Five Thoughts for a New Year
“Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control;
these three alone lead life to a sovereign place.”
--Tennyson
A New Year has begun. This week I am sharing five basic thoughts that help me. Hopefully you will find them helpful, too.
WEDNESDAY: Each day is all about following your plan.
Yesterday we focused on taking each day for what it is – not looking back and not looking too far into the future. Today we talk about following a plan. Mike Tully offers this insight: "Your priorities determine your progress." Do you have a plan for today? I would encourage that. Naturally there will be things that will distract you from that plan. Give attention to the distractions – they can be part of a larger plan beyond your control. But make sure you follow your plan for the day, every day! (If you are like me, you may need to write down your plan in case memory fails you!)
When you start your day with a plan, many things can be accomplished, even with all the challenges we will encounter. In fact, you might be amazed by all the things that happen to you in 2011 when you follow your plan. Plan well and journey through, friend. This is Tennyson's self-knowledge component!
