Happy New Year's Eve! Well, it's almost time to turn those calendars again, so I thought it fitting to take a look back first. This is the time to reflect on our lives to be thankful for the blessings we received, and to look at what changes we can do to make our lives better.
One of the definitions of the word reflection is the production of an image by, as if by a mirror. A mirror, what a fitting place to start. When is the last time you really looked at yourself in the mirror? Do you like what you see? Are you proud of your accomplishments? Are you satisfied with your life? Do you find yourself surrounded by loved ones and many friends?
If any of those answers are not exactly what you are happy with, the place to start is with the reflection in the mirror. What can you do to make a difference in your life, or in the lives around you that you care for? Tomorrow is a new year, a new beginning. Change starts with you, no one else.
I've heard this quote several times from Mike Ditka, hall of fame coach of the Chicago Bears. "The past is history, tomorrow's a mystery, today is a gift, that's why they call it the present." Today is the day to start changing.
As water reflects a face,
so a man's heart reflects the man. Proverbs 27:19 (NIV)
