New Years is traditionally a time of new beginnings. It is the perfect time to take inventory and consider the things about which you are passaionate and reconcile that against how you are spending your time. Too often the way we spend our time in no way reflects the things in life about which we are really passionate. It is too often overlooked that the way we spend each minute determines how we spend each hour. And the way we spend each hour determines how we spend our days. And the way we spend each day determines how we spend our lives.
How much time did you spend this week devoted to activities that really excite you? Did you commit a few hours to changing your life or the lives of others?
One of the worst movies of all time, Joe Versus the Volcano reflects the way many people live their lives. In the movie, Joe Banks (played by Tom Hanks) is a hypochondriac who learns that he is dying of a "brain cloud." This sad sack who goes through life merely biding his time until his inevitable death is representative of many people who go through their lives just going through the motions.
There is a cliche that says, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result." What are you going to do differently in 2006 to ensure it is different and better than 2005? Are you doing the same thing over and over and expecting that through some miracle you will move closer to your dreams and goals? Or are you making a specific, measurable commitment to do something different in 2006? The choice is yours; live life under your own personal brain cloud or go out and do something to make a difference.
I have to ask you one more time.............
- What are your passionate about?
- What are you doing about it?
