Happy new year

YAY, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 2009 is here and people seem to think it's a new beginning, another chance to get their proverbial shit together. Unfortunately yesterday 2008 looks exactly the same as today2009. the changing of a number on a calender doesn't really signify a great new spiritual start or re awakening or new beginning or chance to start again.
Whatever it may be. A diet, exercise routine, relationship commitment, financial goal, whatever. You don't need a new year to do any of those things, you just need to do it. Get off your ass and do it, anytime.
I heard once that your fate is set, the time you spend on this planet is already decided, you have no control over that. What you do have control over is how you spend that time. The scale of your life is set so being a coward serves no one.
So, with that in mind, BEGIN! whatever it is, take the step on your journey whenever you feel brave enough, or even when you don't. Do it 'cause being a coward serves no one!
Whatever that thing may be, make sure it's something you WANT to do, not something you think you "should" do. I've found that whenever the word "should" pops into your head it always sounds like someone elses voice. Like someone telling you to call them, and then you tell yourself , "I SHOULD call them" when you know in your gut nothing will be gained, and in your head no good will come from talking to them, but the should pressure is there.
So again make sure you do what is best for you, not selfish, just best for you.
And if your start fizzles, start again. you don't need a reason, or special date, or traumatic experience to begin anything, just begin, quit whining and get on with it.

until later
