Preparation

We all like to set goals in our life. For some these goals are New Year’s resolutions. Every year we set these “resolutions” in an attempt to change our lives and become better in our lives. More often than none, many of these resolutions go out the window before February. So what then? We wait the entire year for another opportunity to try it again. But look how much we lose in that year? We could have easily been ten pounds lighter, so many classes closer to graduation, so much closer to owning that home, or getting that car, or being out of debt.
So why do we give up so easily? Because we get discouraged. Because we might bite off more than we can chew. Or because we believe that everything we want should come quickly and without struggle. Unfortunately, it’s not that easy. It took time for you to get to where you are. So it’ll take time to not only break that cycle, but also to began another journey.

What is so amazing is that everyone makes the resolution to have a year better than the last. But what about the preparation. Really, you should prepare a great year in order to have a great year. It’s in the preparation that we grow. It’s in the valley that we acquire the strength to climb the mountain.

So make this year your journey in preparation for what and who you want to be. Don’t give up. Day-by-day take baby steps to your goal. Sooner than you think, you’ll get there.
