I\u2019ve met plenty of folks with backup plans, but I\u2019ve yet to meet anyone with a backup dream. Isn\u2019t that something? Maybe it\u2019s time to dust off those dreams and give them another go. Life is too short to keep bouncing from one backup plan to the next like we’re playing hopscotch backwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, let’s talk about some New Year Resolutions we should live by…..without regrets and without forgetting them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let Go of Mistakes
They happened. We learned. Now let them rest. Stop picking them up like souvenirs from a trip we never wanted to take. God\u2019s grace is big enough to cover every misstep, and last I checked, He\u2019s not holding them against us. Walk forward, not backward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Release the Resentments
We\u2019re still replaying that hurt like it\u2019s a hit song, but the person who hurt us? They\u2019re probably out there enjoying life, clueless. Why let them rent space in our heart when they didn\u2019t even ask for the key? Let’s free ourselves! Forgiveness isn\u2019t about them — it\u2019s about you and me stepping out of the prison of bitterness. Let it go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Save the Relationships That Matter
Not every relationship deserves CPR, but the ones that do? Breathe life back into them. As far as it depends on us — let’s determine to live at peace. Don\u2019t mirror their attitude; reflect God\u2019s love. If we\u2019ve got some wrongs to make right, let’s be the first to apologize. Humility goes a long way, and at the end of the day, we\u2019ll know we did our part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kick Self-Destructive Habits to the Curb
We all have that “thing” that tries to drag us down. Whether it\u2019s scrolling endlessly, eating what we shouldn\u2019t, blowing up over small stuff, or chasing things that never fill the void — enough is enough. We were made for more. God didn’t create us to live stuck in cycles of regret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I wrote this blog with one finger pointing at you and all my ten fingers pointing at me! Let’s get a real grip on the NEW YOU and NEW ME this year! Let’s stand tall, stand firm, and remember Whose we are. Victory starts with one small, brave step in the right direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s be done with those sad songs of “Why me?” and turn over a new leaf of dreaming again, living again, and trusting God’s big, open arms to carry us through a BEST-YEAR-EVER!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
