You may have a fresh start any moment you choose. Mary Pickford
Do you remember do-overs? They were really popular at my school. Everybody wanted one.
“I wasn’t ready. Can I have a do-over?”
“She laughed at me. Can I have a do-over?”
“I coughed. Can I have a do-over?”
Most of the time the answer was “NO!” You learned to stop asking. The older you got, the more you realized that it was even immature to ask for a do-over. You began to realize you are responsible for your actions. You learned that life goes on whether you are ready or not.
Guess what? At any point in time, you can have a do-over. ‘Tis the season to give and I’m giving you an official do-over. New year, new beginning. January 1 marks the beginning of a new year. I like to think of that day as a chance to start fresh…a personal do-over. If you are disappointed or regret the action(s) you did or didn’t take in 2012, now is the time to cash in your do-over.
Really. Right now. Just get up and walk away from reading this and take ONE SMALL STEP towards that things you want to accomplish in 2013. DO IT. NOW!
