Easter is one of the most special public holidays of the
year. Of course there is a special significance for Christians but there is
also something in the air for everyone.
As the mornings and evenings grow lighter and as the last of
the winter frosts disappear, there is a great feeling of new beginnings. The
first trees are in blossom and the others have green buds. The grass is
starting to grow faster than even the most avid gardener can mow it.
This is great
time of the year to look back at those New Year resolutions, to review progress
and to take any corrective action needed.
Some people have a keen awareness
of the way that the seasons can affect our feelings and attitudes. The chances
are that you made those January resolutions in the midst of a cold, grey and
wet winter. That probably made your emotions and optimism pretty cold, grey and
wet too.”
But, when the natural world is bursting with
the promise of a glorious spring and the warmth of summer, this is an ideal
time to decide that you too will start over and put right anything that you
feel needs correction in your own life.”
Unless humans interfere with nature, it has
its own graceful balance. The old and used makes way for the new and the
vibrant. Anyone can do the same with their own thoughts and attitudes. Perhaps
those fondly held beliefs that served you well in the past are due for an
overhaul. Perhaps it is time to restore your own natural balance.
Balance means
harmony rather than discord. This should include a brief but
thorough examination of all the areas of your life – relationships, career,
health, finances, leisure and talents.
An example of discord - There was a man who was a success by most
material measures. Despite his large house, ample income and luxury car, he was
an unhappy person. He had spent so much energy building his business that he
had no time left for all those other aspects of his life. He decided to take action with the help of a Life Coach as the coaching
sessions progressed he began to work on restoring the balance. Within weeks he
had found happiness too and without putting any of his material gains at risk
either.”
It would have to be a very cold
individual indeed to totally ignore the promise of Easter. So take some of that
promise for yourself and then make sure it is a promise that is delivered. You
deserve nothing less.
