2024 The Year We Already Live
As the New Year approaches, people all around the World make plans to change stuff and do things differently. New Year’s resolutions take the form of fitness, finances, diet, exercise, marriage, relationships and so on and on. The real question is, are our lives so bad right now that we need to revisit every aspect of them?? I doubt that most of us will or would admit that we have lives that need to be fixed on a global scale. If we do and we admit it, why wait for a new year to change? Are we just victims of the hype of a New Year and what it will bring us? It does seem as though we are.
Now is the time to truly understand the life you have and what it brings to you. It obviously suits you or you would not be living it .Right?? Too often we look for change as a way to understand what we are doing and assume that we are doing it wrong. I say that for 2024, we embrace the lives we live, we make changes to a routine that makes us healthier and we take care of ourselves in the present. Do not wait for a start over. Every minute you live is the start over and you can decide if you want to start over or not. It is not up to a date or a calendar to refine and define your life choices. The time for reactionary decisions is behind us. We are a community of like minded people who are driven by an individual need to make the choices we made work for us. No play book here. No rules, no expectations and no self avoidance. Look in the mirror and know that you are the choice that matters. Do it today and get ready for the count- down when you are already in the new way of thinking and you celebrate that with a glass of champagne.
Make sure that you do not overlook the things that make you unique. You are the gift that keeps on giving and it is us to you to see the choices you have made and will make come to life and lift you up to a place where you need to be and where you want to be. Take people along for the ride, your ride becomes their ride and now you are making a difference in the lives of others by showing them that they are perfect as they are. Perfection is very subjective but the lives of people are perfect because they chose them or they accept them. It is easier for us to feel good about ourselves or our lives when we know that we did the hard choices and we are now living them. Good or bad, we did it and it is up to us to accept it or change it. Period.
Allowing anyone but you to have control of your life is unacceptable. Marriage is the merger of two people in love or who have decided to be together. It is not a sentence to change everything for the other person rather it is a definition of the two parts of wonderful people making one beautiful union. With each partner having the life they want and need and accepting the other partner’s choices. This is the way the world should work out for all and in most every aspect. If you want more affection, ask for it. More sex is your need? Let your partner know. Be willing to hear what they have to say also as it might just surprise you. Love and life and marriage and relationships are not political plays. It is not up to you to do what is right or expected unless it suits you and you embrace it. This would be like an arranged marriage or something along those lines.
The real point here is to embrace what you have and take the time to really absorb that. Let yourself feel that your success is in the life you have and the lives you influence. Understanding that you are where you need to be is a powerful tool. Most of us do not see that readily if at all and it costs us as the years go by. Time and money are valued by people in the World the most according to some studies and research on what makes us happy and what we feel we need. If this is truly the case, then stop wasting time on things that are not an issue. Stop wasting money on a gym membership that you use once a month maybe. Do not fool yourself that you are making changes that are needed if you do not need to make them. That is the definition of insanity. Accept you now. Decide on tweaks you need to make for you. Be a beacon of light and hope for others who are struggling or who need you. Living your best life now is the only resolution you need to make when 2023 turns to 2024. You are a success and you make a difference in lives of people around you. Take off the blindfold and let yourself see the truth and beauty of you and what you are doing every day.
Reach out to your heart. Let you see what others have known for a long time. Be sure that you know your value and you will see that a resolution is only promise to yourself that you may not keep. Life puts us in situations and it is not always our choice. But it is our choice to rise above the issues, understand the struggle and to win. As long as you do your best you are a true winner. As long as you believe in yourself you will succeed and as long as you use the calendar to make appointments and schedule dinners or fun or work, you will be fine.
2024 here we come, just the way we are now. Only a little wiser. Cheers.
