As we close our year and look forward to the next one I wish you nothing.
Now hold on, this is not an insult or a bad thing. Nothing is really the best thing I can think of to offer people such as yourself who are creating a new life, new business, new world and here’s why;
When you visualize nothing, what do you see? A black hole sucking up all light and substance? An end to all you know? Lots of people feel this way. I used to, but I don’t any more.
Try this on for size – if you were in a room full of nothing, what would it look like? Would there be walls? A ceiling? A floor? How would it smell? Would there be a sound or a lack there of? Create an image in your mind of what nothing would be for you. It will be different for everyone. Got it? Good.
Now what if instead of nothing, you made it Nothing/Everything? Instead of a place of lack, a place of possiblity, of creation, of inspiration? A beginning instead of an end? A place of no limits instead of no things?
Maybe it could be a space where everything is possible, where all the tools you need to create a project, a business, a goal or a dream are within your grasp because anything you can imagine within the Nothing is also possible.
What would that mean? How would you proceed with your day? Who would you contact and why? What would you DO? And more important, Who would you BE? Who COULD you be? What sorts of things could you create in that space?
Do you see where I’m going with this? Are you getting excited yet?
What if you could disconnect your Oughta-Pilot; that little voice in your head that keeps telling you “you oughta do this”, or “you oughta do that”? How far could you fly? What would you do? What COULD you do?
There’s really only one answer: “Anything I want!”
So as we draw this year to a close, I wish you a Happy New Year, full to overflowing with Nothing today, tomorrow and always.
See you next year!
Work well, Play well, Be Well

Hi DeBorah,
Very nicely put. Nothing to me is that innerness, the small, still self that says, “Yes, this could work. I could do this.” It takes away all the fears (but what about all this stuff around me? Where does IT fit in?) and opens up all the possibilities.
I think until we get to that place, we can’t really consider all that could be.
Thanks for making me think.
You’re welcome. Your blog posts have often spurred me to action. Hope 2009 is awesome for you and Bob.
