What keeps you motivated? As
you are making your gifts list and enthusiastically shopping for Christmas presents,
think about what it means to love and be loved. With Christmas and other holidays
coming up, I thought this would be a good time to talk about the importance of a
New Year’s resolution.
So many people are struggling with the economic conditions, health
issues, or personal losses. We can all play a role in making our life and the
lives of those around us a little better. How could we feel good with so much
going on?
Let’s begin by taking 15 minutes once a week and going into a very
quiet place or room. While in the room, ask yourself these questions: You may
want to focus on all the questions at once or just a couple per week. So, let’s begin.
Do I
believe in myself?
Do I believe
in a relationship which I am in?
Am I
treating my family members properly?
Do I
believe in what my child/children tell me?
Do I
follow up on my child/children’s comments?
Am I
really asking for help and advice or do I want to hear a response that would simply
satisfy me?
Do I
believe in a Divine Creator or God because of the influence of others?
Can I really
make a professional judgment that will result in a positive outcome?
Am I
treating myself, coworkers, and employees appropriately?
When
using my influence, am I representing the public or myself and what do I hope
to change?
Am I
truthful to myself and others?
Do I
constantly justify lies?
Do I
really believe what I tell others?
Am I
aware of what’s going on around me?
Am I
going to forgive and move on and how am I going to proceed?
Have I
been mistreating a child, elderly or someone I know?
How can I
know what I am doing is wrong?
How can I
go on with the loss of someone dear?
Am I
angry at someone and looking for revenge?
Who and
how can I trust?
Am I
really happy with the life I live?
Would
more love or more money make me happier?
What is
one thing I would like to do to be remembered for?
Remember you are
alone in the room and there is no one around to judge you or criticize you.
There is no news around to make you famous or scrutinize your answers. It is
just you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The New Year is
a perfect time to begin living an honest life. It’s a time for starting over
and creating fresh new relationships. We can do this by learning to truly know
who we are and how deeply true we are to ourselves. We need to recognize and accept
that we are human and that we make mistakes. We need to not make mistakes over
and over. We need to open our ears and our hearts to the people we love. We
need to understand that in a relationship one person has to be the reasonable
one for an issue to be resolve.
Trusting is a
very complex term and should be used with caution. As parents and mentors we need to understand
that when we trust and idolize others our children tend to give in to those we
trust.
Make sure you
give to those in need. Elderly people are particularly prone to loneliness over
the holiday period. Let’s all make a pledge to break the vicious circle of
abuse. We can’t have a peaceful world by instilling physical and emotional
instability in our children. By answering those questions above you can avoid
abusing someone or possibly being the victim of abuse.
Let’s make it
our New Year resolution to really live the life that we in our closed door
think is the right way and pledge to represent our inside out there where it
counts the most, stop creating harm and pain to ourselves and other. With
patience and hard work we can do it.
Our pledge is to
create an environment of hope to those who feel hopelessness. But we need your help. If you like to make a tax
deductible donation, please visit www.bnjfoundation.org and click “How to Support Us” or
just click the “Donate” button to support our effort. Please we are looking for
volunteers for our P*E*S Tour. Visit our website for more information.
We look forward to reading your responses. We would be honored if
you share your answers to the questions with us. We also ask you to share this
post with as many people as you know and ask them to check our website. We
don’t only need a health physical; we also need a life physical at least once a
year.
PS: Our website is under
maintenance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
