I have to admit that somewhere inside of me – and inside of so many I love – there’s still a silent hope that today will mark the end of the world as we know it: an end to all those beliefs, ideas and behaviors that are no longer serving our human family and our planet. And a beginning to an age in which we finally come together to create the world we’ve always wanted.
There will be no cataclysm. No Doomsday. No Armageddon.
But still there could be a new beginning. If we choose to make it so.
We could make a decision to come together to create a new future for our world. We could make a simple promise to one another: a promise to change our selves. A promise to let go of what is no longer working. A promise to do our part to create a world that works for us all.
So today, I stand with people across the globe to say: it’s time. And I am ready.
I hope you’ll join us today as we come together to welcome the apocalypse. You can join us at www.LoveApocalypse.com.
Let’s light the world on fire. And begin again. Together.
Starting today:
I will let go of smashing myself to bits. I will create a world where open hearts manifest their innate wisdom and compassion, easing suffering in the world.
3. This quote from Jonathan Fields, “You cannot create change in others. Until you embody the truth you seek to inspire.”
4. From my Inner Pilot Light, “When you let go of attachment to outcomes, the Universe is free to work its magic, and it’s a great opportunity to learn to trust that even if things don’t go the way you hoped, the Universe has always got your back.”
7. From Pema Chödrön, on training with uncertainty:
Many of us prefer practices that will not cause discomfort, yet at the same time we want to be healed. But bodhichitta training doesn’t work that way. A warrior accepts that we can never know what will happen to us next. We can try to control the uncontrollable by looking for security and predictability, always hoping to be comfortable and safe. But the truth is that we can never avoid uncertainty. This not knowing is part of the adventure, and it’s also what makes us afraid.
10. Regrets of the Dying from Bronnie Ware. This is one I’ve posted before, but it bears repeating.
11. Quote from Kris Carr: “When we accept ourselves exactly as we are, in exactly this moment, we shift from living for tomorrow to appreciating today.”
12. This quote: “There is a way that nature speaks, that land speaks. Most of the time we are simply not patient enough, quiet enough, to pay attention to the story.” ~Linda Hogan
13. I love whatPatti Digh has to say about about making strong offerings, “Putting your work into the world without regret, without attachment to outcome, without hesitation. Voicing your voice.”
20. Aimee Mann puts on one of the best Christmas shows ever. Sadly, she’s not doing it this year, but she shared this video (a compilation of videos made to play during her previous shows).
23. A New Year’s Ritual. Andrea Scher always has the best New Year’s prompts, and this year she shares them in a series of videos, (it’s a total bonus that she’s also super cute).
24. This quote: “Grief is not a disorder, a disease or a sign of weakness. It is an emotional, physical and spiritual necessity, the price you pay for love. The only cure for grief is to grieve.” ~Earl Grollman
