emptiness?
Read an article yesterday that claimed a focus on defined values it what gets people to stay motivated when their instrinsic motivation fails. By definining emptiness as my value, I wonder if this is a quicker way to recharge than abundance.
If I were to value and focus on emptiness, where do I see my life five years from now?
I'm enlightened, self realized, equipped to help others know happiness.
