2012 is upon us.
What is your New Year’s resolution?
We have been asked that question a thousand times or so. Sometimes, we even ask ourselves “What is my resolution this year?” Then, we go about trying resolute (or resolve) something that has been a problem for us or something that we want to change to make us better people.
And, you know how the story goes. We work really hard for the first three months to make our resolutions a reality. However, by April, we resolute back to our regular selves, our normal routines, and our complacent lifestyles.
This year, I took a different road. Instead of making a resolution, I decided to just “be”.
What does it mean to “be”. Simply put, to “be” means that I will not “try” to do anything, I will not “try” to be anything, I will not “try” to make anything happen. BUT, I understand who I am, what God has called me to be, and what I should be doing. So, today versus making a resolution (or dreaming) to do or be something that I am not, I will just “be”. I will “be, me.
What about you? Do you know who you are? Do you know hat your purpose on this earth is? Do you know what God has blessed you to do and what He has called you to do? If so, then I challenge you to “be”.
Be just that- who you are and what God has called you to be. Nothing more and nothing less.
Let’s not spend another year trying to duplicate someone else, trying to look like someone else, trying to talk like someone else, trying to walk like someone else, or even trying to do what someone else is doing. This is ultimately the reason why we waste so many years of our lives. We walk down the road that someone else has paved. That’s not your road. Make your own road and see where it leads you.
“Be” who you are and don’t be surprised when the success you have been hoping for comes knocking on your door faster than you ever imagined.
It’s okay to “be” you. That is what the world is waiting on – you!
2012- Resolve to “be” you and only you.
