January 3, 2025: WHAT DO YOU PREDICT?
“The best way to predict the future is to create it." -Abraham Lincoln
Listen to this meditation on audio:
Well, here's the new year! We have new goals, new aspirations, new expectations! So where do you see yourself 365 days from today? Will you be happier? Will you be healthier? Will you be wealthier? These are all questions that hold a lot of promise for where we might be at the end of 2025. Fortunately, we hold the THREE KEYS to unlocking the answers to those questions. KEY NUMBER ONE: Will our prevailing ATTITUDE be positive and resistant to the headwinds we will face as we pursue improvements over last year? Will we outlast and overcome our own tendencies to procrastinate? A 'do it now' ATTITUDE and willingness to force enough discipline on ourselves to continue moving forward, as distraction after distraction tries to derail us, are crucial. KEY NUMBER TWO: will we be willing to LEARN whatever is necessary to make ourselves better and more capable of success as the new year grinds on? Our current knowledge brought us as far as we are today, which hopefully is not as far as we would like to go. In a world that is changing as rapidly as our world is, we will need additional knowledge to take advantage of the opportunities that live within our grasp. Learn all you need to learn! KEY NUMBER THREE: if you don't already have it, begin building the kind of CHARACTER needed to be an exceptional person. CHARACTER may not be easy to describe, but we know it when we see it. Persons of CHARACTER are reliable, trustworthy, and honest. They say what they mean and they mean what they say. I don't know what you are predicting for yourself in 2025, but here's my prediction: if you consistently apply the above THREE KEYS: positive ATTITUDE , consistently LEARNING new stuff and building good CHARACTER, 2025 will be your best and happiest year ever! GO GET'EM TIGER!
