See a moment. Take a moment. Give a moment.
A new year, a new decade dawns.
It's full of promise and potential.
And, if we let them, positive new habits can form, step by step, day by day.
Attention to even a few simple changes, fresh perspectives and repeated actions on the path to our goals can lead us to bigger, brighter, better results.
A fresh year unfolds.
You have a story to tell and show the world, just by who you are.
Here are others' thoughts on that thought, as well:
There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.
Maya Angelou
It takes a thousand voices to tell a single story.
Native American proverb
If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you end your story.
Orson Welles
"It ain't gonna change itself."
That line in a San Jose shop window referred to the seeming never-endingness of diapers, when your children are in that phase of life.
Yet, that thought applies to any type of change.
Changes can't just be wished into being. You have to help make them happen.
It takes rolling up your sleeves, getting busy, doing things that sometimes are not not now easy for you to do.
So for example, you may have to:
- Change a habit
- Take a class
- Practice a new skill and then practice again (and again and again…)
- Change the way you think or what you believe
- Change the way you spend your time, talent, energy, attention
You have to do your part for changes to be made.
What are a few changes you want to make?
What are the actions you must take for those changes to take shape?
