"The tumult and the shouting dies;
The captains and the kings depart:
Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice,
An humble and a contrite heart.”
~ Rudyard Kipling (Recessional Hymn)
It is a new year. Our calendar turns again if only to remind us that we have an opportunity. We may envision a new beginning and enjoin our hopes, dreams and resolutions with those of so many others who are doing the very same thing today. This is the day that we can see the crossroads at which we stand and make a decision that will change the course of our lives. This is the day.
The New Year is the perfect time to ask myself two burning questions:
• When all is said and done...What is important?
Stand back a look at the big picture. You have principles and dreams. Life is too short not to follow and be true to them. Don’t put them aside anymore.
• Are the things that I am doing helping or hurting (myself, the ones that I love, the community at large)?
The impact that you have is immeasurable no matter how insignificant you THINK that you are. Make every moment count.
Everything will be better if you follow these questions in 2008. Life will be good. Explore. Dream and Discover. Change the world today!
"Le present est gros de l'avenir" (The present is big with the future)
