An article by my friend Elele, U.A. Enjoy...
2018 will be better for those that cooperate with God.
It is simply one second after 11:59 pm on December 31.
A new sun doesn’t appear. No star drops. Rain doesn't fall for a second and go. Some people simply jump because they can now flip their calendar.
They believe that because they call it "new" that it will become "new". But just like no star falls, nothing really happens. It is only a continuation of the previous day.
If you decided to change somewhere in August, your life would have been better in August; same for September and November.
It is the decision/willingness to change that really makes people better. And this decision can be taken anytime.
A lot are in church now; others are waiting for "some words" to glue to their bibles, doors, and cars, a lot have oil applied to their faces. I remember how many wishes I got during my Matriculation. Everyone was happy, but few came around to ask me whether their wishes came through. If I had relied on those wishes, I wouldn't have graduated.
I believe in seasons: winter, summer, spring, and fall. I believe that some crops fair better in different seasons, but I know we are not crops. The difference is so clear.
For me, this is a gift of a new day. It is another opportunity to be better. It is a plain paper, and whatever we write, is what we will read tomorrow, until we realize and use the correction fluid.
Seasons may change our temperature, our health, our choice of clothes etc, but our attitude, our altitude, is determined not by seasons or many prayers.
But by solitary meditation, and comparing results to inputs, you be your judge and know whether to continue or change. This can be done anytime.
Albert Einstein: Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
Success is obedience to principles, not just hard work or prayers.
