Finish line in sight, we set big audacious goals. There’s clarity – we know why we want this. There’s a plan. There’s accountability. There’s action. But then… distractions. Oops, we missed a day. Disappointment shows up with very unflattering things to say.
Our choices:

Why is it that we often save our best hopes and dreams for Someday? Someday gets pushed aside in favor of today. Tomorrow teases us with possibilities but once we arrive – suddenly Today takes over one more time.

Every adventure has a day one – that moment when you know your life is about to change. I’m talking about the adventures we plan, the ones that begin to take shape in our mind. At first it may simply be a hint of an idea – of an outcome – of a destination. Inside, joy, expectation and perhaps a bit of fear begin to bubble up. Ideas come and go as the adventure gains more clarity and purpose. Change is on the horizon and there’s a voice inside that clamors, “Bring it!”

New day and new year, today I begin again. Beginnings are my specialty. I love the magic of uncharted territories – the hope that fuels a fresh new start. Even as a child I could hardly wait for the first day of school. With my fresh untouched school supplies I looked forward to an unpredictable school year.
Carried into adult life, I approach life in the same way. Monday mornings are my opportunity to do-over, do-better or do-differently. For each new month and now a new year, I set goals. I’m confident that “this time I’ll succeed.”
