2013 Resolutions?

Okay so I've never been big on resolutions, partially because I don't think anyone sticks to them and partially because we shouldn't wait until the new year if something in life needs changed... All that aside I have actually quasi made a resolution this year... It's sort of along the lines of " if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." But not really that deep... Just some things I hear myself say WAY too much that I need to change. And basically, I want you to think about your own vocabulary and consider making your words your resolution with me.

It doesn't have to be anything extreme, in fact you probably have a better chance at sticking with your resolution if it isn't.  And don't s,other yourself, give yourself some slack so if you make a mistake don't give up, just realize that last year you wouldn't have even looked at it as a mistake so if you are now that in itself is progress! If you think about it differently this year -whatever it is- then something is changing inside you and eventually that which is changing inside will make it to the outward and stay there.  Maybe it's just the ever so popular "like" in the midst preach sentence, maybe it's just that on person who seems to trigger your temper and make you say things you regret, maybe it's cussing or maybe it's just plain ole negativity. Whatever it is - and I'm sure there's something - lets get it started and see if we can make our words taste a little bit sweeter.

Listen, the truth is ere are always going to be nay Sayers, always people who speak poorly of you when you're not around or people who judge you for your mistakes and try to hold you there, but that's all the more reason for you and I not to be part of any of that. It doesn't even have to be about being "spiritual" it is just good practice, we all like those people who just have that ability to lift us with their words, so lets choose that no matter what those negative comments thrown our ways are, we will be part of the positive in the world. What's the old adage? "If you want the world to be a better place, take a look at yourself and make the change."

I'm with ya! Happy new year!
