Goodbye 2010

I know it has been a few weeks since we have all been blessed to see a new year, but I wanted to wait to publish this article for a very important reason As a ritual, whenever it’s a New Year there are millions of people that set New Year resolutions.

For the year of 2011, I wanted to be patient and become a witness to the various different resolutions of which I heard many.

In the year of 2011, I’m going to manage my weight and work hard to loose 100 pounds.

This year I’m going to do right by my kids and be a stronger parent.

This year I’m going to get out of debt by planning a weekly budget.

Every year millions of resolutions are set and millions also lack follow through.

We should all hold ourselves accountable to accomplish our goals.

The year of 2011 should be different; instead of speaking goals into existence, goals should be placed into existence.

2010 is behind us now so whatever was hindering us from accomplishing new things last year shouldn’t even be used as an excuse this year.

If constantly being broke was an issue last year, then fill out some applications and get a job this year.

If a dream is to further your education, then contact a school and check into setting up a
financial aid package.

If drugs were your outlet in 2010, then let the testimonies in Gods word become your outlet in 2011.

If negative people were the only kind of people that you were surrounded by last year, then surround yourself around some positive individuals this year.

2011 is the a new year so its time to place some new goals.

Don’t let 2011 be the twin of 2011; don’t say what your going to do and then fail to do
anything.

Yes, there are going to be obstacles that stop us along the way from getting where we want to be.

These are only challenges to test us to see if we really want to accomplish our goals or no.

If getting where you want to be is an easy mission, then maybe where you want to be isn’t where you should be at all.

One for the week: “For a long time now—to this very day—you have not deserted your fellow Israelites but have carried out the mission the LORD your God gave you”. Joshua 22:3
