As we close out 2011, I’m starting to think about my resolutions for 2012. The cartoon below is pretty much how successful I’ve been in years past.
A friend recently posted the following on facebook: “when you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you will be successful”
So I’m now trying to figure out what is as important to me as breathing. Is anyone else working on crafting resolutions for the new year?
SO TRUE!
Love everything about this visual.
Taking one or two deep breathes makes all the difference in the world (even if just for that moment), …TRY IT!
“It was great, Dad.”
“Did you see how poor people live?” the father asked.
“Oh yeah,” said the son.
“So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?” asked the father.
The son answered: “I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.
“We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.
“We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs.
“We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them.”
The boy’s father was speechless.
Then his son added, “Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are.”
Powerful quote….
We should be taught not to wait for inspiration to start a thing. Action always generates inspiration. Inspiration seldom generates action. ~Frank Tibolt
Love how this visual says it all!
Linda, look familiar???
Love this quote!
Habits are what shape us…. Unfortunately, our good habits are much easier to give up than our bad ones.
hab·it/ˈhabit/
Noun: A settled or regular tendency or practice, esp. one that is hard to give up.
Personally, I am in the process of forming a habit of exercise 5 days / week. I know I am making progress because I get frustrated and stressed when I don’t make that goal in a given week – the habit is forming…. 🙂
What positive behavior has become habit for you?
What good habits are you trying to form?
One of my favorite memories is playing a new game as a family Christmas morning, just the 4 of us. I also used to simply LOVE going to “grandma’s”!!
What’s yours?
