Well, another year has passed. Sometimes it was good, sometimes it was bad. Whatever it WAS, it is fast becoming a thing of the past. Now it is time to look forward, and speculate and plan on the new year. You could say that the new year is a new beginning. Life starts today.
I have thought long and hard about what I could do in the new year that would enrich myself and my family, bring about some happiness, and maybe make this old world a little better place to be in. I don’t really care about making more money, increasing business, or taking better care of myself. I feel that those things should be practiced on a regular basis, and should not be reserved for a new year resolution that will probably be broken anyway.
So, after careful thought, I have decided that I am going to do everything in my power to give back more than I take from this world. Brighten someone’s life, make a smile appear, cheer up someone who is down, and help whenever and however I can. Maybe, just maybe I can make a difference in someone ELSE’S life, and that act alone will enrich mine more than you could ever know.
What are YOUR resolutions?
