What Have You Changed?

What have you changed in the last year?

You have 2 more days left, so what did you do this year? Are you the same person you were at the start of last year? Have you changed your attitude, let go of your hatred and bitterness? Did you cut out the people that weighed you down last year? Did you stop doing the negative things that plagued you?

Most people make new years resolutions and then don't keep them.

It's never too late to change even with the hours counting down you can change right now, this minute, this second! You don't need a special day to change, a specific hour; do it right now.

Don't give up; there is always a chance to change yourself and your life.

Don't say I'm too old, I am set in my ways, I can't, it won't happen....fill in the blanks with excuses, they are just that, excuses, take action now! Being a winner doesn't mean you always win; it means you never give up!

Champions are determined, they are not quitters. There is a Youtube video I love, it's two marathon runners, their neck in neck, so close to the finish line when one falls and trips the other one. Their legs are like jello. They keep trying to stand yet keep falling, over and over. They try to get up but can't, then one starts to crawl to the finish line with the other right behind her.

She makes it to the finish line and then helps the other one cross it as well. Now that is a champion! It didn't matter what her timing was; it just matter that she finished; nothing was going to stop her even if she had to crawl...that is determination.

When I was doing my triathlon, I had broken my toe the day before, I had got stung in the ass by a sea of huge jellyfish at the beginning of the race and as I was running the last leg of the race, ass burning, toe killing me, the skies opened up and lighting and thunderstorms rained down on me. I didn't care; I was determined to finish.

I raised my fist to the sky and screamed, "Is that all you got because I am not giving up!"

I crossed the finish line, and just as I did, the rain stopped, and the sun shined on my face. It was one of my proudest moments, I did this despite the fact that I was afraid of swimming and sucked at it, that I hated to run and that all this happened to me, I didn't quit, I finished what I started out to do! That made me a winner.

They say the greatest accomplishment in life is to earn something not to be given it, and it's true, you know you did it all by yourself, you did it, and that is an incredible feeling.

So today, my friends with the last hours left to 2021, don't wait until the ball drops, change your life right now, this second, it's never too late to change...

Happy New Year to all of you...thank you so much for your continuing support for me and my blog. I wish you health, peace, and joy for the upcoming year and the peace of mind to know anything is possible if you believe......

"Be the change you want to see."
