Well, it’s the beginning of a new year and this is the time when most of us resolve to do better than the last. Invariably the vast majority of us have probably already failed dismally.
This made me start thinking, why do we have to wait for the beginning of a new year to look to be a better person?
I realised that whatever you do in life there is always an appropriate reward waiting for you as a direct result.
Just consider if you have overspent on your credit card “buying happiness” for Christmas. Your reward will be a mighty bill later on, which may then impinge on your happiness for a long time to come.
You may have decided not to spend and so your reward will be a healthier bank balance.
This kind of logic can be applied to all of us throughout our lives. If you do a good deed, look at it as money in the bank. The more you do the more you accrue. Eventually, and maybe at a most unexpected moment, your reward will present itself to you.
Alternatively if you choose to send out nothing but negativity then that will accrue in your life bank and will eventually jump up and bite you on the bum.
We all have choices in life, choices that we are free to make, that will undoubtedly affect our well being as well as others.
This coming year we have been warned over and over again that it will be one of austerity, but we need not be economic with love and goodwill as it costs not a penny.
Try to make your choices this year positive ones. If you fail at any given point in the year just recognise you are only human and resolve to try again immediately.
Don’t wait for the next new year to start!!
