Happy New Year!  Have you heard someone say lately, I’m turning over a new leaf?  This year isn’t going to be anything like last year!  Many of us have tried to turn over a new leaf in one area of our lives or another.  With the holidays almost behind us, we look forward to a new year and something better.  We try to improve ourselves, and many of us focus on the outside.   We head to the gym to lose weight, add muscle, and tone up our bodies.  We believe that if we look better, we will be more loved, more successful, and more accepted by others.  Most of us cannot keep the routine at the gym, the commitment to eat healthy, nor the desire for true change in our lives.  We FAIL…

We should look inward and invest in ourselves instead of worrying about what others think.  Strength and courage are not measured by how much weight we can lift, or how we handle fear.  Strength and courage come from within through our strong faith.  If we have enough faith to trust, enough faith to get through tough times, and enough faith to let go in our life storms, we will have all that we need.  True change comes when you decide that trying to improve your life on the outside isn’t ever going to work.  Plant your seed inside for change and new growth.  Take care of it, and protect it.  You will soon find it growing to produce fruit in your life.   Quote from Anthony Robbins: If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten.
