The Container of Success for the Year Ahead: 2018

1/6/2018

Comments

 
"Quality is not perfection, it is preparedness." 
​~ note sitting on my desk

 
At the conclusion of each year I reflect on what I’ve accomplished, what I’ve learned, new wisdoms gleamed from any challenges I faced and what I wish to accomplish in the new year. 
 
Each year I pick a word to strengthen my abilities and hold the container for my growth.  This year, the word that gifted its way into my heart is “quality”. 

 
This year is not going to be about doing more.  It is about taking what I have and fine tuning it. 
This year is not going to be about perfection.  Perfection is an unsustainable goal.  But this year will be about preparedness.
This year also won’t be about accomplishing more.  This year will be about masterfully delving deeper into what is ready to flourish.
 
Through quality, the beacon of mastery beckons.
Through quality, we see, feel, touch and experience the optimal.
Through quality, we grow deeper roots and as the saying goes, the deeper the roots the taller the tree
.
 
The irony is this:  When we choose one characteristic to focus on,
we empower other areas of our life naturally. 
 
By focusing on quality, more incidentally gets done.  Focusing on quality, we may hit moments of perfection. By focusing on quality, more accomplishments will be had and positive growth will ensue. 
 
I invite you to consider… what is your “quality” this year? 

In Sufi traditions, a quality is an aspect of the Divine that empowers, heals, and lends to our wholeness.  Focusing on one quality at a time fertilizes the entire garden of this life that we keep.
