A New Year – Now What?
Every year it seems as if we have to come up with resolutions … resolutions to exercise more, eat less, get a better job, you name it, someone has resolved to do it in the new year. But why? Why do we feel like we have to wait until the new year to start something different? Every day is an opportunity to try something new or get back to doing what you did before. There is no need to wait until a specific date to begin to change your life … start right now, right where you are.
For instance, I want to be a great writer and I keep saying, “oh, whenever I have the time to sit down and write, I will start writing.” But that time never comes and so I never start writing. It’s only taken me about 2 minutes to write this so far, and while it’s not prose on the level of Grisham or Bronte, it’s still writing. So, stop putting off for tomorrow what you can do today. Get out and walk, throw out the potato chips, or just start writing, and before you know it, your resolution becomes reality and you didn’t even have to wait until January 1 to start.
Let’s start today!
