child-427173_640Can you see growth in the past year, or are you exactly the same?  What do we mean by growth?  Your capacity for understanding and compassion of the human condition.  Your ability to forgive yourself and others for human transgressions born of ignorance.  Your expressions of divine love toward yourself and others.  These are but a few indicators.  There is no contest, no competition.  There are no grades, but the rewards are great:  greater peace, greater joy, and gratitude galore.

If you are not growing in ways that are self-evident, then have a talk with the self.  New years represent new beginnings.  You are judged not by your guides.  They are here to help you.  The desire for new beginnings in every moment comes from within—a natural process as you remember and awaken to the True Self.  Happy new year, beautiful light.
