Here we are already, the
first day of February.
Look back to 30 days
ago. We were at the beginning of a brand-new
year. We were full of resolutions. Maybe we were going to quit smoking. Perhaps we were going to lose weight. Maybe start school. Go to the gym. Start that
business. But have we really
accomplished anything? Or has the manana
syndrome overtaken us?
So with one 12th of the year
gone it's time to take inventory. And if
we did accomplish something, we need to pat ourselves on the back. But if we didn't accomplish anything what are
we going to do to change our behavior?
After all, no one’s coming to
rescue us from ourselves. If we want to
do something we need to take a risk and do it.
Michael Jordan said one of the reasons he succeeded in life was because
he'd failed "over and over and over" again.
We need to take that small risk
and do something different – even if we don’t succeed the first time. This is not a dress rehearsal for life. This
is our life. And if we waste our time
playing computer games and vegging out in front of the TV we’ve made a poor use
of our precious time.
Make it count!
