I came into 2019 with a new mindset. A mindset that everyone seems to have at the New Year that this year was going to be different. This year was going to be better. I was going to be a better version of me and do everything I set out to do. Fast forward almost two months in and the struggle has been real. But this year is different from the previous year my will to want to change is greater and my tendency to give up has faded. I refuse to go through another year not knowing I gave everything I could for it to be different. I refuse to go into another year thinking if only I had did this last year I wouldn’t have to be doing it right now. Now let me be clear this willingness to do better and be better has not come in a flash change of mind its come over several attempts to change and failing. What I’ve learned is the age old try, try, and try again is so true. If you get it right on the first time great, but if you don’t keep going until you do. Sometimes it takes changing one thing at a time. Slow and steady wins the race, by accomplishing one goal it made it easier to keep my mind focused on completing my next goal. Does the self doubt disappear? Never. It always there the devil always attempt to discourage you and fill your mind with a million reasons why you can’t continue or why it won’t work like last time, but you have to remember giving up is not an option.
Now as always it is easier said than done and it may take some self-reassuring daily but what do you have to lose? It has been said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over expecting a different result. Therefore if you want something different you have to do something different. One thing that keeps me going is my goal, my vision of the person I want to be, and the places where I want to go in life. Writing down the visions helps you declare to yourself what you want to do. A bank won’t give you a loan without a business proposal, a plan on what you are going to do with their money and how you plan to achieve those set goals. Think of your goals and encourage yourself daily. Remember that anything is possible. You’re only limited by the limits you place on yourself. Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
