“What you are, the world is. And without your transformation, there can be no transformation of the world.”
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The new year often brings with it a welcome sense of possibility as we bid farewell to the old and embrace the potential of what’s to come. Even as global challenges continue to contribute to a sense of heightened uncertainty, opportunity awaits when we situate ourselves in gratefulness.
Orienting to the most essential aspects of life offers solid ground from which to move into the future with intention and creativity. As we seek meaningful approaches to daily living, we can open ourselves to the poignancy of life and our connection to each other, to the extraordinary nature of the universe and this time in particular, and to the transformative benefits of living gratefully. How will you step into this new year? Who do you want to be — as an individual and in community? What role will gratefulness play?
May this collection of resources help to support you in welcoming the new year with curiosity, courage, a sense of limitless possibility, and a deepening appreciation of the opportunities in each moment.
