A New Year Begins

I love Sunrises. I love the way the darkness slowly falls away from the earth and the sun approaches like a shining yellow beacon from the east. It makes me feel like anything is possible. With the birth of each new day something wonderful can happen. It makes me feel like I can make something wonderful happen today. I just love the sunrise.

My biggest challenge for the rest of the day, after such an uplifting morning, is trying to keep my mind in that sunrise state of mind. We all deal with it, your child does something for the hundredth time that you have to fuss at them over. Your spouse, who did not have the benefit of your morning inspiration, snaps at you over nothing. You get some bad news or a bill you can't afford and your serenity is on the ropes.

That's what the new year feels like to me. Right now, a few days in, I can still feel the warm glow of that early morning sun on my face. Everything I want for my life and my family is right in front of me to claim.

I want more out of life this year, and what its going to take is determination, discipline, and consistency if I want this year to be better than the last. Sunrise may be turning into a bright new year, but as long as I keep my head free of negative ideas, keep my life free of negative people, and continue to strive for something better this year is going to be great.

Announcements: I have decided to work harder on the things that bring me the most joy and fulfillment. That means working harder and smarter on my business. Spending more quality time with my family. Taking better care of my health, and spending more time writing.

I want to thank anyone that has taken the time to read my words here and I hope that my journey will continue to interest you as the years roll on.

Happy New Year!
