Happy New Year!
"We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day." -Edith Lovejoy Pierce

I have done a lot of reading the past year and the most valued, inspirational, practical author I found was Robin Sharma.  I realize that unless I practice what he preaches, the time and the money I spent will be worthless.

So from his book…"Who Will Cry When I Die," I have chosen a few chapters to live by. All 101 in a year are kind of impossible!

As the New Year begins and the Old Year ends…Here I am going to make amends by:

Being kind to a stranger everyday
Learning to be silent
See my troubles as blessings
See my kids as gifts
Enjoying the path, not the reward
Stop condemning
See my day as my life
Stop complaining and start living
Stop worrying about things I cannot change

All the best to me! And to you! Happy New Year!
