The energy of the year is so active that to survive this year,
You actually need to become more yin.
So it will be like this wild galloping horse going somewhere,
And everything around you will feel like this horse that's impulsive,
That is rebellious,
That will do the unexpected kind of events,
Will throw you from one direction to the other,
And you won't really be able to stop this horse.
And if you take a very strong,
Forceful approach,
The horse will just throw you off.
And by the way,
The horse is on fire,
So it's going very,
Very quickly,
And it can throw you off very well,
And it's very hard to keep up with.
So what are we going to do this year?
We need to become grounded and yin.
So this year,
Rest more than you've ever rested.
You will win if you're not rebellious.
You will win if you don't try to be a hero and save society and stand out.
Because the energies are so active around you,
You'll have hero impulses.
And right back to me in a month or two,
You'll have like hero tendencies.
Raise your hand if you already have savior heroism tendencies.
A lot of the people drawn to my work tend to.
I myself have been working through mine for the last 10 years to limit them.
This is a really good year to limit them.
So don't focus on huge reforms in the outer world or activism,
Or although you'll be tempted to,
Write down now what's most important to you about this coming year and stick to that.
And it's the sticking to that that will be very,
Very,
Very important.
So if you've had your head in the clouds past years,
And you've kind of gotten away with it,
Buddhism is all about not living in illusions,
Not worshiping false idols.
If you have been living in illusion somewhat,
If you were a dreamer,
You more or less could get away with it in the year of the wood snake and the year of the wood dragon.
But the year of the fire horse is going to be raw and unforgiving if you are not grounded in reality.
So yin energy is the energy of the earth.
And you need to be that energy of the earth to counterbalance this wild energy of fire,
Which will try to swoop you up and get you to be like a chicken with its head cut off.
So other people will get burnt out this year because of this bright,
Rebellious energy that you can turn on to and become bright and rebellious.
You might get burnt out,
Other people might get burnt out,
But if you follow this advice,
You won't.
So it can be a year with a lot of anxiety,
A lot of exhaustion,
A lot of burnout.
Or it's a year where you stay very grounded to the three or four main intentions you have to your inner circle.
And then you'll go through the year,
And by July you'll have incredible results.
Because everyone else will be getting burnt out,
Everyone else will be off track,
And you'll be very much on track.
