I want to wish each of you and all who are dear to you a most wonderful 2010! May it be a year of health, happiness, good fortune and spiritual discovery.
My wish for 2010 is that each of us will look inside, or as Micheal used to sing, let's each start with the 'man' in the mirror and ask ourselves, "How can I change in order to bring the change that I seek into my world?"
My wish for 2010 is that each of us will break free of whatever shackles hold us back from fulfilling what we truly want to fulfill, perhaps even what we are destined to fulfill.
Each of us know or at least I hope feel somewhere deep down inside, that when it comes to overcoming the immense challenges that collectively face us all, "what got us here, ain't gonna get us there." In fact, "what got us here" has created the threats and challenges we find ourselves now facing.
Whether we consider ourself religious, spiritual or just a simple collection of genetic material, we know from our own lives and from so many examples around us that love, caring, compassion and giving raise us individually and collectively to a place far removed from the self-destructive sides of our 'human nature.'
Don't look to others to start first. Don't look to others to be the 'leaders.' Each of us is a leader and each of us is a hero. But, only if we want to be and only if we choose to be.
Let's create a 2010 of peace, love, compassion and caring: in our own lives, in our families, in our workplaces, in our streets, in our communities, in our countries and in our world. Believe me, it is possible. But you have to believe it too.
I love you.
