New Year's Resolutions

A new year begins, and we vow to change.

Our lives we try to better rearrange.

We want to conform to the way we feel right.

So, our goals we set, soon take to flight.

So high we reach for that bright star;

not realizing our goals we set are too far.

Then disappointed that we have missed our mark,

saying next year I’ll try, next year I will embark.

In doing this, precious time we then loose.

Moments escape us, cause that’s what we choose.

We must realize in goals that we set,

take a step at a time until they are met.

If in our journey, we stumble along our way,

we must get up and try again that very same day!

Don't focus on mistakes.

It's good that we learn from them,

so hopefully we don't repeat them.

After we have learned from our mistakes,

we need to learn to let go of them and

leave them where they belong.

In the past.

I've heard it said somewhere

that there is no future being

stuck in the past.

We also shouldn't let mistakes

prevent us from pushing on

to accomplish God given goals.

God hasn't given up on us,

and we shouldn't either.
