The Making of 2021 (Or Any Year)!
When 2021 dawned many of us heaved a sigh of relief that 2020 was being left behind.
What can we learn from 2020? And what can we do going forward into 2021 and beyond?
Whether 2020 was a good or a bad year for you, YOU have the POWER TO CHOOSE how 2021 will be.
It’s very easy to forget that we have a choice when we get curveball after curveball.
But we DO have a choice and we get to DECIDE.
It doesn’t really matter where you are in the year, reading this, or in fact, if 2020 and 2021 are far distant memories.
Life happens all around us, all the time.
So, how can we make these difficult choices? How can we make this year, this month, this week, this day, better than the last one?
You see if we aren’t making things better, even by a small amount each day, you are in fact going backwards.
It’s one of the laws of thermodynamics. The second law to be precise.
The Law of Entropy.
I paraphrase it to simply state that without any external influence all things trend towards disorder (or chaos if you like that word).
And what that also means is that left to its own devices your life will also trend towards disorder or chaos. In some sense, our bodies do that as we age.
You could also simply say it as you are either green and growing or brown and dying.
If you think of a plant, if you leave it to its own devices without any external influence (sunshine and water), it will surely die. If you water it and make sure it gets sunshine – usually it will grow!
If you have been finding yourself, stuck and not sure what to do and doing nothing… then surely it is time to do something!
It is time to do something!
Now I don’t have a crystal ball for how this year or any year will turn out. All I do know is that I need to make sure I am constantly growing in myself, in my confidence, in my resilience, in my skills to fully participate in this world if I want to have a happy and fulfilling life.
Are you ready to make 2021 (or any other year, month, week, day) better than the last?
So, a gift I decided to give to 2021 was a fun little project I called:
One Small Thing – An Odyssey of 365 Small Things To Make 2021 Incredible.
Imagine the progress you could make in a year if you just did one small new thing a day and built on it.
We often grossly overestimate what we can do in a day, a week, a month or even a year. And grossly underestimate what we can achieve in a decade.
What if you could make small changes that added up through repetition and making it a habit?
What if you could break down what you need to work on, the things you haven’t been making progress on and just practice one small thing a day. Repeated daily until it becomes an unconscious action and you build the momentum effortlessly.
Join the party, invite your friends, and feel free to share freely, the more the merrier.
Commit today to look at the next step in front of you, make your day, your week, your month, your year and your life better one small thing at a time.
You can join us on our Facebook page for the daily inspirations (regardless of when you are reading this, you will be able to find the old posts) , share your experiences, get extra tips and support from the community.
