I found myself walking through Border's book store today. One of my favorite past times, getting lost in all the different worlds and imaginations. Looking at Cook books, travel books and wondering could I make that would I ever embark on that journey. At the beginning of this brand new year I'm hearing several different people begin to make New Year's Resolutions. Dieting, Exercising, Budgeting, Going back to school, Learning a new skill, or settling down. I hear the good intentions of different hearts and remember there was a time when I too would make a promise to myself. This year, like the last couple, I did not make a resolution, instead I planned on taking one day at a time as it was given to me. To many years of broken resolutions to often lead to broken hearts. New Year's are like new beginnings however,a chance to change a chance to leave the past behind and start fresh anew. I can list several things I would like to do with this new year. I however lack what I see in so many people. I see people breaking records, fulfilling dreams, living unafraid and there always seems to be one thing that pushes them, one thing that drives them to their victory. I can think of several things that would be my motivation. Jesus, my 6 nieces and nephews, my mom and yet Im afraid to set my goals to high. Afraid that 2009 will be like year's gone by, when I didn't stick with my diet, or exercise goal. When I dropped out of school or moved back home. Will this be the year I finally take guitar lessons, or finish the book I started writing in 2006. Will 2009 be the year I pull my self out of debt or lose 20 pounds. What will motivate me this year. What is it that motivates you? The quotes from the pictures shown. "Believe in yourself. You must do that which you think you cannot". by Eleanor Roosevelt and "Those that dare to venture experience the greatest rewards".
