Happy New Years! It is a time to make a new years resolution, or is it? New Years has always been a time to make a fresh start. Most people start off with the best of intentions with resolutions and how they are going to change the world around them.
They choose goals that they wish were true but don’t think about what it will take to make them a reality. These goals are quickly put aside once people see how much work they require on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. A common myth is it takes 21 days for a habit to be established.
In reality it depends upon how complex and how much of a change it requires. The process could take from 18 to 66 or more days. So, what is a person supposed to do?
I believe in God and I heard a series of questions that I am contemplating on and I hope you will do the same. Then on Friday I will talk about the steps I am taking to make what I want to accomplish a reality.
I hope you will follow me in this journey. The questions are -
1. What is the one thing you will do to increase your presence in God. In other words how is your soul?
2.What is the Most humanly impossible thing you will ask God to do this year. Who do you want to become?
3.What is the single biggest time waster in your life and what will you do about it this year. Pause and reflect on what has to change in your life?
4. For whose salvation will you pray for? God asks us to love others as we love ourselves, what are you going to do for others?
We all have deeply set rhythms and habits, some good and some not so good. I am pondering what my rhythms and habits are what needs to be changed.
I am still working on my course and I will keep you abreast as to how the process goes. If you want to participate in this process and join my first class please send me an email to www.bobchuckpatterson@yahoo.com
