New Day

After much pondering this weekend I realized I need more hours in the day, and a good bit of self-discipline. So this morning my alarm went off at 5:45 instead of 6, and will be moved gradually earlier to a pre-determined time.

Yesterday's early day saw me powering through a lot of things with determination. And it's a much-needed determination - I've realized life is too short to mess around, and there are some areas where I'm saying "enough! no further!". There are still many things frustrating me, but I'm developing a plan of action to deal with them one at a time.

I once read that many of us wait until a certain time to make change. "Tomorrow I'll do better" or "when my next birthday arrives" or (the popular) "New Year's Resolution". And yet we have a choice every second, from one to the next, as to how to chart our course. There is no need to wait. And I'll say it again, THERE IS NO NEED TO WAIT to change. I can no longer afford to wait. Life is uncertain, finite, and I will not waste even seconds anymore.

It's a new day. Things are changing. Miracles may not happen, I may not be able to make all my dreams come true, some things may simply be beyond my power, but I sure as hell am going to be putting in the effort to move forward and achieve what is humanly possible.
