Half-Way and Take Stock

Hey people.... Today is the last day of June. We are just about half way through the year. What have we done so far this year with our lives? Are they anything worthy of mention or do we need to review and consider taking steps to improve?

I know many friends, classmates during my student days and colleagues during my working days, who made resolutions after resolutions at the beginning of the year only to end up breaking these resolutions soon thereafter. It was like saying, hey lets have some fun and make a list of dos and don'ts again this year and see who breaks them first!! ha ha ha. Never a thought of improving oneself ending up bogged down with mundane routines throughout the year. Making resolutions at the beginning of the year is just considered the 'in thing' to do while not striving to uphold them will not tell on you!! To my mind it is better to take stock periodically, monthly, or quarterly or half yearly or whatever, to see what we have done, review them and take the necessary steps to improve, if improvement is what is needed.

This being half way through the year is a good time to take stock and consider alternative steps if things are not moving the right way. Think positive, make the move and change. I believe in the saying that 'things will not change if I do not make the change' No use in being negative by lamenting that this or that is not right, or cannot this or cannot that. Other people cannot change you. You have to change. Take charge of your life and make the difference. You will be surprised at how easy it is once you set your mind to it. Good luck and God bless.......(smile on my face)......
