Brush away old heartaches.
Learn from our mistakes.
Another year is finally over.
A new dawn awakes.
Let the old year out.
Welcome the new one in.
Bury the bad things of the past
As a new year now begins.

Take care of your body – John Holland
Taking care of your body and your health should be a top priority especially when developing your psychic abilities. Eat a balanced diet; drink plenty of water, rest, and exercise. If you have a healthy body, this will greatly help you in becoming more receptive.

In the face of so much change,
what can I be sure of?
Rather dubious hopes,
certain misadventure.
I wave on these disillusions
in my long, useless illusion.
Time and age have given me
a different set of concerns.
I’m tired of change.
I prefer a pain that’s secure.
Vain hopes are for those
unaware of what they risk.

Love
Love, like rain, can nourish from above,
drenching couples with a soaking joy.
But sometimes, under the angry heat of life,
Love dries on the surface and must nourish from below,
tending to its roots, keeping itself alive.
Parenthood
Parents rarely let go of their children, so children let go of them.
Children move on, they move away.
The moments that used to define them,
a mother’s approval, a father’s nod, are covered by moments of their own accomplishments.
It’s not until much later, as the skin sags and the heart weakens, that children understand.
Their stories, and all their accomplishments, sit atop the stories of their mothers and fathers, store upon stone, beneath the waters of their lives.
Anger vs Forgiveness
Holding anger is like a poison
It eats you from inside
We think that hating is a weapon that attacks the person who harmed us
But hatred is a curved blade
And the harm we do, we do to ourselves.
FORGIVE!
No one is born with anger.
When we die, the soul is freed to it.
London – a poem by William Blake
I wander through each chartered street,
Near where the chartered Thames does flow,
And mark in every face I meet marks of weakness, marks of woe.
In every cry of every man,
In every infant’s cry of fear, in every voice, in every ban,
The mind-forged manacles I hear how the chimney-sweeper’s cry
Every black’ning church appeals,
And the hapless soldier’s sigh runs in blood down palace walls.
But most through midnight streets
I hear how the youthful harlot’s curse
Blasts the new-born infant’s tear,
And blights with plagues the marriage hearse.
Courage by Robert Biswar-Diener
Courage contains two primary internal elements: the willingness to act and the ability to control fear.
When you can successfully curb your fears and boost your ability to take action, you are better able to live a full and virtuous life.
You are more likely to face challenges with grace, connect with and inspire others, and be a force for good.
