New Beginnings...

“Whether you think you can or think you can’t… you’re right!” ~ Henry Ford ~

It’s a brand new day… time to turn the page. A time for reflection and new beginnings. Flipping the calendar in December as a wee lad never seemed like a big deal. With 365 days in the year, why should one day be any different than the next?

As I’ve gotten older though, I’ve changed my mind. Perhaps this is an older & wiser realization.

A new year is a big deal. Whether you had a fabulous or lousy year is is now history. You can reflect on the highlights and discard the bad. It’s time to set new goals and come out swinging. If you aren’t the type to write down what you would like to accomplish, give it a try this year. Your notes will then be a gentle reminder to stay focused on the end objective(s). With a fresh new twelve months ahead of you, there’s no reason you can’t hit your bogeys and make some life altering changes.

As for my goals? One in particular I’d like to improve upon is staying in the moment. We’re all guilty of thinking of all the things we have to day later in the day, tomorrow or next week. However, every minute we’re afforded with family & friends should be cherished - after all, time is our most limited & valuable commodity and and should be used wisely.

Let’s get started!

Let’s make 2019 a year to remember.

Cheers…
