Keeping Promises...in 2012 We have a very artificial way of keeping count, of holding others to their word.
Keeping Promises...in 2012
We have a very
artificial
way of keeping
count, of holding others to their word.
We create contracts
for marriage, for business and as
promises, which are
a verbal contract.
Here is the real
danger of making a promise to
another. A promise
is made during a moment in time that
you can never
replicate again. A promise assumes you
know what the
future will bring.
Therefore, promises
are made to be broken. Don't count
on others to keep
their promises.
How many times have
you made a promise only to regret
it even moments
later, because you have changed?
In 2012 we will
come face-to-face with the promises we
have made to others
and others have made to us. We'll
see this year that
any declaration must be made only
moment-to-moment.
When you love and
respect another, there is no such
thing as an
obligation.
Promises always
come with an obligation.
Remember that 2012
begins and ends with a 2... the
number of
one-on-one relationships.
The two 2's frame
the number "01".
0 and 1 (circles
and lines) make up our universe. They
also form computer
code.
0 symbolizes
Female.
1 symbolizes Male.
2012 is the fusion,
the balancing of the male and
female within all
of us in the realm of our
relationships.
Since 2012 adds up
to 5, the number of Freedom, our
relationships will
undergo a profound shift. Expect to
be re-balanced this
year in how you inter-act with
every person in
your life.
The essence of
Freedom is to welcome Change.
Change is who you are.
It is the only thing that is
constant about you.
You can't promise that you will be
the same tomorrow
as you are now. That would not be
honest.
Therefore, all
promises to another are actually
keeping you from
living your truth.
Instead of making a
promise, see your life as a series
of decisions and
declarations made moment-to-moment.
Let's say you make
a decision to be in a romantic
partnership. In
order for you BOTH to be free, don't
promise this person
that you will feel this way
forever. Instead,
make the decision over and over to
love and cherish
your partner. This makes your
declaration of
commitment a free choice. Plus you'll
never resent your
partner if your relationship changes
down the road. (And
it keeps the relationship fresh!)
Taking this example
further, let's say your partner
does not want to
keep his promise to you, for whatever
reason. Why would
you want someone to keep an
obligation against
his wish? What does that accomplish,
except friction and
strife?
No person, nothing
is worth holding on to against his
or her will.
Yes, I know it
sounds risky and hard, but this is the
whole point of
Freedom.
When you give
another person their freedom, you are
giving the gift of
freedom to yourself.
You will begin to
notice that, as hard as some
decisions feel at
first, you and the other person will
be far better off
letting go of something that is no
longer working than
holding on.
We have made our
lives so complicated by wanting to
control others
around us to fit our view of life.
Letting go and
allowing another do "As You Wish" is
the key to inner
peace and happiness.
2012 begins a whole
new cycle in human history where
we enable each
other in the spirit of Freedom.
Nothing is
guaranteed from now on. Except your Freedom
to change.
And that is good
news.
In : Year 2012
