What will your 2023 be?

A new year......new challenges.  Tradition has always been when the

old year is discarded and the new year is ushered in, that a person

takes a serious look at what is ahead for one self.  But those

resolutions that one makes are usually only half-baked in reality,

more often based on hope than a self proclaimed assurance that

those choices can and will succeed.



Those that make those resolutions for a new year suggest the

following;

1. resolve to accomplish a small goal or set of goals as opposed

to reaching for the 'pie in the sky'....failure only brings about

disappointment and can harm the ego.

2. reward yourself when you make one of those goals a success.

3. possibly making a resolution that will be part of an overall

five or ten year plan to make a change in your life; job, relationship,

financial situation.

4.  Maybe the most important of all, surround yourself with those

that will have good influence on you...not people who will bring you

down into their negativism..


Believe in YOURSELF; that's the most important aspect of the whole

deal. As Les Crane said in a song Desiderata many years ago...

"You are a child of the universe... you have a right to be here."

Simple, plain, straight forward. 

So, embrace 2023 with vision, clarity and hope. Remember,

2023 won't influence you....you will influence it!  SS
