Second month in, resolutions should be in full swing right??? If you fell off it’s totally fine. Same. Self deprecation can lead to more growth than it gets credit for. Don’t be too hard on yourself of course but it’s important to realize the only person who controls how far you go in life is yourself. We don't need resolutions to dictate how far we will go or can go. All we need is resolve, just the determination to begin. Whether it stemmed from this new year or if it’s been a lifelong journey to achieve something meaningful, it’s important to stay accountable throughout the entire process. If we don’t attend to what mistakes we make and how to not repeat them we will never have success in our endeavors. Take note of each step forward and back as each step serves as vital stepping stones to the final platform. There’s always room for improvement and a way to tweak our abilities to achieve set goals in our favor. Above all, the goal should always to be better than we were before no matter how small the improvements. It can be overwhelming to think about where we want to end up in life and how to get there. A grander scheme is best to realize but remember to stay in the moment and appreciate where you stand everyday. Be grateful. Be humble. Don't take the ability to achieve more for granted. So I leave you with this, the words of the late Kobe Bryant who was probably already quoting someone else great, it isn’t the destination, it’s the journey. Peace and abundance. XO
