JJANUARY 2024
Dear Reader,
Once again, a year has ended and a new chapter of our lives has begun with the dawn of 2024.
The human spirit surfaced in the many highs and lows witnessed in the last year. While violence, major accidents, wars, and natural calamities bloodied the human landscape, many staggering achievements too, of colossal scale, swelled up our hearts with pride. India’s successful Chandrayaan-3 mission, huge haul at the Asian games, grand hosting of the G-20 summit and passing of the women’s reservation bill in the Parliament were landslide moments that will be etched in history. But the most unforgettable one was the rescue of 41 workers trapped inside a tunnel in Uttarkashi. The operation had all the elements of a nail-biting Bollywood thriller, with emotion, drama, despair, and hope thrown in, in good measure. Humanity came together and forgot its differences of caste, religion, and region as citizens watched with bated breath and prayed together for the well-being and speedy rescue of the men trapped inside. It showed what the collective power of attention, effort, and intention can achieve if put to positive use.
Life Positive too, with years of being in print, has been trying to do the same. To tell the world that it is possible to create a paradise on earth by healing ourselves, sending and sharing positive thoughts and feelings, and applying the spiritual and universal law of ONENESS in our lives.
The human will is a formidable force. When it is channelled constructively, it can move mountains and surmount the greatest of odds.
There is no better way to facilitate this blossoming of positive willpower than to connect with our inner Divine. Communing with it gives us clarity of thought, values, and a purpose, without affecting our individuality. So, set that alarm clock, wake up before sunrise,
and meditate on your inner guru to get the right guidance on how to navigate 2024, which might bring many unexpected and unforeseen surprises, both good and bad.
Signng off. Have a happy January!
