Ever have an important decision to make when you know you are not yourself!  Sometimes we get down, tired, exhausted with all the demands of busy living, we all get nudged off center from time to time  Sometimes illness can cause depression, the weather can get us down as it seems the winter is the endless season of the new year!  If an important decision has to be made and you can feel in your spirit that you aren't as strong and confident as you could be, better to wait a day or so.  Think about your choices, surround yourself with positive influences, get enough sleep, and pray!  Time really does heal all wounds and remember, "this too shall pass".  Be wise!

New year, new opportunity?  Take time to give yourself credit for the accomplishments you've made to date!  Where do you want to go from here and what will it take to get you there?  Write it down!  Determine what has to happen to initiate the change that you are so eager to see and start making plans.  Write down short and long term goals.  Create a vision and keep it in front of your eyes so your mind will begin to work on accomplishing those things which are important to you!  Nothing happens until you make it happen!  You have to take responsibility for who you are and the situation you are in, now!  You have to decide what you want to change, no one else can do that for you.  Create a blue print for yourself and work it out!  You have the power to make things change!   Take credit for the changes you have made so far and keep on marking off the successes large and small.  Make every positive step toward change and make the change positive.  It's up to YOU!
