The new year is upon us and I think about New Year's resolutions but know they will probably never formulate into reality. It can be discouraging to realize how many times I have failed at improvement! I then wonder if it is just too late to change anything about me... I am just pretty much who I am at this stage of my life. Even though I cannot always live up to my own expectations, I do like to read inspirations which encourage me to be better. I recently read a quote from Julie Ann Ford which I shared with my readers in my January Newsletter. There are a couple of thoughts from that quote that I have chosen to share with you.
Julie Anne states, "Learn to Love. Make commitments to what's important to you. Take risks for the things that truly matter. Remember love is not just something you feel, but the things you do. Give others the very best you have to offer, and leave the world a better place for what you have done and who you have been. Learn to live. Don't be afraid of growing, changing, or living your life. No matter where you go or what you do, the true joy of life lies in the journey---not the destination. Search for your purpose, seek out your passions, and do what you love. It's not how long you live, but how you choose to live the days you are given, so choose to make the most of every opportunity you receive."
So... to my loyal family, friends and readers, when making your New Years resolutions, think about what is important to you, what makes you happy, what inspires you, and think of what you want your journey to look like. God bless and Happy New Year.
