ENCOURAGING WORDS By Dr. Dennis Merritt Jones
“Life is a blackboard upon which we consciously or unconsciously write those messages which govern us. We hold the chalk and the eraser in our hand but are ignorant of this fact. What we now experience we need not continue to experience but the hand which holds the eraser must do its neutralizing work.” ~ Dr. Ernest Holmes
2020 has been a real roller coaster of a ride for many of us. How about you? Speaking for myself, I could name a few experiences I do not wish to replicate in the new year ahead–especially a pandemic.
Understanding the role my consciousness (or belief system) plays in creating my future, I am taking an intentional time-out this week to gain some clarity around this point; what part of the energetic imprint (memories attached to specific experiences) of 2020 will I choose to leave behind and what part will I bring with me? Just being aware that we all have the power to do so metaphorically puts us in the drivers seat as we cruise down the highway, crossing the borderline of a new “state” of consciousness in a new year. My question for you is what will be new about you in 2021 as you enter into the New Year? We hold the power to create a new experience in life by first understanding that while we can’t change the past, we can choose not to recreate it by dragging it into the future. To that I say, it’s all BS!
Of course, by “BS,” I mean your belief system. You have to be willing to identify and remove old beliefs that too often subtly undermine your success and replace them with new beliefs that support your vision of a new you in the new year. You hold the chalk and the eraser!
A NEW YEAR’S CALL TO ACTION: When an old behavior pops up, stop what you are doing and challenge it. Call it out and expose it to the light of the new you… and then make another choice that honors your highest intention for 2021. If need be, enlist the support of a mentor, counselor or trusted friend to be your cheerleader—to help you stay on point. Don’t concern yourself with how this will happen; once you are clear on the what, the universe has a way of guiding you in taking the appropriate actions required to manifest the how.
Realize that in this process you have just taken hold of the chalk and the eraser. Happy New You!
Peace, Dr. Dennis Merritt Jones
