The Dawning of a New Day

It is the dawning of a new day. A day we have never seen and won't ever see again and it is our responsibility to make it the best day ever. You may be saying, "But Dr. VG you just don't know what I am dealing with." And you are absolutely correct I don't know the specifics of what you are dealing with. But it really doesn't matter because we are ALL dealing with things that others don't know about. So what!

To begin your new day start with no excuses. I'm not saying that you don't acknowledge what's going on in your life but you acknowledge it address it and keep it moving! Yes, I said it! Keep it moving! You have to have a no-nonsense approach to your life that keeps you moving forward even when you are still. When you find yourself still, then you have to use that time to THINK. Think about your choices, your decisions, your consequences, and your desired results. Think about what you've done, what you do, what you need to do, and what you will do.

Now that you've gotten rid of excuses and you have thought about what to do, you have to create a plan. Plan your next steps, next moves, next actions. Plan but don't get caught up in the planning because you will get paralyzed in the planning and never enact anything.

Next, you want to act on your plan. Do what you have to do. Step by step by step! Move! And keep moving until you look up and you have accomplished your goal. But it is not over when you accomplish your goal, because you have to CELEBRATE!

Celebrate your victories. Celebrate meeting your goals on your way to your larger goal. Celebrate your stick-to-itness when you stick to your plan. But don't get stuck celebrating because now you have new goals to set and heights to climb.

It is this continual process that keeps us alive and thriving. Never stop until the new days stop coming. Each dawn of a new day is a new opportunity to achieve greatness. Enjoy each new day and never take them for granted. You never know what is going to happen in this new day. So refuse to miss it by not engaging the day. Engage full on and watch God bless your engagement in the dawning of a new day! Enjoy!
