My Dearest You,
HAPPY NEW YOU in this New Year!!!
The Word of the Year for me is DECIDE, because after every decision follows an action.
You can lay in bed all day, but when you DECIDE to get up, what do you do? You get up. If you DECIDE to get a job, what do you do? You update your resume, put in applications, learn something new to help improve your chances of getting a job. If you DECIDE to lose weight, what do you do? You start watching what you eat, exercising more. Even if it’s for a little while, or for some of us one day. But you do it. Why? Because you DECIDED to.
Actions follow a decision.
Think about it. Every time you say the word “DECIDE”, the word “TO” usually comes right after it. Yep, think about it. I decided to. We decided to. They decided to. That means that after every decision an action is inevitable. Even if you DECIDE to do nothing. That’s the action you will take. The action of doing nothing. Because believe it or not, nothing is an action. What are you doing? Nothing. The act of doing no thing, but the fact that you are still breathing nothing is in motion.
As for me, I’m not going to come up with a bunch of thoughtless resolutions that don’t mean much, and that I don’t stick to. This is what I DECIDED:
- To Continually Say “Yes” To God
- To Love Others As God Loves Me
- To Be All That God Has Created Me To Be
- To Help Make A Difference In My Family And Community
- To Go And Make Disciples
What have you DECIDED to do this year?
