Becoming

As we enter another year, maybe it would be helpful to remember what inspires us.  I am guessing that most of us appreciate those who have weathered storms, pressed in with grace and integrity in the face of difficulties, and developed character by believing a good outcome would eventually come if they did the right things now. 

The best outcomes usually don’t happen instantly.  Set your minds now for what kind of person you want to be in the year ahead, then do what it takes in the moment, even if it isn’t the most convenient or comfortable.  When next December arrives and we get to the last days of 2017 you will have more peace and be content in a deeper place for having lived well through whatever struggles come.  You will be stronger, wiser, more mature.  We will all have some difficulties.  Who will we become for having encountered them?
