2012 was a year of fractures. It was a collection of days that tested our faith in walking in our own footsteps. Much like this beautiful image called Ice Rider, taken by National Geographic photographer Matthieu Paley, we have to trust that there is strength to hold us safely as we traverse the many cracks that test who we are during these trials.
We have no idea what 2013 will hold, except that it will be another year that will test our inner strength.
- Will we start to build our dreams?
- Will we be brave enough to show our true selves to the world?
- Will we walk across the cracks to get to our ultimate destination?
These are just a few of the momentous questions that we might encounter when we traverse into a year that seems to indicate rebirth in the truest sense of the word. After all, we met one another on the other side of an ancient myth of finality as though we were given permission to embrace a new beginning. We didn’t go through the painful months of 2012 without realizing that we are indeed capable of being architects of our own destiny (if we so choose). Our world is begging for renewal, and people everywhere are starting to hear its pleas. 2013 can be a year of strength if we abide by the requirements of this rebirth. It’s up to us to share our inner strengths with others to build a foundation that will hold up everything required for a potentially new way of life. Hopefully, we’re all not only up to the task, but willing to participate in this joint period of renewal. Here’s to making it through 2012 and building a brighter 2013.
