Embracing the new year as a warrior of the light

As we start another year in our lives, I want to share with you a passage to help you on your path to becoming the best version of yourself.
The message is an extract from Paolo Coelho's Manual of the Warrior of the Light. It tells the story of the struggle and perseverance it takes to overcome our doubts and barriers.
Overcoming those doubts and barriers can often times bring us uncomfortable feelings. But if you maintain your resolution to follow what is right and good ~to pursue the light~, you will soon realize how those uncomfortable feelings can help you realize all you have been created to do (and along the journey, change into something fuzzy and warm).
Remember, this is your year. This is your moment. Everyday.
~Excerpt~
"The warrior of light is now waking from his dream.
He thinks: 'I do not know how to deal with this light that is making me grow.' The light, however, does not disappear.
The warrior thinks: 'Changes must be made that I do not feel like making.'
The light remains, because 'feel' is a word full of traps.
Then the eyes and heart of the warrior begin to grow accustomed to the light. It no longer frightens him and he finally accepts his own Legend, even if this means running risks.
The warrior has been asleep for a long time. It is only natural that he should wake up very gradually."

No journey is easy and no knowledge is fast to be acquired.
Be patient when pursuing your goals everyday.
Embrace the changes and challenges that you face.
Seek out support and help each other wherever you are.
And most importantly, don't forget to trust the process of your own development and to live that commitment everyday of your life.
I wish each one of you an amazing new year 2019! If you would like to share your dreams, connect with others, or want to reach out for help, don't forget to leave a comment.
Trust the process. Live the commitment
