The New You In 2014

Well I write to you this beautiful, snowy day here in Atlanta, Ga. As I write I consider the fact that local news have been warning of this storm for a few days. But somebody, somewhere still dropped the ball. Reminds me of the saying, Poor Planning leads to Poor results.

Is that a familiar saying in your life? Proverb 29:18 in the King James Version of the Bible states "Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he." In Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill labels this as #2 of his 30 major causes of failure "Lack of a well-defined purpose in life." 

Do you know where you are going? Do you wake up in the morning with a clear vision of what you want to accomplish for today? Do you go to sleep every night evaluating your day, to ensure that today was a good day?

These are just a few questions that you need to ask yourself. As I grow on my spiritual path I notice that life is as easy or hard as I make it. But I also know that if I take the time to make my plan (goals), plan my work (to do list), work my plan (action), life is inherently more easy. This does not mean that I do not hit roadblocks, plans don't get shifted, or setbacks don't occur. But when these things happen I keep on moving.

I had a high school football coach and his halftime speech to us was "Breaks go against you, keep on pushing, Breaks go for you, keep on pushing." So if those plans call for changes, make the changes and begin to move forward again.

WINNERS NEVER QUIT AND QUITTERS NEVER WIN....
