While most are waiting for today (Happy New Year) to come around to hit the gym, to start eating better, to start that business, or change their lives in one of the thousand stereotypical ways people start each new year, know that every day could have been that start.
Every moment could have been that start. And this very moment can be that start.
There are many people that started a week ago. They didn't wait for "tomorrow".
There is no such thing as "tomorrow" - it is a very clever trick to get you to wait until an arbitrary future that will never be here.
So, while everyone is changing their lives today only to fall off the wagon by January 10th, the real way to change is to know that change is immediate, it all starts from a single decision to never go back to the old way you were living, and to take it one moment at a time.
For each moment is either a point that sets us on trajectory toward Heaven or Hell.
Every day can be January 1st. Every day could be the first day of the rest of your life.
Make the minutes count. Each and every single one of them.
It was in becoming a father that I started to see the value of a moment.
I plan not to waste any of them this year.
Are you with me?
