Seeing the Potential in All Life

“The universe buries strange jewels deep within us all, and then stands back to see if we can find them.” — Big Magic, Elizabeth Gilbert


We’ve just been through a birthing process. Can you feel it? It’s the lead up to the end of the year and the leap into the next. One day it’s 2021, and the next it’s 2022. Bam. Just like that. Another day. Another year.

Fresh start! New beginnings! Like an exciting, new relationship! Such a nice change from the heaviness of the year before. Predictions abound in the form of channeled messages, visions, insights. Heck, you can even get your own “prediction’s calendar” tailored specifically to you. Dates that spell out what’s to come in 2022.

We wonder what’s next, what’s coming, how to prepare for the unknown — a.k.a. the new year. It’s as if we are looking through binoculars trying to bring what is far away closer. So we can see. So we can feel safe. The unknown can be unsettling, especially since we’ve just gone through two roller coaster years that have put us all on edge. Yes, this year we plan to be more prepared!

All that planning and setting goals helps us make sense of our world and gives us a direction in which to head.

But I wonder what would happen if, rather than zooming in and looking at the details, we actually softened our gaze a little?

When we soften our gaze, something magical occurs: our hearts also soften, allowing us to see things from a different perspective in the moment.

Why? The heart is a perceptive center, capable of taking in a much bigger picture. Our hearts help us look within to see the depth and beauty of every moment, every situation, every being. Our hearts allow us to see the aura of potential — the treasures that are buried within each of us.

All we have to do is look for the meanings within each moment. For example:

POTENTIAL: Poised On The Energy Now Today In All Life.

So, are you ready to go on your own treasure hunt for inner gold?

If so, in 2022:

  1. Be Curious rather than certain.

  2. Approach Life with a sense of Wonder.

  3. Have a true Willingness to see another perspective.

  4. Be Consciously Sensitive to each moment, situation, person, plant or animal.

  5. See and feel with your Heart.

  6. Ask “What If” questions.

  7. Slap on your superpower suit. Pretend you have x-ray vision that allows you to see the Truth and Meaning underneath all circumstances.

  8. Ask the animals to help you Awaken to Love.

  9. Ask yourself: what do I see First in Another? What do I see First in Myself?

  10. 10. Experience the Soul in everything.

Potential — not Predictions.
