I DON'T Wish You a Happy New Year: New LIFE Resolutions Pt. 7
Because happiness is not enough...Because you can be confused and happy.
No. I don't wish you a Happy New Year. What I REALLY wish you...is a year of MEANINGFUL PROGRESS. PROGRESS. PROGRESS. A "kick butt-destiny changing-dream building-kick doors open" year.Now before you get all juiced up and fired up...I need to bring you down from cloud 9 and tell you the truth:YOU FACE A GRAVE DANGER THIS YEAR. Yes.You face:A cracked... ripped mind. An outright bursting of your mind. Madness. Madness clothed in nice clothes.That's the danger.That serious? Yes.About a month ago, wifey and I are driving on a trip and she suddenly brings up that parable that Jesus gave in Matthew 9:17 and I've been chewing s.l.o.w.l.y on it since. It says that:"No one puts new wine into old wineskins, or else, the wineskins break, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined.But they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved"
In the context of the New year,
Wine=Goals
Wineskin=Mindset
New wine=New Goals
Old wineskin=Old Mindset
New wine into old wineskin=Destruction and ruin of BOTH wine and wineskin
New wine into NEW wineskin=Preservation of BOTH wine and wineskin
Therefore;New goals into NEW mindset=Preservation of BOTH goals and mind.
In essence, you NEED a new mindset.
Here is the truth though:
You can't get a new mindset without proper introspection. You don't just decide to have a new mindset. You don't just wake up with it. You have to think deeply through it. You have to evaluate what your mindset was before...ask yourself the right questions, and have a brutally honest conversation with yourself about that old mindset in order for you to create a new one.
That is why I created the Life On Track Worksheet A powerful self-pacedvision session to create a God-anchored vision for your life, create the mission areas that drive it, and create the structure in your life that will make it a reality.It will probably take you a couple of hours of deep introspection (some have taken up to 5 days to complete this) but it will be a deeply meaningful exercise if you take it seriously. If you haven't already, click below to get yours.
BY THE WAY...INVESTING THE TIME (EVEN THOUGH SHORT) TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS, ALREADY REQUIRES A CHANGE IN MINDSET
This is where it all begins. If you are not willing to find to get your mind right, you might as well stop setting the goals.As always, I am here to support you and continuously help you on your journey to meet and be the best version of yourself.
