The upcoming 2011 New Year is the start of the new Decade and many of us are entering it besieged with a host of economic and health challenges.
Despite what seems to be never ending pressure from all these challenges, we must all embrace this decade with Hope and Resolve to make these years the best of our lives. If our passing years haven’t taught us anything, they have taught us that nothing good or bad truly lasts forever.
Step forward with positivity and leave the negative elements that have weighed you down throughout these times at the doorstep of this Decade.
There are so many things so wrong with this world and we all feel quite impotent against the powers that be. I personally like the saying of “Think Globally, Act Locally”, and I take it to another level by concentrating on the well-being of my child knowing full well this goodness and positivity will have a ripple effect that will engulf the world.
Don’t allow the economic challenges posted at the workplace to have an overbearing effect on your happiness. Take the time from the race to take your child to the park and walk barefoot in the grass. After work take a drive to the beach and just enjoy the feeling of being engulfed in the salty water of the ocean. Don’t think so much, just go ahead and live the moment. the responsibilities of the world will always be there waiting for you.
Be selfish if you must label it as such, an hour of this a day or even a week will reinvigorate your spirit and somehow you will see begin to look at those “burdens” that seem to devour your energy as “Challenges”. Don’t ever, ever give up on your dreams or ambitions and if you have children hoist and propel them to follow their own dreams even further than you have pursued your own.
The Climb is just part of the Ascent. There is the View, Effort and Overall Feeling of our Small Victories that must be savored along the way. G-d Forbid we Reach the Top too soon.
Happy New Decade Everyone. Make it YOURS!
