A New Year, But The Same You??

I was actually at work on the last day of the year, and as I spoke to several individuals, they couldn't wait for the new year to come, many complained of the woes they had in 2012, and a couple others expressed their expectations in the coming year. However what really beat my imagination was the way most individuals seemed to believe that with the coming of the new year, their problems will suddenly/magically come to an abrupt end. But the reality of it all is that, Nothing changes with a new year, but with a new attitude there is always a new beginning...The years don't come with good or bad tidings by default but its what we put into that the year that the harvest brings back to us. We are talking about investments that last. Be it in a career/ministry/relationship/fiances/health etc. Because at the end of the day when we take stock of our lives and especially the time gone by, the only thing we remember and regret continually, is what we didn't do, or what we could have done better. So today what decisions are you making to ensure you make the most of the year? Remember don't make a permanent decision, based on a temporary situation and please don't go hard on those resolutions cause you know what? by the 3rd day you will be back to status quo. We seem to run with the acceptable norm and join everyone in making resolutions, but how far have we come/what has been achieved with all the resolutions? Take baby steps as well as daily steps to bring about a lasting change. We all want to make big impacts but the reality is, to make a lasting impact start with a life! Yes! And start with your life, the significance your life will have on the people around you is incomprehensible. Never ever doubt the value of your own significance, because you are here for a reason. If there is a decision, we all must make, it is the decision to be the best at what we do. Regardless of what we do, who we do it for, who gets the credit, who sees us and all the done with the right motives. In all, do remember that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, but time and chance happen to them all. If God does not bless a mans labour, there is little he can ever achieve. Key focus, lets return to the ONE who was before us, is now and already in the future, and attain the wisdom we need to gain fulfillment. Have a fulfilled year.
