A Happy New Year Starts With An Awesome Today

-->
As we reach that time again where we reflect upon where we have been in the past year and contemplate where the next will take us, I think where we are right now is all that matters.

I know how important it is to plan for the future. That setting forth on a plan and doing everything you have in your power will shape what the future will bring us. After all, we want nothing more than a bright future, prosperity and happiness as we look forward on a new journey that is so simply benchmarked by a single change of a new month in a new year.

Maybe it’s planning for a new career change, a new home or car, or that long awaited special vacation that is long past due. It really all comes down to the inspiration of hope of the good things that awaits us in a future of which we have little control.

There are many that see each passing year in a different light. For some it may be one more year off their mortgage or that huge car payment. It may mark the passing of another year of being disease or dependency free. For some it may mark another year behind them in a long hard battle they face ahead with the hope that the one-day will come when things will become somewhat normal again. It’s just a matter of perspective from where you are today.

As we all wish one another a Happy and Prosperous New Year and we make new promises or resolutions to ourselves to make the necessary or hopeful changes in our lives to be healthier, happier and more financially secure; it’s important to be sure that you make today count.  Tomorrow is meaningless without today’s good fortunes.

It doesn’t matter is you’re counting down or counting up, our future is only as good as our best today. We survived our past from the daily choices we made. Some brought us up and some brought us down. With luck, we learned from both, and adjusted course toward a better tomorrow; which was only possible by having a better today.  No matter what that moment in time is, whether it’s giving thanks to God, telling someone you love them, asking for forgiveness or just reaching out to lift someone’s day up; it’s that moment in time that helps bench-mark your future hours, days, months and years that you may become blessed to receive.

So as we go about our day today wishing good tidings of a Happy New Year, remember that the best thing you can give someone else is the best you that you can give today because when tomorrow comes, this moment will help shape the next, when we start each new day all over again.


Remember, “Life’s Short. Live It!” ®  “Live Today. Tomorrow is not yours to own.” If you can have the best today you can, you’ll have the best tomorrow waiting ahead for the future you!

Politically Above the Law

America is doomed if you accept this conclusion from the FBI’s investigation of Hillary Clinton. What you should accept is the evidentiary findings from this investigation, because the evidence that was found and presented does not support the conclusion. The FBI’s notion of “intent” and the actions of a “reasonable person” in her position are clearly supported by the evidence found. In other words, why would anyone in a governmental position such as Secretary of State, ever use any form of unsecured communication regarding ANY sensitive information regardless of its classification? The fact is she used not just one, but several personal servers to communicate and store any governmental information, when policy and security prohibits such communications. The willful act to ignore these policies only raises question of the underlying intent of doing so. Such actions are “grossly negligent” because the risk of harm, intrusion and security is extensive op...

The Fruit Doesn't Fall Far From the Tree...Or Does It?

Do you ever wonder what makes our views so different from others around us? I mean we seem to hold the same principles and core beliefs, but yet we differ in so many other ways. Is it the way we grew up or was it the environment we found ourselves surrounded by? There must be something that makes us take such polar opposite views on many things and yet unites us on others. Lets just take a moment and reflect upon our upbringing. Did the parenting skills and practices our parents had with us and how it molds our future? I don't think that one is more right than the other and most certainly, the environment we were raised in doesn't necessarily shape our future, I suppose, unless you let it. Let's examine this a little further... Parent A: Good hard working people with good moral beliefs. They have a love and respect for family and friends and teaches their children to have the same. They provide all the necessary tools for education and responsibility. They want nothing ...
