Time of Reflection

I am back from New York. It was good to see family and friends and have a little fun. I also had some time to reflect on things while I was there. I realized that I have been holding on to too many stuff and not leaving room for new things to enter. It is amazing the shift that happens in your being the moment you realize that and make a conscious decision to let go.

This Friday, July 4th, is Independence Day here in the United States. Since seven is the number of completion and July represents the seventh month of the year. Why not let go of all the baggage, past relationships, and clutter and start fresh. In a past issue, I spoke about using an “Incomplete List.” Now is the time to start checking off those items on the list as being completed. If you take a little time to do things, make July the month to get your act together. Then, you can begin your new life on August 1st.

If you “fail” to accomplish what you set out to do for the month. Not a problem. Simply start again. Take a brief moment (notice I said a brief moment) to analyze what may have gone work and learn from any mistakes. Then work on a different strategy if necessary. The main thing is not to give up. A winner never quits and we are all winners.
