Can we make room for the new and welcome it with love?

"We need to turn to ourselves first in order to make room for the new and welcome those who come with love. As we open our arms to our own lives, we progress and develop. As we focus on not forgetting ourselves and staying balanced, our lives begin to shine."

The new year, the beginning of the month, or every Monday is a great opportunity to not forget ourselves, set new goals, and make personal beginnings. Evaluating these opportunities by setting achievable goals can be a nice start. Instead of setting one big and sole goal that will undermine your self-belief when it doesn't happen, it will make you feel safer to set smaller, routine goals that will increase your motivation as you see yourself achieving them, and if you can't achieve one, you can replace it with another.  

"It is possible to do this by dividing the year (into months or weeks, depending on the example) into four. For example, instead of setting a goal like 'I will learn to paint with oil paints this year,' it might be more effective to set specific goals such as 'I will learn to draw by March, learn about paints and their usage by June, and be able to combine both by September,' and by December, I will be able to paint with oil paints at an intermediate level."

"The reminders you will set for these four months will show you your current situation and make it easier for you to have a healthier process. Acting systematically and regularly checking in on yourself increases the reality of the goals you set for yourself and actually opens the way for you to determine what else you could do for situations that you thought about at the beginning of the year but didn't go exactly as you planned." 

Remind yourself at specific intervals."If you want to find a tool to help you, you can check out the website 'Future Me' where you can write a letter to your future self:" https://www.futureme.org/

"The importance of welcoming the new with love is as great as making room for the new." 

"For this reason, I want to talk about my grandmother, who left behind a huge love, inspired everyone who became a part of her life with her loving heart, in short, in other words, who passed through this world with the most love and left us exactly two years ago today." 

He/She was a person who loved Ananem very much. 

"He loved everything I knew and saw: the pine tree in his garden, the unburnt veils, the grapes on his vine, the cat in the street, the neighbor's child, me, us, the neighborhood... He beautified everything because he loved it so much. My grandmother taught me to love as well." 

The more we love, the more we exist; the more warmth of heart we feel, the more we are. 

"True love does not make a person lose themselves, it brings them back to themselves. In these early days of the new year, I hope to make room in my life for a love as immense as that, and to reflect it freely."

"Because love conquers everything, including death." 

"The people with whom you share true love never leave your life; you can always feel them and their support."
