New Year's Resolutions: The Two Lists

by Scott Blum

I was fortunate to spend time with an enigmatic man named Robert during a very special period of my life. Robert taught me many things during our days together, and this time of year reminds me of one particular interaction we had.

"Now that you are becoming more aware," Robert said, "you need to begin to set goals for yourself so you don't lose the momentum you have built."

"Like New Year's resolutions?" I asked.

"That's an interesting idea," he smirked. "Let's do that."

By then I was used to his cryptic responses, so I knew something was up because of the way his eyes sparkled as he let out an impish laugh.

"Tonight's assignment is to make two lists," Robert continued. "The first is a list of all the New Year's resolutions you WANT to keep, and the second is a list of all the New Year's resolutions you WILL keep. Write the WANT List first, and when you have exhausted all of your ideas, then write the second list on another sheet of paper."

That night I went home and spent several hours working on the two lists. The WANT List felt overwhelming at first, but after a while I got into writing all the things I had always wanted to do if the burdens of life hadn't gotten in the way. After nearly an hour, the list swelled to fill the entire page and contained nearly all of my ideas of an ideal life. The second list was much easier, and I was able to quickly commit ten practical resolutions that I felt would be both realistic and helpful.

The next day, I met Robert in front of the local food Co-op, where we seemed to have most of our enlightening conversations. "Tell me about your two lists," Robert said as the familiar smirk crept onto his face.

"The first list contains all the things I SHOULD do if I completely changed my life to be the person I always wanted to be. And the second list contains all the things I COULD do by accepting my current life, and taking realistic steps towards the life I want to lead."

"Let me see the second list," he said.

I handed him the second list, and without even looking at it, he ripped the paper into tiny pieces and threw it in the nearby garbage can. His disregard for the effort I had put into the list annoyed me at first, but after I calmed down I began to think about the first list in a different light. In my heart, I knew the second list was a cop out, and the first list was the only one that really mattered.

"And now, the first list." Robert bowed his head and held out both of his hands.

I purposefully handed him the first list and held his gaze for several seconds, waiting for him to begin reading the page. After an unusually long silence, he began to crumple the paper into a ball and once again tossed it into the can without looking at it.

"What did you do that for?!" I couldn't hide my anger any longer.

Robert began to speak in a quiet and assured voice. "What you SHOULD or COULD do with your life no longer matters. The only thing that matters, from this day forward, is what you MUST do."

He then drew a folded piece of paper from his back pocket and handed it to me.

I opened it carefully, and found a single word floating in the middle of the white page:

"Love."

Create the New Year ----intentionally!

You may not know this, but New Year's is my FAVORITE holiday. I know it is crazy, but I love it! The new energy that pours forth is like a blanket of fresh fallen snow...It is a fresh beginning.

I like endings and new beginnings. When I was a teacher I often thought how blessed I was to get so many fresh starts each year. I saw the dynamics of how we often rest on our laurels when beginning something new and then dig holes for ourselves to get out of! I saw rescuers jumping into save those drowning in their poor choices. I saw the self-righteous who refused to bend and meet someone half-way. I watched those feeling overwhelmed by the circumstances they had created one to many times.

I saw the way people compensate for their short-coming. I saw the poor coping strategies many of us had developed. I watched how we are all capable of developing better strategies to deal w/ the situations that we create!

I saw how friends can turn-on one another...I saw the dedication of truly committed friends/family to one another. I saw support in motion....

I saw those that made each moment counted and followed through consistently on commitments. I saw the stress of those choices and the rewards.

I saw myself in each person, in each scenario, in each choice.

All I know for myself....the energy is like a fresh snow----the question is, "What will you do with it?" It is your choice!

I say---Don't walk---RUN! PLAY! Do what you love! We only have one chance! Take yours this new year!

You, the Psychic Connection

You, The Psychic Connection


Do you want a program to help you expand your awareness of the angelic realm and connect with your intuition and imagination? Would you love to discover your own connection with your soul?

During this 13-week teleconference course you will learn to open up your own 6th sense and live in the world differently! We are at a time in our own unfolding in humanity...Being able to rely more fully on your on guidance is imperative to charting your way through the coming earth changes. When you trust your own intuition you live in the world differently. There is less fear and more trust!

I have been guided to offer this course to support you in opening up your own psychic channels which may include: clairaudience, clairvoyance, telepathy and precognition.

Your psychic gifts are gifts of your soul! We all have them! These beautiful gifts allow you to connect with the divine! As you connect to your gifts you will experience more light, more peace, more love. As you begin to experience life differently you will have a greater understand about life.

Together we will play with a variety of tools that will allow you to open up your gifts! This is NOT serious work, but a fun exploration of your gifts. You will need to commit about 30 minutes a day to this class during the 13-weeks! I encourage you to encourage a friend to join you as a support buddy during this class! (This is not a requirement and should not deter you! But learning with a friend enhances the process! Of course we will ALL be friends in the class!)

Here is what some previous clients have said:

Thank you for the Intuition Workshop that you offered in November. The benefits to me have been immense. I have an understanding of reaching higher states of consciousness in learning about how the brain works. I really enjoyed using different Tarot decks to access higher knowledge about myself. I loved the Soul Cards and assuming the physical position in the card for greater insights about myself. I always feel that you teach how to live in the present moment; in finding the Sacredness and Beauty in each moment in our daily lives. After learning how to access my guides and Higher Self, I feel like I had been living in darkness up to that point and suddenly, I could see clearly! It has been a deeply Sacred Gift in my life to access, communicate with, and trust my intuition. I thank you so much!

Growing and changing and BECOMING more I AM....thoughts, patterns, emotions are all falling away....FOR THE GREATEST GOOD OF ALL, FOR THE GREATEST GOOD OF MANKIND, AND SO IT IS...AMEN.
-A Client


I am leaving behind my mind and learning to be in the here and now with more access to my soul and my heart.
-A Client


My false self is falling away, leaving me with my I AM presence. Why would it not feel more like Home, like peace and so familiar? Instead of , I think I am losing my ego. I freely release it and welcome that peace that surpasses all understanding.
