Resolution Revolution Part 10: One More Time

“Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.” – Dr. Seuss

Get up early again tomorrow. Do what worked yesterday. Read another book. Take another class. Write another article. Post another picture. Run another mile. Call another friend. Give a stranger a smile.

Whatever it is that you do. Whatever it is you resolved to do. Do it again today. Do it one more time today. Because whatever it is you want. Whatever it is you resolved to become. You become a little more by doing something more day by day.

Before spring has sprung most resolutions remain undone. A distant memory from years past, yet it’s only been a few weeks. How deep we can bury our aspirations? Then again, why should we? If all we must do, is the same thing one more, one day at a time, the why quite. Why do we always quite? It just takes one more time to succeed and become that which we resolved to become.

Well, then, one more time is not so bad. It’s only one more time. I can handle that, how about you? Remember, after sixty six one more times you just might have a new habit. Then you just do what you do, as it becomes part of your routine. You cross that finish line and move on to the next one.

What was your resolution? To lose some weight? To start exercising? To start eating healthier? Learn to cook and eat at home more? I hear those ones a lot.

How about any professional or spiritual resolutions? Have you decided to work more? Maybe work less and spend more time with the family? Go back to school and get that graduate degree?

How about to learn something completely new? Learn to paint, to write, play the piano, anything? How about volunteering? Or giving back in a different way?

Maybe you resolved to finally write that book or start that blog you have been talking about for years.

How about launching that business that has been renting that space in the corner of your mind for years? Well, maybe it’s time to start working on it.

Whatever it is you resolved to do. Whatever decisions you made to foster change and growth in your life in the coming year, remember, it doesn’t happen overnight. It doesn’t even happen in sixty six days, that’s just the formation of a new habit. It takes discipline, determination, and hard work (among other things), one day at a time.

You build your better tomorrow today by doing the right things one more time. Scary isn’t it? There is still time to quit before you start; it’s not two minutes to midnight yet.

Just kidding, stay tuned to learn more about building that tomorrow.

Talk Soon,

I am a business owner & operator. I have been starting and running small businesses for almost 20 years. I love to create - products, content, strategies, stories, copy, you name it. After living in the trenches I have decided to tell my story; where I came from and where I am going. This blog will be the home for my written story. I will document, report, and tell it like it is. I hope I can impart some wisdom & inspiration with a little of what to do, how to do it, and some fun what not to do stories along the way. Join me on my journey and enjoy the ride!
