January 2022
A New Year. A new start. New Year’s resolutions?
It seems as though we are continually asking for another chance and making promises to ourselves and others, that we don’t always keep. Why do we do it every year, with the same result?
As always, we have a choice. Perhaps we set ourselves up for failure. How would it be to just be honest with ourselves and realistic. Where are we now…really? About what are we dissatisfied? What do we want to change? What is so different about 1st January?
Being realistic is about how willing we are to change. Do we have the real desire, the courage, the capacity, to change? Then, no matter what the date, let’s start today. Now!
It is often said that life is a journey. On this journey, we can grow if we want to. Growth is progressive and ideally, continuous. There may be pauses, interruptions and diversions along the way. That’s OK. That’s life!
Sometimes we need to pause on this journey. Often events make us stop for a while. Take the time to look back and see how far you've come. Look forward with a new perspective. Life is not a race. Just keep taking the next step forward and you will arrive where you are meant to be at any moment, to enjoy the experience of life with all that it has to offer, not just at New Year, but to eternity!
