My New Year Return from "Survivor Island"
By Sonia Miller | January 8, 2009
Happy New Year!!! No, I really mean it. HAPPY NEW YEAR! (Big exhale…) I’ve been glad to have a fresh New Year in the past, but after 2008, I find myself reflecting on those Survivor Show contestants who deliberately give up their lives and creature comforts for 39 days… for the challenge, for the money, for the fun?
My husband and I love that show, and being the counselor that I am, I always try to really put myself in their places, beyond the romanticized portrayal you get on TV. It looks so UN-fun to me! And now, after having successfully navigated my mom’s health crisis to witness a miraculous rally, moved her into a wonderful assisted living facility, survived four days of winter camping during our holiday power outage, and somehow not only kept my business alive, but experienced an expansion I never imagined… after all that, I come into this New Year feeling as I imagine Survivor contestants feel upon their return to hot showers, warm meals, the comfort of their own beds and the privilege of sleeping late on a cozy morning.
And so, with 2008 behind us, I was reminded of something I wanted to offer you:
Whether life gives you the wide open space to deliberately set intentions, OR you find yourself ducking for cover as life pummels you with an energetic hail storm, YOU are still the creator of our life. You may not be able to control your circumstances, but you’re not supposed to. This is because those very circumstances are contributing to your greater intention – that is, IF you LET those circumstances be contributions.
How do you create when you’re in the hail storm? You do what you can. That is one of my favorite mantras… because it is simple and it always keeps you moving forward. Your job is to move forward. The Universe will keep you on course.
And if you happen to be in an easy, flowing creative time, then for goodness sake don’t waste it! Let the month of January be a time where you deliberately find a way to bring closure to 2008, and set those powerful intentions for the New Year. For a new spin on how to launch YOUR 2009, be sure to read the feature article below.
Whatever you do, be intentional. When you’re intentional, YOU LIVE your life. When you’re not intentional, life tends to LIVE YOU.
