Starting Fresh & Staying Fresh

We have both feet planted now in the New Year. No doubt there have been many thoughts of doing things in a fresh way. I want to encourage you to hang on to that type of thinking. Don't allow a few days, which will soon turn into a few weeks, steal that fresh zeal to make a strong change. If you have re-evaluated how you have been spending your time, stick to your plan of change. If you have thought about taking better care of your health and fitness, don't let the fact that some sort of miraculous difference is not already evident make you forsake those goals. If you are dedicating yourself to spiritual growth, stay with it. Get the vision of your future self firmly entrenched in your mind. Make it your mission to see that new self develop step by step. Keep adjusting your activities so that daily action lines up with what you need to happen. We are so spoiled in this day and age with speed. We want everything to occur instantaneously and that is just not how life works. Don't forget the strong lesson from the turtle and the rabbit engaging in contest. Slow and steady wins the race. Have a great day sticking with it!
