I hope these thoughts give you something to ponder while you enjoy your morning beverage. As you go about your day, I invite you to take some time to reflect on your observations. Consider if there’s anything you can do to enhance your life, such as looking into the mirror and appreciating yourself. You may also find a way to make the world more beautiful with a simple act of kindness, like holding the door open without expecting a thank you. You may also want to consider if you have a gift to share with the world. Perhaps you have some untapped talent you may regret wasting, as we sometimes do with unused towels or our good china. I hope you find them enjoyable and return for more tomorrow.
Resolutions
It is that time of year when many resolve to do better in the coming year.
Unfortunately, most of these resolutions are pushed aside almost as soon as they are set.
Sometimes, it is hard to remain steadfast in our determinations. However, we make these resolutions to better ourselves, our lives, and the lives of those around us.
Regrettably, we forget to consider these reasons as we turn our backs on our resolutions to improve.
Despite the momentary lapse in our determination, we can still follow through. Failure only occurs when we quit trying.
For example, if you decided to start working out and did not begin on the set date, you can still start tomorrow. Or perhaps you resolved to stop eating so much sugar, and you had a bad day and came home and ate every cookie in the house, so what? You can do better starting tomorrow.
We often fall off the pledges we have made to ourselves. However, we can still start again.
Our resolutions to ourselves and those in our lives are essential, and we should do everything we can to fulfill our pledge. Sometimes, that means starting again and again. The important thing is to avoid beating yourself up if you fail to follow through.
Today’s challenge:
When you push aside your resolution, give yourself a pep talk and remind yourself why you made this promise.
