“Start wherever you are and start small.” ~ Rita Baily
I love the concept of New Year’s Day as much as anyone else. It is worth celebrating – for me it is a time of reflection about the past year and celebrating my personal growth and the miracles I’ve experienced during the past year. And yes, every year there are definitely miracles. It’s just a question of recognizing them.
The one thing I don’t do, and haven’t done for years, is treat New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day as the alpha and the omega of the whole year. I don’t believe in making idealistic resolutions on a designated day and treading on eggshells in hopes of keeping them. Having goals and dreams is necessary, especially for women – often we’re so busy multi-tasking, that we forget about the bigger picture, so I feel that we need the reminder of where we’re going and what we hope to accomplish. So the solution is to treat New Year’s Day with the same respect as you treat any other day and vice versa. It is every moment of every day that is important. Starting over can be done on any day and at any time. And the definition of starting over is simply to make a decision, take action on it and stick with it, one moment at a time. Happy New Year to you! Make 2012 (every day of this year) count for you!
