The year 2012 will be full of opportunities and options you didn't have before. After all, you are living during the planet's most radical paradigm shift to date. This means that changes you and others began seeding long ago are now beginning to take form, one right after the other. Portions of the birthing process will be messy. Some dreams that you hold dear will stir anger in others holding different views. You will sometimes doubt that you can keep up with the dance of change. Other times it will feel like what you want is taking an eternity to materialize. The following are some tips for moving through this year in the highest possible way and benefiting fully from the year's opportunities.

Five Tips to Make the Most of 2012's Opportunities

Trust the timing. If ever there was a year to get in sync with divine timing, this is it. Don't doubt your ability to connect with divine timing. After all, this is a natural ability anyone can learn to master. Besides, your being alive now is proof that you as a soul timed things just right! To benefit most from this auspicious year, invite your higher wisdom to guide the timing of your actions and to highlight things needing quick action. For example: You learn about a social gathering and feel tired the evening you are to attend. Your intuition nudges you to go anyway, and in doing so, you meet someone visiting from out of town. This person, whom you likely would not have met otherwise, becomes a great friend and business associate. New doors open to you as a result, all because you paid attention to your inner voice and the timing of what to do and when.

Embrace change. Learn to make friends with change. You become disempowered when you fear change, passively resist change, or actively fight change. These responses to change will delay your progress, preventing you from fully shining your light. Accept that change is going to be all around you, affecting you and everyone you love. In recent years you have had a taste of what this means in practice. Now in 2012, with the massive upheaval taking place, you will want to be in your power as you move through changes. The power referred to here is divine power, not ego-based power. It is the power you access when you connect with your divine self and your heart. As you express your divine power in the midst of revolutionary changes, you set a positive example for others and you help to spark needed transformation in the world.
