“Character is the ability to carry out a good resolution long after the excitement of the moment has passed.” – Cavett Robert
Happy New Year! Happy New Decade! 2020! WOW!
Congratulations! You made it! It is now after mid night and a new year has sprouted launching into a new decade, and this will be the best one yet, right?
I guess if it’s just after mid night the verdict is still out. We will have to revisit that question in a few months.
But a congratulation is still in order; you made through eleven parts of this series to get here! I thank you. Unless you started late, then I suggest going back and starting from part one. I am funny like that. I like order, continuation, continuity, congruency, etc, etc. I like things to flow and I like connection and relationship. That is why I like to write series works and read them as well.
If you like thrillers or crime novels these are my three favorite series right now…
Orphan X series by Gregg Hurwitz.
Quinn Colson series by Ace Atkins.
Bosch series by Michael Connelly.
But I degrees, or do I? My biggest resolution is to see how I can add value and to see how I can best serve and help others; in my family, friendships, businesses, and all throughout my life.
I do not want to segment, compartmentalize, or discriminate anymore. I have one life and I want to add value wherever I can, however I can. I believe that the more I can serve and help others the better I will become. That is why I am doing this. Yes, writing this and posting on my blog. This is how I get to live after mid night.
I do. And then I do it again. Because I hope, and believe, that this will add value to someone. Even if it’s only one person, I did it. I made a difference. And, if I keep at it and do it one more time. That one person will become two and two will become four and…you get the idea. The power of compounding will take over and the growth will be exponential. The impact will become exponential. Domination; just think of all that value added.
Maybe for that one person all I did was provide a reprieve, a momentary escape from their dreadful existence in a cubicle. They follow me and at some point they read something else of mine, maybe they read my story and discover their story. Maybe they read this entire series and become inspired and feel the motivation needed to make a change in their life. Maybe my article is simply a doorway they pass through, only to discover another book, article, influencer, coach, or mentor that becomes their catalyst for change.
How great is that? Just to simply be a part their journey and add value at one of their checkpoints…
It all starts somewhere, that somewhere, for me, is right here. The journey might have started years ago, but now it is time for another turn. It is time for the next leg. It is time to share the path that got me here and discover the new path together with each step I take. And, for some insurance, I spoke, I put out my intentions. Now I have my accountability partners…
You!
So, whether it’s January 1st or July 21st, I continue on, do it one more time. When I feeling myself getting lazy and starting to let things slide and start falling away from me and what I doing, I can reach out to you for motivation, or…You call my bluff and pull my covers and I get back to the heaving lifting that got me here in the first place.
I remember that, together, we are creating a new order. Resolving to do and be better one day at a time. I don’t know exactly where this path will take me, but I know that it feels good, it feels right, and If I keep at it I can keep the dream living after midnight.
Talk Soon,
