"You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us
You make me new,
You are making me new"
-Gungor
A brand new year was always exciting, but it wasn't until recently that I began to grasp the meaning.
New Year's resolutions were never made in my house. If we wanted/needed to change an aspect in our life, it should happen immediately or as soon as possible. The only time I heard about people's resolutions were excuses of why they wouldn't continue. Not enough time, not enough money, not enough support....All I heard was, "Resolutions are meant to be spoken, not fulfilled."
So why continue? Because it makes us feel good. It's an effort without the excursion.
I used to think resolutions were stupid.
But I don't think that anymore.
I think resolutions are fabulous. I think they're an important step to accomplishing a dream. But I have to remember that it's going to be hard. I won't want to do it some days. I'll choose to give up. I'll choose the wide, comfortable path. And once I do it will be even more difficult to get back on the right path. But will it be worth it? Oh, yes. A resolution should be something you believe in so completely that pain and hardship are mere trifles to attaining the greater good.
Yes, I thing resolutions are fabulous.
