Happy New Year to you all, and to your loved ones. I hope that the upcoming year is filled with Peace, Joy, Purpose and Fulfillment.
Many of you may be staring 2016 like every other year: making a New Year’s Resolution.
New Year’s Resolutions don’t work for me. In the past they were about all the normal things, workout more, lose weight and things like that. The only one that I have ever kept was the resolution not to make any more resolutions. If making resolutions works better for you than it has for me than by all means, more power to you.
For me, they were too small and too focused. I saw on the news recently that often times resolutions work against you and people end up not just not keeping them but actually doing worse at what they had hoped to accomplish.
New Year Challenge
I am challenging you to go deeper this New Year. Make it a year of discovery of who you are and more importantly who you want to be. That may include physical goals but I hope that with them are goals that impact your emotions and your purpose. We are more than just physical. The reflection we face in the mirror each day should say more to us than confirm whether we are having a bad hair day. We see ourselves worrying about our relationships, finances, families and jobs. We see looking back at us a person with flaws, personal failings and unresolved dreams. We all too often turn from that vision hoping maybe we can face ourselves tomorrow and discover a different person.
Each passing year slaps us in the face with the fact that our lives are passing. Wouldn’t it be great if a year from now you look in that mirror and smile at the whole person who is smiling back at you.
Be resolved to make this coming year one that you look back on with a sense of marvel at the transformation that has taken place in your life.
