Welcome to the new world

Welcome to today. Today you get to be exactly who you would like to be. By choosing wisely your words and actions you get to create your next moment. In being the most authentic person in the room, you get to be all of yourself and create a world in which that whole self can be reflected.

Just as our cells renew, we too can renew the world in which we live. On a global level, we get to speak up and make change by using this wonderful new fangled thing we have called the internet. It’s amazing. It actually works. Locally we can make a new world for millions of microbial organisms just by growing something in a pot, or starting a compost bin. It’s remarkable how much power we have to make new things with our actions (even small ones).

Kind acts, like Jimmy Fallon buying his whole staff flowers on Valentine’s Day, are remembered far into the future. With these we create good will which often carries on in infinite ways as those we are kind to then do the same to others in their lives.

So this New Year, I’m hoping that with many small conscious acts we recognise our power and our ability to make the world new. And with this optimistic prediction, I welcome you to that new world. It starts now.
