It is officially 2009 today! I know many of us had an incredible 2008, and others had a year of struggling. I had a combination of the two. On one hand, I started this site and business, an another business. I also met some of the most incredible people I now call my closest friends. I opened new doors to new opportunities. I learned more about life than I ever thought I could in 365 days.

On the other hand, I lost a lot of money in my investments, the engine on my car went out, and I had to pull strings to fix it. I saw my biggest account come to an end due to economic hardships. I watched businesses fail, and best friends get laid off. I’ve had moments where I lost sight of my own achievements and goals.

So as 2009 begins, I stress to everyone that you start t off on the right foot. Live passionately. Live purposefully. Live just to live, and not to waste away at the office. Breathe in life every day, and release your stress every night. The world you desire is already here – you’re living in it. You just happen to be stuck in a negative hallucination of what you think you life is really made of. Take a deep breath, and open your eyes to the wonders around you.

Namaste!
