As the last day of this year comes to a close…. I’m thinking of how to send a wish of blessing and encouragement to you. Here are a few statements loosely connected to “new year wishes” that I find encouraging and inspiring.
Some healthy advice from the good doctor:
“Congratulations! Today is your day.
You’re off to Great Places! You’re off and away!
You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.”
– Dr. Seuss
A word of caution as we enter 2021?
“Good resolutions are simply checks that people draw on a bank where they have no account.”
– Oscar Wilde
Is it possible to be both this year?!
“An optimist stays up till midnight to see the New Year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.”
– Bill Vaughn
Sound advice as we set our goals for 2021!
“When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don’t adjust the goals; adjust the action steps.”
– Confucius
Perhaps the best word going forward…
Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
Do not depend on your own understanding.
Seek his will in all you do,
And he will show you which path to take.
– Proverbs 3:5-6
Wishing the very best to all of you
in 2021!
