To Believe is to Achieve

2017 is here, the sunrise came just as in the past, our new year has begun. Resolutions are made and dreams begin. Where do we start? We are creatures of habit, we follow the same patterns everyday. Today is a new beginning, if we want to change, first we need believe we can. Look in the mirror, do you like what you see? Being true to yourself is the beginning of change. Our lives revolve around the comfort zones we seem to cherish. A time has come in our lives to step outside of box and really look at our inner person. Our children need us to believe in ourselves and they need the guidance to believe who they are. If we keep doing the same things we will end with the same results. Letting the world control our thoughts and living in the box that society has set forth for us will result in the same outcomes as we have seen in the past. The time has come to stop doing what we have done because that is what we are suppose to do and step out of our comfort zones, look at our own selves and start the processes that will truly result in change. We can make a difference if believe, but with out believing in ourselves, we will get nowhere. One has to believe that change starts by looking looking in the mirror and seeing change looking back. I am as guilty as the next for living in the box. We get caught up in the daily routine, habits, the easy way, what do our children learn from this?
I am not big on New Years resolutions, but I do believe that I need to be real with myself and look at the real world, am I, as a father, husband and grandfather doing the right things to ensure safety and security for the next generation or am I living In the comfort zones I have built, not really looking at my true beliefs and stepping outside the box to help make a difference in the world today. Let's all take a step, look in the mirror and ask ourselves, are we making a difference? If we take the first step and really believe in who we are and what we are about as one we truly can change the world.
Happy New Year To everyone may this be the year of positive change
