Picture this. You are at a bustling New Year's Eve party. The room is a glow with twinkling

lights. Laughter fills the air and there's this electric buzz of excitement as the countdown to the

New Year begins. In the middle of all of this celebration, you find yourself taking a step out onto the balcony,

gazing up at the starlit sky.

So peaceful here, away from the noise, right?

The cool night air, it's just brushing against your face, and you just take take a deep breath and you feel a sense of calm

amidst the chaos.

And it's in this quiet moment that a thought comes to mind.

What is it that you truly want for the upcoming year?

It's a question that seems simple, but beneath the skin, it's pretty

complex. In the past, our New Year's discussions, they've revolved around embracing ourselves

and the concept of living freely, right, removing

the shackles of resolutions.

And this year, however, I want us to venture down a path a little differently, one

that's not really taken that much, for New Year's resolutions but I want

to explore the heart of our desires finding what actually resonates within ourselves

the heart of our desire a lot of times we express a desire for happiness,

and like it's a goal or a destination.

I just want to be happy.

And it's so elusive, so without reach.

But if you think about it,

happiness can be like the surface of the ocean, right?
