How new are you

http://www.ijourney.org/index.php?tid=713


An interesting article I found..below are some excerpts from it. Guess sometimes making a new start is easier said than done. And when I read this, a silent "yes" I want to live different. I want to live full. I want to live both on the outside and inside. 


- Making a new start isn’t starting ‘again.’ There’s no ‘again’ about it. New is new.
 - “Change involves carrying out an activity against the habits of life.” 
- I’m hard put to find words to describe this active work of renewal, so I’ll try to recount the experience itself. First, there’s the moment of truth: I’ve connected with my life on a deeper level than before. Then there’s the vision awakened by the experience. 

- clarity fades away like a receding tide as old habits of thought and feeling come flooding back in. this is how i been feeling...

- I call my new way to work with it “planting seeds of change.” Every time I wake up to the Old, I find some way to plant a seed of New, even if there’s little else I can do against the force of habit. 
 But I decide to trust that planting new seeds into the old way of doing things will say ‘yes’ to the deep wish to live differently.
