It’s the time of year when we set up what we resolve to do
in the new year. Many commercials and
talk shows always seem to begin with the “healthier you” mantra and quickly
point out the fact that this is the number one New Year’s Resolution that has a
perpetual “repeat” button.
We should all be encouraged by those who have gone before us
who hit the “repeat button” time and time again—never giving up. They lead the way!
Take for example Thomas Edison, most noted for his invention
of the light bulb. In reply to his
numerous attempts on various experiments regarding electricity, Thomas Edison
said, “I know several thousand things that won’t work.”
Abraham Lincoln had his own set of perceived failures before
becoming our nation’s sixteenth president through the most trying time of our
nation’s history.
What can be learned from these men? In a word –Perseverance.
So what if your New Year’s Resolution(s) is or are the same
as last years; you know what did not work and can build on that!
Take a week or two for thoughtful reflection on what
resolutions you want this New Year—even if some are repeat resolutions.
Make those resolutions specific enough to be measured but
not so easy as they do not stretch you in a healthy way. If they are too vague, you’re let off the
hook.
As the year progresses you more than likely will come along
roadblocks. Don’t let those stop
you! Persevere. You just found
one way that does not work, now keep moving.
I am sure by the end of 2017, you’ll have grown to
understand new things about yourself, others, and will have developed a greater
sense of who you are and what you are to be about!
HG Labs’ Harmony Aromatherapy Cleaners wish you much success as
you persevere in your resolutions
for this New Year!

Stones for a Successful 2017”
