So be honest, have you made new resolutions this year? To be more patient, quit smoking, lose weight, or call your mom more? Didn't you do the same thing last year and the year before that? Let me guess how well it worked out for ya. What makes January 1st different that any other day in our lives? I came to the conclusion years ago that the first day of a new "calender" year has to be the unluckiest day to make new promises to yourself. I do not know of one person who has stuck with a New Years Resolution for any reasonable amount of time. January seems easy, February starts getting a little tougher, and by March you have forgotten what it was you resolved to do. I don't claim to have the answers for changing the things in our life that we need to, but I do know which day to NOT choose to start said changes. January 1st is just another day, no better or no worse than the ones before it or after. The change has to come in our hearts first, regardless of what day it happens to be, and only then will it have a chance of succeeding. You don't plant seeds of fruit before the soil is ready because the seeds will die before they have a chance to grow, so why plants seeds of change before our hearts and minds are ready?
Whichever day you choose, I wish you the best of luck. Really, I do.
Regards,
CJ
