It's here isn't it? The time of year when reality hits us that another 365 days have come and gone...just like that. All the promises and resolutions we stated that we'd begin or either end. Now we're looking at the end of another episode of 365 concluding and many of us are no further along than we were at the beginning of this year.
For some of us we can even say that nothing has changed in the 365 days of hauling butt to succeed in our endeavors and for all our hard work what do we have to show for it?
We have the knowledge that we succeeded in trying. Yes! We worked hard in our attempts to make the grade, to make the connections, to market ourselves as the professionals/experts of industry, to believe even in the face of dismal outlooks, disturbing situations and even daunting challenges. We tried at something rather than sitting and complaining about nothing!
We all had to learn some pretty hard lessons this year. We had to learn that everyone that says, "They're for us," really aren't. We had to learn that family members who love us (hopefully) but do not understand us or our quests and really couldn't be supportive is still on our Christmas lists (wink), and finally, that the tears we shed and the lone pep talks we gave ourselves actually worked...look, we made it to the end. And even though some of us have plans for 2011 that are quite different than our plans we had for 2010 due to the restructuring and reinventing that we have drafted over the past weeks - it is not because we are failures, we are winners!
We win because we're willing to try other means, other ideas, be creative will maintaining a sense of cautiousness moving still with optimism and faith that as we're blessed to be offered another 365, we will be further along and closer to our destinies as this conveyor belt of life moves us through yet another year.
Finally, in encouraging you to seek after those things that are pure and honest those things that will assist you in meeting your destinies wholeheartedly and unafraid. To live the lives you were meant to live by embracing humanity and doing your part uplifting humanity from the rungs of despair ensuring that my children and yours have a world to go into.
I wish to empower you to seek opportunities outside of the norm knowing inwardly that when you're in 'purpose' provision has already been made for you. Seek out the unknown (it may be in another country or another town), knock on doors that have been primarily closed to you for whatever reason(s). Ask, believe and move forward....and I shall see you at the end of another 365!!!
Merry Christmas dear friends! Endure a truly powerful New Year!
