What To Do With The New

Another year is here and off we go! It’s like the starter pistol has fired and the race has begun. Maybe we have planned for what we want this year to look like, or we are tired of planning because those plans get crushed by life’s impromptu surprises. It is not fun to be blindsided.

Whatever the case may be, we are hit with new once again. Well, my encouragement to you is not a list of recommendations of which diet to start or what goal setting tools to use. It’s not what to invest in or who to spend time with. Nor is it what to expect or suggested to-dos. It is simply this.

Everyday is a new start. So what, that in a few days from now you are already behind on your resolutions. That does not mean that January 4th, sometime in February, or even April can’t be your January! Even in October or November, when it really hits us that we didn’t even crush half of our goals, we can choose to celebrate that evening that tomorrow is a fresh start.

Who made the rules, huh? Who said that January 1st is the only day to begin anew? No longer do we have to wait for the new year to get started again. When we feel like we have failed or that life cannot get any better, take a cue from Poppy and get back up again!

Hey! Let’s go all out! Don’t let a little hiccup knock us out. Pop a bottle of champagne and celebrate like it’s New Year’s Eve! Tomorrow morning, we get a blank canvas. We have an open book. We get to rip the wrapping paper off and experience what this new season has in store for us.

As INgagers, we must continue to see things from different perspectives. We are growing daily, and this is no different. I encourage you to see everyday as a blessing of newness. Whether yesterday was an utter failure or overwhelming success, today has many new possibilities.

Like Poppy, to get back up again, it helps if we have supportive people around. Let us know if you need help with that!

Until next time…
