The Year Is Far Spent


Happy new year. Well, this is a rude awakening—an odd calling. It's mid-January and I'm wishing a new year; Like the anonymous Chinese that suggests that one should carry an umbrella even when the sky is clear, I'm simply doing my thing even if it's different.
 


As years go by and by, we are often wired with the tradition of setting resolutions, goals, and other checklists. Now it's mid-month, how far have we gone?


If every one of us reviews his or her past resolutions and goals, we would realize that if we had honestly followed them, then today we would be telling a more exciting and different story. However, here we are today and yes, we’ve got our alibis for the chances we didn't take or inaction. 


Dear Friend, it's mid-month and this year won't be any different from the previous ones if we are not. Days keep on counting and if nothing changes in us, if we are not wired to achieving our goals, then nothing changes.  It's that simple. 


Going a bit further, what usually makes us drift away from our goals is most probably the better opportunities, skills, or options we spot. Maybe the great opportunity doesn't work our  way, we seek another and another till eventually, the initial goals vanish off our mind. 


So let's check this analogy on  how we can fix this. If we want to cook a delicious meal, we go about buying the recipe and preparing it because we are certain the heat the stove or cooker gives is sufficient to get it done. So, if we could just place our beliefs on something sure and unwavering, even if we are rough around the edges, we can be sure that we would be triumphant. Then, Reader, I am suggesting that you should center your life, decisions, beliefs, and hope on something sure. 


I believe the Creator of my life knows enough information about life than I do. So, I believe it's wise to cast my worries, thoughts, opinions and cares on Him. And His assurance keeps me going. And it will keep you going too. You don't need many resolutions—the solution is right there with you in a few spoken words away...
