Bullse...Some general thoughts (typed on my phone).<br /><br />Bullseye!!!! I like your blah blah blah since thats what many will spew out in terms of resolutions!<br /><br />Be the change that you want to be and act on those changes! Engage in your life. Live your dreams without fear or critism. <br /><br />Give back. Pay it forward! Be thankful. Be gracious. Clear your clutter. Rid your life of toxicity. <br /><br />Some people don't like change and they are afraid of others changing. Success and failure are not that different. If you fear failure you will never succeed! The number on the bathroom scale doesn't matter when you're dead! Money - you can't take it with you. There are no banks on the "other side"! Enjoy doing some good with it! Leave a legacy! <br /><br />Don't take your life for granted. Be humble. Accept and return love. We are all born with gifts. Don't squander yours. No matter what, never compromise your values. Be true to yourself but be discerning! Everyone's true nature will be revealed. There are no random acts. The universe or God is the mastermind here. Not us!<br /><br />Be honorable. We are all being judged by a greater power! Be kind and extend yourself and your resources to those in need! Fear is the other "f " word. Don't let it stop you from living a blessed life and helping others to realize their blessings or creating blessings for others! <br /><br />Believe in miracles. They are all around us. Happiness isn't about acquiring stuff. It’s about creating the circumstance that will enable us to be happy. <br /><br />Love is the only thing that can be given for free. <br /><br />And finally, make the most of the dash that separates your date of birth from your date of death. Life is an amazing gift. Believe in yourself even when others cannot see your value. <br /><br />We are all unique! Be passionate about inspiring change one small act at a time.<br /><br />Let your light shine because you are a wonderful soul.<br /><br />Veronica T.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1005196875375123554.post-82611000817596065572014-01-01T16:52:22.386-07:002014-01-01T16:52:22.386-07:00Thank you for your kindness, Lila.

I appreciate your specific action items and I will think about what opportunities they represent for me. Finally, I offer this attempt to paraphrase your exhortation, "If you would change your stuff, first change yourself."<br /><br />Grace and peace to you and yours!Doug Picirillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03581447386213753959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1005196875375123554.post-80582614651600294872014-01-01T15:40:15.227-07:002014-01-01T15:40:15.227-07:00Thanks for this passionate view on how to make rea...Thanks for this passionate view on how to make real 'resolutions' that drive lasting change, Harry! I think it's also uplifting to acknowledge what we are already doing well and have already accomplished. The marathon can be more rewarding if we see just how far we've already run. There's an old long distance method of carrying rocks for part of the way - then dropping those rocks at the latter part of the journey. It makes the rest of the way feel lighter just when the hiker was about to get too tired. Instead of feeling 'I can't go on' - he/she feels - 'I can do this now'. Whether it's 200 lbs of baggage from the past or a stressful job in the present - being your own driving force for change involves a lot of positive reinforcement along the way: carrying 'light crystals' in the form of 'look how far you've come' rather than the 'you're not doing enough / you're not enough' rocks. What you reminded me of today is to look back at 2013 with gratitude and a high five before looking forward to 2014. Easier to be audacious and daring when you feel accomplished already. Thanks for the insights and ideas - always illuminating :) Lila Z Rosehttp://www.lilazrose.comnoreply@blogger.com
