The past three New Year's blogs have been challenges for us to be better individuals, by making intentional efforts to change our behaviors:
2015...No Excuses, Just Results - Refuse Negativity!
.....I've learned that when you make up your mind to do something good, you tend to meet unprovoked resistance from external forces. But you have to be persistent and press forward. In the meantime, go on living...
2014...Pursuit of Excellence! Try & Try Again!
.....Not all change is bad and not everyone will agree with your decisions. I've lost good friends, changed churches, gotten married and changed positions at work, to name a few. Some of these changes have been uncomfortable, but there has been remarkable growth as a result.
"Change is inevitable; Growth is optional..."
- John C. Maxwell
2013...Focus Shift - It's Not All About You!
....I learned that when you make another person or people your focus, you get stretched. God has to pull you outside of your comfort zone in order to accomplish His will. But the gain completely outweighs the pain.
What have you learned over the past few years? Hopefully you can take the lessons learned and grow from them, so that you don't have to repeat the cycle. Let 2016 be a year for continued progress and not do-overs.
May you be God centered this year, forward thinking and forward moving....
Amen! I've learned that if I'm going to look back, look to see how far God has brought me in order to keep going. This is just one lesson; many more have happened as well.
ReplyDeleteMost importantly, always focus on God & His ability to do all things.
Blessings!
