Fill Your Voids, Transform Your Life
“What is important in a dress is the woman who is wearing it.”
On this first day of 2016, I’m going to be completely transparent about thoughts that transformed my world in the past few months, and I believe as you read, these thoughts will transform your world for 2016 also.
Similar to “Promises are Free, So What Price Are You Paying?”, you need to act and meditate on these thoughts. Our worlds cannot change without action from us, and trust on our part that we are making permanent change to better our lives.
Several months ago, I began studying, listening to, and reading works of Dr. Wayne Dyer. His works and research have profoundly changed my outlook because I look at things so differently now. Recently, as recommended by Dr. Dyer, I began reading “Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life” which is a study of the Tao Te Ching, an ancient book of wisdom. Reading this has transformed the way I look at life already.
I also began writing 5 things I am grateful for at the end of each night so that my mind is filled with gratefulness as I drift off to sleep — another recommendation of Dr. Dyer. By no coincidence, I was searching for a great notebook/journal in which to write my 5 items. Digging in a pile of journals at Marshalls one day, I found the book featured in the photo. “Change your thoughts & you’ll change the world” the cover read. The universe delivered it. For this, I am truly grateful.
As I’m reading verse 11 in “Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life” this morning, the verse focuses on looking at the void as the most purposeful part of something. Reflecting on this while in meditation, it is true. In the physical world, the most useful part of anything is typically the vast emptiness of it. What fills the vast emptiness is what creates the energy, and puts life into nothingness!
Take a minute and think about this altered way of looking at the void:
* an empty house — life is the family that fills it
* an empty vase — life is the flowers and water that fill it
* a dress on a hanger — life is the woman who wears it
* a body of skin, muscle, bones — life is the soul who embodies it
The year 2016 is a vast emptiness of blank hours, days, weeks, and months. 2016 will take on the life that YOU give it! What will you fill those hours and days with? How will you transform your voids into meaningful hours, days, and months? Will you sit idly and watch TV filling your brain with nothingness or will you read a powerful book to implement positive new habits in your life? Will you spend extra hours at work to buy that ridiculous item you think you need or will you leave on time to stop by and see your family who loves you instead?
“Don’t live the same year 75 times and call it a life.” — Robin Sharma
Look at the emptiness of 2016 right now, and decide how you will fill it. Decide how you can transform into life, love, and success. Decide how you will change your thoughts to change your world.
