Sunday Story…this is

The year. The one where you finally do (fill in the blank). Yet all the years previous to this one you haven’t (fill in the blank). But this is the year. Finally, you will see it through. You will (fill in the blank).
Eat right
Lose 20 pounds
Quit smoking
Get Fit
Blah blah blah more uninspiring stuff.

Just stop already. We both know what the likely outcome of this is. I don’t need to tell you and you don’t need to look over the last few years to know.
Try this on for size…pick 1 fun thing you can do that will make someone else’s life better, more inspired, more something else. It isn’t for you; it has no consequence for you. You are going to do it because it will be both fun for you and create joy for someone else. Then do it as scheduled.

Here are some ideas:
Give your significant other 1 compliment a day
Tell your children you love them…at random times every day
Flirt with your spouse more
Write a personal note to someone every week expressing your gratitude to them

Sounds way more fun than the usual I’m going to lose 20 pounds this year only to blow it off by the 15th of January, doesn’t it? Just imagine how much richer your life will be if you spend a year doing 1 fun thing for someone else all year.
