A new year has begun. It is a time of reboots and redefinitions in which we have the possibility to improve the quality of our life if we decide and act accordingly. What are we willing to do to live with success and well being and overcome mediocrity and self deception?
The cannon shot, the hugs and the traditional wave of euphoria have passed. Some were left on the accident or deceased list and others are preparing to move forward with renewed vigor and a willingness to do better than before. It follows the political carnival, the struggle, the threats and the confrontations, in a vision of government that retains much that is limiting and conflictive. However, the moment is different.
Nothing is the same today as yesterday and it is necessary to move forward, facing life, with the focus on improving, progressing, teaching ourselves well and achieving goals.
Let's take the energy from the beginning of the year and rethink important aspects of our life. Just as a car or a computer is maintained, our mind requires that we align our thoughts, that we verify intentions and see clearly the chosen paths, if we want to get the best out of what we call life experience. This is not the time to leave things to chance, it is a time for responsibility, clarity, challenges, improvement, leaving behind blame, resentment and revenge.
It is clear that we will not end with a stroke or a wish, the psychological dependence of all, the ease, the laziness, the irresponsibility. We will not end in three months with increasing school dropouts, alcohol consumption, dozens of homicides, domestic violence, early pregnancies, teenage drug addiction, paternal abuse, religious fanaticism. However, little by little much is done, if there is a personal desire to improve and many share and act.
Now is a good time to turn off the cell phone, laptop, radio, television, take a pencil and paper, and spend some time rethinking goals and directions.
What do I want to do with my life? What can I plan for this year that has just begun? What are my priorities? What things will facilitate my achievements? Which ones could prevent them? Of all that I have proposed, what am I really willing or willing to do?
It is a good time to define how we want to be for this date next year, to define the ideal state that we want to reach at that time. We must lose the fear of imagining life as something beautiful, wonderful and livable. That life begins in the mind of each person. The truth all this is about a reality that we build at every moment between all of us, including you. Your change influences my path and my change in yours. We are a team, so if your change is positive, ours will be too.
What you want to achieve, write it down, affirm it verbally, visualize it in your mind and begin to act in a conscious, confident, responsible, tenacious and patient way. It is important that you strive not to intentionally harm others to get what you want or need. And never forget that God has the last word.
We are powerful, capable, valuable beings, full of latent opportunities, that we ignore a thousand times because we have dedicated ourselves to following routines to repeat unproductive behaviors. We have adhered to values that are not ours, if not those of parents, friends, bosses. Now we have in our hands the option to make new and better decisions that reflect an adult sense, autonomous and independent, that overcomes excuses and self destructive tendencies.
