The start of a new season of time, whether it is the start of a new
year, a new month, or even a new week, gives people a chance to start
afresh. There is something special about flipping the page of your
calendar and seeing a blank calendar that enables people to make a new
start.
Perhaps the past year or even just the past week was filled with
failure to meet your goals. Let the blank calendar of the year or week
ahead give you hope to begin again. Did your year begin filled with
the promise of better things and then end not much better than it
began? If so, it is time to start over with the hope of new and better
things. Get out a piece of paper and your blank calendar and move into
a new phase.
Look at the blank calendar in front of you. What do you see? Hopefully
you see potential, possibility, and a fresh chance to have the life
you hope for. Do not allow yourself to see your blank calendar as the
first step toward failure or toward another not-so-happy time of your
life. Any progress you will make in life must begin with thinking
positively.
If you have trouble seeing your blank calendar with any kind of
excitement, make yourself a list of ways in which you hope that this
blank calendar represents good and healthy things to come. Allow
yourself to dream about life as it could be but then follow your
dreaming by making some realistic goals and ways to measure the
success of the time ahead. Break your goals down into small steps that
can be accomplished each day, week or month throughout the year.
Reading thirty books during the year might seem like a huge goal, but
breaking it down to reading thirty pages a day might make the goal
seem more manageable. You can use your blank calendar to record each
day of success you have in meeting the goal of thirty pages.
You must begin to move beyond the failures of your past if you ever
want to be able to look at the blank calendar for a new year or a new
week with something other than dread. You can train yourself to think
positively about your life and to live your days with hope and joy.
You can know quickly how you feel about the future simply by taking
out a blank calendar and seeing what kinds of emotions seeing its
blank pages evokes in you.
