I like to start each new year, and actually each new day, thinking about focus. I ask myself what will I spend my time focused on this day? Will it be something important or a total time drain? Will I expend my energy doing something meaningful and worthwhile?
Time and energy are very much in short supply lately. I find myself distracted and pulled in so many different directions by the day-to-day demands of life, not to mention the distractions of multiple streams of media promoting the latest cause célèbre.
I recently saw an internet meme via The Clergy Coaching Network that I think will serve me well as opposing voices demand allegiance in this highly polarized world that we find ourselves in today.
"The work will remain the work.
To love your neighbor.
To be generous with a stranger.
To protect the water, the air, the soil.
To heal old wounds.
To not make new ones.
The work remains the work.
In fact it has all become,
suddenly, even more important."
So, the work will remain the work! It's not so much a New Year's resolution, I'm not one to make or for that matter keep New Year's resolutions. It comes as more of a resolve to stay on track, to keep on keeping on as we used to say.
Keep the faith and keep on truck'n
Peace, Love and Light!
