Each January 1st people across the world have their minds set on new beginnings. The beginning of the new year with all its opportunities; the beginning of a new diet or healthier life style; the beginning of a new attitude, hobby, interest, inspiration. While I applaud those ideals, I think we often get roped into believing that with a resolution there is an “end game.” Life is not an end game but rather a process in which we evolve.
With a resolution we assume that when we have accomplished our goal that we are then done. Rather, I encourage you to have goals which once met are just the first step in an ever changing process of becoming the best person you can be. It takes the pressure off of assuming we have to get to the end result when we are ever changing, whether with baby steps or great leaps.
This year I am trying something new. I have identified an area of focus for myself with each month. January-health; February-creativity; March-relaxation (going on a vacation it seemed appropriate!); and so on. Again no reference to resolutions, merely focuses that will become a priority.
May your path be every evolving as you create your life along the way…
