Happy Monday everyone and welcome to the final week of 2009!
How grateful we all must be for that. A very tumultuous year it was, filled with famous people passing on, icons and legends, scandals galore, a new president and a very active media.
Being from Pittsburgh it also meant a couple of parades for the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Pittsburgh Steelers both won the trophy in their own league crowing them at least for this year the very best.
So what about this year for you? Good or bad? What would you make better next year?
One thing that happened this year for me was the launch of my project at Make ME Smile Online (where the ME is really all about you). March 18 to be exact and April 5th 2009 on Gather. The project has been very satisfying for me and although it is still in its infancy well if I help just one in some small way I feel that I have succeeded. Membership is free and more to come in 2010 so why not pay me a visit at www dot make me smile online dot com.
So yesterday I spoke of resolve as in what do you resolve to change in 2010.
What plans are you preparing now so that they are clear and you can not and will not break them.
Think of this way when we decide to do something we do it. Driving to work we decide that we have to go and we do. We can decide not to go of course but that is another story.
Resolve to make a difference this year. First for yourself, and then for others. Share that smile with yourself first thing in the morning. Give yourself that self talk pep talk and let your self know that you are meant to succeed today. Right now, today is the best day for you to start this. Not Jan 1, 2010 today December 28, 2009.
Next resolve to take time every morning to pray, I know some of you may do this already but pray to give thanks, pray for what God has provided you, the snow, the sun, the ability to understand and discernment. Pray not for things because in away you already have access to things. We are all free will, free choice agents in life. We lack for nothing, we are the music makers, we are the dreamers to take a line from Willy Wonka. We have the ability to do anything we put our focus and drive too.
Next resolve to give thanks and start a gratitude journal each day for like 5 minutes take the time for yourself to write down 3 things you are grateful for and why. Take time to focus on this simple task. Gratitude is perhaps the one single thing this world lacks. If every child was raised with the simple education of gratitude and compassion we would wipe out hatred, bigotry and selfishness.
Resolve and commit to planing out your 2010 right now. Take action right now. Make a difference right now. You can and if your tired of getting the same result you have been getting in your life, or you just feel things can become better then try it. Your worth it.
You were designed for greatness. What separates you from anyone who has accomplished success. A plan, yeah and effort you bet. Knowledge? Yeah ok I will give you that but if you think knowledge from failure just going out and doing it with a plan and not giving up if you fail that is the knowledge most have gained.
How many times did Abraham Lincoln fail? Look it up.
How many times did Edison fail with the light bulb? Google that one.
How many times did you son or daughter tumble before they learned to walk?
Did you ever say hey thats it don't take another step we have tried that before. See what happens you fall lets try something different now. No, with a little laugh you didn't so why should you quit if you fail at something.
Make a change! Share a smile! Live with purpose! Resolve that today will be a great day for you. Make yourself a little bit better this year.
Till next time, take the time to smile and have a great week!
