No New Year’s Resolution

New Year’s resolutions are to invoke change.  An opportunity to decide to be or to do things different.  That being said I encourage all of mankind to just care a little more this year.  Set a resolution, don’t set a resolution; not important.  Just make up your mind to care a little more this year. Care about what? Care about your relationships, family, friends, loved ones, neighbors, and strangers.  Care about soldiers, prisoners, politicians, lawyers, corporate leaders, innocent casualties of war, the starving, and your enemies.   Care about the planet, water, land, and sky.  Care about your food source, the farmers, and yourself. Care about the words you say.  Just genuinely care.   It’s not that caring is going to fix all the wrongs of the world or that we have to be responsible for everything or do anything differently, but if we don’t care nothing will change.

The Bhagavad Gita, a lesson in yoga taught on the battlefield between armies, is considered by many to be one of the greatest spiritual texts ever written.  Arjuna, the mightiest warrior, ordered his charioteer Krishna to take him to the middle of the battlefield staged with armies on either side, moments before the war is to begin.  As Arjuna surveys the scene he finds that he cares about the lives on both sides of the field.  It is this caring that leads to the teachings from Krishna that have transformed millions since the time of its writing. What will caring bring about in your life?

And how long will you should you care?  The war in the Gita is symbolic of the confrontation of to do or not to do, an internal battle over being the best we can be or … not.  To live by Krishna’s, words practicing meditation, service, or devotion to the lord with morality, and good health without lust, greed, or anger or not to do so is where the fight originates.  It matters not after Krishna’s lesson whether Arjuna wins the inevitable battle, lives or dies as long as he has decided to live by the word.  This is the real battle.  To subdue all the reasons not to and to practice the teachings.  To be victorious over self doubt, to fight the lethargy, and to be all that we can be.  We need to care.

Peace and Happy New Years,

Jim
