The arrival of a New Year always brings us to a place of reflection.
At one point during this time period, we start to think about what we need to do better in the incoming year. We start to make all sorts of promises to ourselves.
We commit to lose weight.
We commit to spend less.
We commit to see our friends more.
We commit to not worry so much.
We commit to laugh more.
We commit to do more yoga.
We commit to go to church or synagogue more.
We commit and commit and commit . . .
Often, we kick things off to a new start with great energy (think how busy the gyms are in January), but mostly we lose our 'steam' and 'focus' sometime around March (if not sooner).
I am thinking this year, we should keep it simple. . .
Let's commit to just one thing.
Let's commit to helping others in anyway that we can.
Let's commit to making a difference for one person.
Let's commit to giving more to others than getting more for ourselves.
Let's commit to doing more for others than taking more for ourselves.
Let's commit to helping someone this year who is in need.
