Hello All. So it is officially 2010. Wow. I am not sure how you celebrated the coming of the new and the passing of the old, whether with friends and family, by yourself with ice cream and a good movie, or with complete strangers all coming together to ring in the new year, but if your reading this than that means you have survived another year and are ready for the new.
I was given the privelege to work last nite as my job is in the hospitality field and so whenever someone is in need of service, we are there and available. The group we had last nite was an interesting group and the nite was an up and down kinda nite but everyone had fun and I learned one valuable lesson; never send your only other server home until everything is done. My legs are not too happy with me rite now.
As I was making my way home this morning I started thinking about some things and I know I've been told countless times that thinking and driving is not safe for me, but I took a risk and kept on thinking. Somethings that were swirling in my head is how we can start this year off with excitment and passion and this just insane spirit of hope and belief in great things to happen, and then things seem to sorta die down, loose their power, and sometimes disappear outright. I never really understood why that happens. I know for myself right now even though i'm totally beat from the work I did, I feel that energy, that excitment, and see this new year with great anticipation, and know craziness will happen; still the thought remains of how this year will transpire. We start this year off with hope and sometime along the way hope is replaced by doubt, imagination steps aside for reality, and the passion of yesterday seems to be overcome by mundaness. Not sure why these things happen and I know I may never know, but I do know that in a race, the way you start is a big key to how the rest of the race goes and how you finish.
So as you prepare yourselves for the coming year and complete those tasks today that must be done, take time to reflect on how you ran your last race and how you finished, then see what improvements need to be made, and take a real step and seek out how to bring about these improvements. The year is a great one to be had and I know for me the word for this year is bold faith, actions speak louder than words. I have personal things that have been laying in my heart waiting to be started and I will not share all of them yet, for a book I read says "let not thy left hand know what thy rite hand is doing." To me that means simply not saying I'm going to do something, but do it. You have dreams sitting in your soul waiting to be expressed so my friends I challenge you, nah, I dare you, to step out and simply grab hold of life and those soaring dreams and stand as an inspiration to others who need to see something that tells them its possible, those dreams can be a reality.
