New Years Resolutions

So now is the time where we all say we are going resolve to doing something different than we did last year, we are going to change something. While this is good, most of us forget about resolutions by February.

So instead of wasting our time I thought I'd try to help by posting something that I found this morning. Hopefully this will inspire you to not just change a lifestyle or habit but to change your attitude, mind set, thus leading to tranforming your lifestyle/habit.

  • JUST FOR TODAY: I will live through this day only. I will not brood about yesterday or obsess about tomorrow. I will not set far-reaching goals or try to overcome all of my problems at once.
  • JUST FOR TODAY: I will be happy. I will not dwell on thoughts that depress me. If my mind fills with clouds, I will chase them away and fill it with sunshine.
  • JUST FOR TODAY: I will accept what is. I will face reality. I will correct those things I can correct, and accept those I cannot.
  • JUST FOR TODAY: I will improve my mind. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration. I will not be a mental loafer.
  • JUST FOR TODAY: I will make a conscious effort to be agreeable. I will be kind and courteous to those who cross my path, and I'll not speak ill of others. I will improve my appearance, speak softly, and not interrupt when someone else is talking.
  • JUST FOR TODAY: I will refrain from improving anybody but myself.
  • JUST FOR TODAY: I will gather the courage to do what is right and take responsibility for my own actions.

Hopefully this inspires you as much as it inspired me.

This is really good stuff that I know I need to hear. It is hard not to get bogged down by stuff we plan and goals we set. The world expects us to have and set goals. If we dont set goals we are lazy and a failure. Sometimes I get so caught up in the fact that I am still in the same place, the same type of job that I hate, the same place relationally (alone). The world expects big things and so I forget to see the little leaps and bounds I have made. I applied to go back to school to eventually, God willing, get my Masters in Counseling, and I am finally at a place that I am truly at peace or at least ok with not having a guy in my life.
Thanks for being a beautiful and wonderful friend.
