Resolute
This word of the week blossomed in my mind refusing to be passed over, calling my consciousness to its timeliness. To be resolute is to be ‘…firmly determined in purpose’. Our seasonal ritual of making resolutions always includes this firm determination to change…to change ourselves or our situation in some fundamental way; to improve ourselves. ‘True’, ‘loyal’, and ‘faith’ are all synonyms for resolute; and resolution is an action word.
I received a very insightful e-mail regarding the focus of this traditional passage. Rather than direct our steadfast determination to change a pattern, behavior, habit, or situation that we consider negative, why not shift the focus to the positive? I invite you to examine the possibilities of exploring, expanding, creating, discovering and using more of your innate potential. And be resolute!
