A New You, An Old You or the Same Ol’, Same Ol’?

You can choose to be a NEW YOU, or go back to the Old You from years gone by; OR choose to do the Same Ol’, Same Ol’ way of handling your goals, dreams and vision.

Yes, there is a difference between old and same ol’, same ol’. The Old You was growing and experiencing various things—probably aLOT of really bad things. However, the Same Ol’, Same Ol’ is still the old you but doing the same things over and over again finding yourself facing the same challenges from year to year. Repeating the procrastination, repeating the doubt in your mind, repeating the excuses you have managed to build up, and relying on them to keep you repeatedly operating in the same ol’, same ol’ just becomes useless, redundant and wasteful.

You can choose!

I have often done that myself, so do not think you are the only one or think you are a mess because you realize you have. It’s called LIFE and we live it year after year with the same choices from the title—New You, Old You or Same Ol’, Same Ol’. The key is that GOD ALWAYS allows us to CHOOSE which path to take. That choice is given to us year after year, birthday after birthday, and also day after each and every day.

We wake up with those choices. It is just a matter of whether it changes that day, that week, that month or even that year. Just remember that our same old unproductive choices are taking us away from advancing that day, that week, that month...and eventually becomes that year.

Is there a magic wand for this?

I wish there was a magic wand that knocked me in the head EVERY day to help me focus on making that choice and committing to it; I am sure you wish for the same. However, there is no such magic– only your SPIRIT can help jolt you into that preferred mindset of A NEW ME!

Choose a NEW ME every day! Each morning is a NEW DAY to start all over—again and again. And it starts with YOU being well with yourself and beginning EACH day with that thought. What can I do today to be BRAND NEW? How can I create a NEW circumstance that will help me fulfill THIS day, and that will impact the next NEW DAY, new week, new month or new YEAR? It is time we took a LONG-term view of the future and make the choice to not be an Old You—thinking and doing the Same Ol’, Same Ol’. Let us CHOOSE and ACT to be a New Me!

2021 – Let’s CHOOSE to make it your BEST year EVER and then repeat CHOOSING to make every year a better year again and again for all UPCOMING years to come.
