Happy New Year! I pray that you and your family are blessed in 2018. And I pray that your year is magnificent. Not mediocre. Not just okay. Not just a little bit happy, but I pray that your year is the happiest, most blessed year you can ever imagine!
Look at today, January 1st, as if it is a large, blank book. Because it is. It’s a large, blank book that you get to write in and tell your story, tell your journey. It’s a book in which you get to dream, to plan and to execute plans.
We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day. ~Edith Lovejoy Pierce
Isn’t it great to know that no one holds the pen of your life except you? Only you get to write your life story. And if anyone else ever tries to write a piece of your story, you grab that pen away from them really, really fast! Because they don’t know your story. They don’t know what you want the first page to say, they don’t know what you want the middle to say and they don’t know the ending you are going to write. Only you know these words, theses chapters, this book.
The key is to seeing the opportunity that lies before you. Try as hard as you can to let 2017 stay in the past and try as hard as you can to see 2018 as 365 days worth of opportunities. Opportunities for your personal life and your professional/career/work life. You have no limits. There is nothing that you and God cannot accomplish together. Absolutely nothing.
You may be thinking that you need to absolutely start over, but you’re too old, you’re too “settled”, you’re too something to do it. But you’re not. It is never too late to start over. It is never too late to start writing a story that you love and that you are proud of. There’s a quote that goes something like this… “One day you’ll look back at your story…make sure you write a good one”.
If you aren’t writing a good story or one you can be proud of, start over. If you aren’t exploring opportunities open to you, start exploring them. If you aren’t in charge of your own story, take ownership of the pen. If you aren’t happy with where you are in your “book”, today is the day you can tear up those pages, and start a new, blank, 365-page book that you can be proud of!
Sending you blessings of love and gratitude from Sterrett, Alabama!
