I recently happened to bump into an old TV series entitled “Space 1999.” Due to the fact that I have always been a big “Star Trek” fan, I just had to watch a couple of episodes and, I must say, it resulted to be fairly good ‘60s science fiction. What fascinates me most in this kind of old shows is the fact that they used to consider the end of the second millennium and, consequently, the beginning of the years 2000s as a far away time, where the world would be totally different. OK, now we are well into the 2000s. So? How does our world look like? Mankind has certainly not conquered space in the sense of traveling to the stars, visiting other galaxies, colonizing alien planets. We are still here, very much bound to the Earth, in spite of the few space missions, space stations, astronauts’ space walks. But ... we have technology. We have so many devices that literally turned the world into the long-predicted global village. There are no more secrets, everything (good or bad) is out in the open, no one seems to be willing to have a “personal,” private life any more. But, enough of this.
Now ... allow me to make a few a few considerations while I am extending my best wishes to you for a Happy New Year.
In the late nineties you were anxiously waiting for the new Millennium to start because you had made plans. There were things you wanted to carry out or change in your life, you had great expectations from yourself and from others. The year 2000 came and passed and you felt that most things were still the same, including yourself. Then you began waiting for year 2012. You had heard the story concerning the completion of the Mayan Calendar and the possible transformation that might have taken place on all levels of the human existence. The physical, psychological, emotional, and/or spiritual levels might have been radically altered by the astronomical position of the stars. Year 2012 came and passed and here you are, at the end of 2013, still the same. The cosmos is still the same and your life has not changed very much. You have not done most of what you were planning to do, while you may have done something that you had not planned of doing. Quite a few things seem not to have gone according to your forecast. It is actually interesting to notice how seldom things in life follow the guidelines that had been previously set out. Why does this happen? Are human beings careless, or lazy, or incapable? Not at all. They are simply “human” and, according to their (your, mine, our) nature, they talk and dream more than they spring into action.
Anyway, your life is not bad at all, thank goodness, but you still feel that you have not given of yourself and obtained from others the best yet. You keep experiencing the nagging feeling that you can do much more, that your capabilities have not been unveiled and displayed yet, that your potential is still waiting its great opportunity to be shown to the world. You also believe that so far — life has not given you all that you deserve.
But...here comes the good news! In a couple of days a New Year is starting and you still have time to finally put your intentions into practice and make them become reality. You have already made promises to yourself and you have not kept them (or, at least, not completely). Now you can make up for your previous lack of resolution. Here is a new opportunity available to you. Year 2014 is knocking and you are going to open your door. Let creativity, willpower, determination, commitment, dedication and trust accompany you in welcoming the New Year. Once again, (and again, and again…) it is up to you to decide what you want to do with the rest of your life.
