Our journey to a bigger world begins with the power of self-discovery. As we delve deeper into our own being, we unearth our potential and the profound impact we can have on the world around us. This process also liberates us from the shackles of fear and doubt, empowering us to shape our own destinies.
It all starts with a simple question: Who are we, and what can we do to bring about positive change? This introspective journey can lead us to discover our unique abilities and how we can make a lasting impact on the lives of others and the communities we are part of.
As we celebrate the year of the water rabbit, according to the Chinese animal sign, we have a moment of introspection for our greatest rediscovery and restart of our lives.
The rabbit sign signifies springtime or rebirth, just as we would want to start a new world of living and experience.
The rabbit is a gentle animal that commands peace and harmony. Like us, we would want to avoid hostility and violence in our thoughts and intentions.
For me, the Lunar New Year is not just a cultural celebration, but a time for personal growth. It's when I do my yearly introspection, a great opportunity to make changes within ourselves, unblocking the path to peace and prosperity.

Celebrating Chinese New Year 2022: Desire and Destiny
What's your ultimate desire to get fulfilled? Is it wanting to be loved? Is it about maximizing your potential and performance? Is it about discovering your true self? Or is it about living your most extraordinary life?
Our deepest desires always come from our connection to our souls. Our soul's purpose makes us feel more alive, and we want to live what we're destined to be. To be who we are is when we ask the fundamentals of "Who am I?" and "What's my heart's desire?"
As we celebrate the Chinese New Year 2022, we also welcome the deepest desires of our hearts. When we have an open heart, we tend to be more loving, caring, compassionate, and altruistic, giving even a little of what we have and sharing the abundance we've received.
That's the critical message for this year's welcome of the Year of the Tiger. It's not only about being fierce and strong like a tiger but also about the soft quality of being dependable and altruistic. The transformative power of the Year of the Tiger fills us with hope and optimism.
As I celebrate the Chinese New Year each year, I spend some quiet time contemplating and reflecting on my soulful desires and destiny. This introspective process of reflection triggers some actions to fulfill my aspirations, making me feel contemplative and introspective.
In this year of the Water Tiger, everything might still be uncertain. But in this world of uncertainty, we can create our desired path and destined future. That's one thing we can be sure about.
We create our world and live it with our rules and policy. We make a bigger world where we can set our intentions and fulfill our missions. By setting intentions for personal growth, we can shape our ultimate destiny and desire a living legacy.
