How Will The Year Ends
Human are the only creature that have the ability to think of the past and the future while in the present. You have the ability to turn the bad to good, the good to better and the better to the best. Also you can turn your whole life or any aspects of your life from any stage of Wellness or "badness" to the worse. Bad or Great, it all depends on you.
I remembered the story of two sons of an alcoholic and bad Dad. One turned out like him while the other son was the good opposite of him. A journalist interviewed both of them though separately. He asked one why did you turn out bad and he said my father, what else do you expect from a son whose father is bad. Later, the other son was asked the same question. Why did you turn out opposite of your father? He answered because because I saw my father and I don't want to be like him. So I make up my mind to be the exact opposite.
The end of the year is not be the ideal time to evaluate how you are fairing. You should do it day after day. Comparing day after day, week after after, month after month. Also use your special days like birthday, wedding anniversary, job anniversary( the day you start a new job or change job) business start anniversary ( the day you start a new business or additional business). You need to evaluate and make decisions.
Also the inherent value of knowledge, decision, choices, mentorship and association and daily evaluations will make your year a great one. The story is told of a garden owner who came yearly to see if there is fruit on the tree. So you also go to your trees - business, relationship, jobs, church, pastors, mentor, contemporaries, mentees to see if there is fruits in them.
The year is going, 24 hours is the value of each day. Take time out to evaluate and ask for help. Don't finish the year without personal progress.
Love you
