New beginnings, New adventures.

The crazy and hurried days of the past holiday season are past us now. If you are like most people you are looking ahead to what one hopes is a year full of promise, full of hope, and full of everything that was missing from the previous 12 months.

Each new 365 day period ushers in new beginnings and new adventures.  The question I have for you today is will you go after each of your adventures or will you allow them to simply fade into the background with no action from you on them?  Come on, it's the New Year, and why duplicate last year's efforts, or in some cases lack of effort?  I've seen so many people who have given up on their dreams and quite frankly they already have half a foot in the grave.  If you always want to be young, feel young, and act young, then simply move forward on your dreams. You will never get old if you go after those things that are deep in your heart.

So what's the first thing you should do this new year to usher in those things you desire most?  Well quite frankly you have to be willing to admit to the things you want most in life.  There are many, many people out there who for what ever reason are unwilling to acknowledge what they want in life.  This may be a result of having been mocked or ridiculed for what they desire. Face it, the world can be a very mean place.  I saw screw the naysayers and simply scream out what you most desire right now.  Once you are able to accept those things that reside inside of you, then those things that you desire will come out to the surface, and then all you need to do is simply own them.  Here is a simple truth:  you will never have what you don't believe you can have.  There are plenty of people out there who desire wealth, but the simple truth is they don't believe they are deserving of wealth, so quite frankly wealth is something they will never have.

You are just as deserving, just as worthy,  of having whatever your heart desires as anyone else walking the planet.  Man has done a pretty good job of screwing with our minds and making us believe that success, happiness, and joy, are only for a select few.  That is utter hogwash, and the sooner you realize that your worth is based only on the fact that you are alive and breathing at this moment, the sooner you can step into those things that were always intended for you.  I've had people ask me if I ever get tired of trying to motivate others and my response is an emphatic NO!  Helping someone achieve a dream or a goal is what I was put here on this earth to do.  There is no greater joy then seeing someone who is doing what they love, and loving what they do.  There is no greater joy then knowing that I had a small part to play in someone achieving a life long dream.  The is simply no greater joy then knowing that someone has discovered the purpose behind them being here right now and then walking in that destiny to the best of their ability.

This is what a New Year should bring for in you: If you are wanting to do more with the dreams that reside in you, then recognize the simple fact that there is something you should be doing with them.  Dreams and visions are not something that simply hang around to occupy space or time.  Your dreams and visions exist because there is something you are supposed to garner from them, and the sooner you are able to gain whatever perspective you are supposed to gain from them, the better all of us will be.  I say all of us because most dreams and visions are there to help mankind.

We see people who set New Year's Resolutions.  Some are able to stick with them, and others simply let them fall to the wayside.  Let your resolution be what gets you up each morning with a joy in your heart because you are free to go after anything you desire.  I for one am extremely excited for what this next year is going to mean for me.  I have the opportunity to do some things that I have always wanted to do, and I'm eagerly anticipating success in whatever I lay my hands to.  This is the mindset that each of you are going to have to get if you want to walk in those things you desire most.  It is time to cut loose from the expectations of man and simply be the person you were always designed to be.  It's easy to try to fit into a mold that others have made for you, but that mold is not your mold, and the sooner you can free yourself from other's expectations the better off you will be.  Isn't it time that you are the one who captures all the goodness that life has to offer and not be the one who is simply watching from the sidelines as someone else gets all the glory for doing something great?

This New Year is your New Year.  It is absolutely a time of new beginnings and new adventures.  I will bet you that deep inside of you is something that wants to come out, and I am encouraging you to let it out.  Your life will change in such a dynamic way when you are able to walk in those things that you have wanted all of your life.  It's never too late to change, and it's never too late to be the person you were meant to be.  I stand with you this year and I for one am looking forward to each new adventure.  Join me in this endeavor and see what wonders will appear right in front of your eyes.
