Today is the last Friday of 2024--the beginning of the final weekend of the year. Will it be just another Friday and weekend or will you spend some time in reflection? Reflection is good for the soul. If we wander aimlessly through life---without considering where we have been and what we might need to change---we are asking for more of the same. Perhaps you have become accustomed to The Same---and like knowing what to expect. BUT-if you want more, are not satisfied with your history, reflection is a great tool of introspection. I suppose that is where New Year's Resolutions came from--the desire to change--for the better hopefully. To my knowledge, I have never heard anyone say they wanted to begin a change for the bad in the future. We are creatures of hope--people who want to do better--always looking to improve. When we sit down and accept defeat--you can expect the broken record to keep on skipping over the same lines and notes. WE CAN DO BETTER! No matter how old you are, what your circumstances are, what your obstacles are, there is always some area in your life in which you can improve. Improvement spawns more improvement and the more we improve--the better our lives.
SO, Dear Friends, take a moment (at least) and reflect on where you are and where you have been. Add to that reflection where you would like to be. It is a wonderful tool--and shows us the depth of our potential. It all begins with a moment of reflection.
"And hope does not disappoint"
Romans 5:5
As our friend, Victor, would say, "Time for Reflections." Yes, Lulu, this weekend will be a great time to reflect upon the past and project hope for the future. I'm right there with you! Blessings!
