A New Year is here and it’s so important to recognize that if you don’t want your new year to be the same as your last year, you will have to decide to make different choices and then take the necessary action steps to do something different, so that change can occur. It’s not about making another set of New Year’s resolution on New Year’s Eve; it’s about making better choices 365 days a year. Don’t kid yourself, be honest and wherever you might find yourself today is your starting point.

The other day, I was thinking, what would my life look like if I did everything I wanted to do? Have you ever taken the time to ask yourself “what if”? What if you took the time to really get to know yourself and discover what you want out of life? What if you allowed yourself to love and be loved? What if you embraced the present moment and enjoyed your life now? What if you were truly honest with yourself? What if you were more vulnerable? What if you trusted God with your whole heart?

Life can be full of frustration, loss, disappointment, struggle, and challenges. Yes, life’s struggles are real, but they’re also a transformative part of our journey, shaping and hopefully changing us for the better. The struggles of life become a part of our story, but if we only focus on life’s struggles, we will be in a continual state of overwhelm. We must remember that God is not a God of overwhelm but a God of peace.

Getting knocked down in life is a given; getting up and moving forward is a choice. Life can be complicated and challenging at times. Sometimes, you just feel like crawling up in bed and giving up. You keep getting knocked down, wondering if you have the strength or the energy to get back up. But remember…Our lives are an awesome gift from God, and we have to get up when we fall; we can’t stay down permanently. Be encouraged! You will bounce back from your setback if you are intentional.

Life is a matter of choices, and every choice you make makes you. John MaxwellWe are the end result of the choices that we’ve made. We are faced with making choices every day. Sometimes, we go through the day making spontaneous choices, and other times, intentional and purposeful choices, but whatever choices we’ve made… we’ve made them, no one else. Remember…You are free to choose your actions, but you are not free to choose the consequences.
