Tomorrow is the day Americans give thanks for the blessings they’ve experienced in the past year. Change it up this year because it should also be thanks for the blessings that you know are going to come your way.
We don’t move forward by looking behind us, yet many people do this over and over. Even Thanksgiving is a day where we appreciate what we have already been given! If you keep focusing on where you’ve been, how will you use what you’ve learned to build a great future?
Take time to invest in all of your tomorrows and think about what makes you happy. Consider what “tools” you have used from your skills set when you are enjoying life the most. By honestly identifying and understanding your strengths, you can use every one of your gifts with courage and hope for an abundant future.
One of the gifts all humans have is the gift of hearing (even if it’s selectively used) - not just in the literal sense, but in perceptive ways, too. Listen so that that you hear what is not being said in the world. When we listen, we end up seeing where we fit just a little better in our communities.
The new year is approaching; this week’s articles on facts and revolution focus on preparations based on thinking, not guessing. Being honest with yourself will ensure you love what you do, even if you have to start building this new part of your life one small step at a time.
If you don’t take action, you won’t reach success. If you don’t take action, things remain impossible. If you don’t take action, you are endangering yourself to being just a follower.
- If you take action, you will be better tomorrow than you were yesterday.
- If you take action, you make decisions toward a brighter future.
- If you take action, your confidence will inspire others.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started *
