Hello. How's it going? To my esteemed -- note, this means that I recognize the astounding-great residing both (In) you and (Upon) You, associates, colleagues, former classmates, and yet to be friends. Here we are literally at the concluding precipice for crossing-over and into a new year. 2023? Ahh! Less than 7-minutes to go in fact!
Can you believe it? Everyone of us reading this page -- i.e., collectively and individually, has / have overcome another year. I do not know about you, but I am mentally, emotionally, cognitively, yes even interpersonally ready, able even postured to begin a bright and new year!
Bright and glorious new year, you might retort? Doctor Shane, 2023 has not even begun. The party has not commenced. The "baby new year" ball has not dropped. Certainly, the midnight bell has not been struck! How can you say that?
Well friend, it is because I have already made "the choice-of-choices." I have already decided that it will be. For, the [inner] vision -- i.e., within, will in time become actualized, manifested into our [external] reality!
Perhaps, all of you -- perhaps only a double-handful (?), have heard of the force, the power of intentionality. Now, without venturing too far into the deep-end (aka) the metaphysical context, I will assert that it is yet another fundamental law of the vast cosmos, fyi.
For example, just recently I was reading an article in a magazine that I receive. The subject focused on the mindset of undeniable, undisputed champions in diverse domains of secular and even sacred society. For the sake of time constraints, we shall only cover / explore two.
Number one; there is MICHAEL PHELPS.
Michael Phelps is a 22(+) time Medal Recipient in the Summer Olympics. Mr. Phelps once stated, "before each race would even begin, I would rehearse each and every swim stroke in my mind." Imagine that, even before positioning himself at the starting line, hours before the booming of the gun, he had already completed the race. Fortunately, for him he now holds 20(+) Gold Medals and then some.
Number two; there is Dr. PAUL TOURNIER, M.D..
Dr. Paul Tournier Is esteemed as one of the most prodigious medical practitioners in sacred history. Did I mention, that he never went to school to be a Psychologist, or Professional Therapist! For he was self-taught. His actual medical license was in General Medicine.
Questions: What motivated this historical figure? What compelled him to practice medicine in an area for which he had no conventional training albeit he is held in such high regards? Good question!
You see, Dr. Paul experienced several extreme setbacks in his formative years. Thus, he made an active decision to prepare himself, thereafter provide exceptional, cutting-edge therapy to all of those who would seek out his assistance.

To the point, he made the decision to give to others that which was not even given to his own beloved parents. And, you know what, it all started with a decision! To become a source of healing, wellness, and vitality for others, or to live an otherwise simple and ordinary life without significance. The force or the power of intentionality it is!
Getting back a positive note. More importantly, tying-up all the loose-ends, I will end with revealing a few snippets of active-intentionality from mine own first-hand life experience.
Looking back over the past two (plus) years, perhaps everyone of us will admit that at times it has been vexating, right! With elusive, unseen, yet the deeply felt impact of the Covid-19 Virus. Plus, the ongoing war in the Ukraine. Not to mention, the rising impact of inflation, etcetera. Which leads to the foremost question to ask of you, were you able to grow as a professional, or even as a human being?
Incidentally, this is the point where I humbly ask of (you) --as the clock slowly winds down to midnight, and shout that age-old expression of celebration and jubilation, "Happy New Year 2023!!!!"
Who knows, just maybe in the process you will be better prepared to venture into next year. New (You): More eager. More lucid More inquisitive. More dynamic. More impactful than decades even before.
Thank you for your [time] and [[attention]]. Wishing all of the absolute best that life has to offer, y-ou. . ..
Happy New Year 2023.
