New Year Resolutions!

We are now at the end of August. Yes! Can you believe it? Time really does fly. Remember how you felt towards the end of last year, especially December 31st?  The New Year always feels like a new beginning, a brand new start, to be a better you. You can smell the freshness in the air. You feel positive and somewhat confident that all the things you couldn't achieve last year because of time or circumstances, you can now. All of a sudden, you have a new burst of energy and zeal for life. Sometimes when you have had a rough year, a New Year symbolises hope for the future. An opportunity to leave past pains in the past and look forward.

So far, how has this year turned out for you? Did you write a New Years Resolution list? Are you sticking to it? Have you accomplished any goal you set out for yourself? Are you on your way to striking one off that list. How is it really going? 

Like most of you, I wrote an exhaustive list! What was on your list? To live more? To laugh more? To love more? To forgive more? To ask for forgiveness? To climb a mountain? To run a race? Get a job? To go on holiday? Go on a retreat?  To lose weight? Save money? Buy a house? Rent a house? To buy a holiday home or an investment home? Make a new friend? To invest in stocks and shares? Give to charity? Adopt a pet? Get engaged? Get married? Have a baby? Become an entrepreneur? Go back to school? Start a Professional course? Be kind to others? Quit smoking? Quit alcohol? Learn how to swim? Learn how to drive? Buy a car? Anything? 

Maybe you didn't write a list theoretically but there is something you know you have to work on. Well there is no better time than the present to get it cracking. Why wait? If you didn't start on it before, how about you start now? Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Work on each point one at a time. Remember, for those of you who did, you did it for a reason. You wrote it down as a gentle reminder for you to become a better person. As you do it, you will feel great about yourself and great about this world.

As you do this, please I urge you, never lose sight of your goal. Also remember to count your blessings as you go along. You are blessed more than you know.  Follow your dreams but still live in the moment and appreciate what is around you. Accept the challenges that will come your way because they will come. They will only make you stronger. You will learn a lot along the way. Don't give up. Be positive and remember, "all things are working for good".
