Day 15: Make the Decision To Be A Better You
Dreams of having the right career, nice
home, a perfect mate, or just a slightly better life, it all begins with one
step: the personal and mental decision to become better. New Years resolutions are always a great but
what value do they have if you don’t truly focus and act on them? Eric Thomas, a well-known motivation speaker
and Professor at Michigan State University, was homeless and decided to break
the cycle and be a better person for himself and his family. Helen Keller didn’t let going deaf and blind
prevent her from achieving her goals, which help create brail for many that
followed. Michael Jordan didn’t let
being cut from his high school basketball team prevent him from achieving his
dreams.
We all start off with a nice drive to
be better, but the few will keep focused, keep trying and keep getting up to
try again until they arrive. This year, be
married to your resolutions or goals. Make few of them so you can keep focused (3-5 max). Write why you want to achieve those goals, and read them daily. Additionally, surround yourself with people who will help you achieve those goals. No one said you had to do it all yourself. Moreover, when you are down, they can pick you up as you can for them. This is one of the most significant things you can do because becoming distracted is easier than you think.
My
favorite quote is: In order to be successful, you must at any moment, sacrifice
what you are for what you will become.” You
should live by this and do what it takes to get to where you want to go. There will be bumps in the road, but no
destination is worth going to without the journey.
Ask yourself this: How long will you
live or have you lived before you discover what you have got? What your
potential is? Answer those questions
this year and FINALLY start down the path of change and success in your
life! The training wheels of high school and college are off, so keep focused on your resolutions, So Happy New Year and all the
best.
