The end of one year and the beginning of the next evokes thoughts about change i.e. resolutions.
I resolve to make changes in my life, stop doing this, start doing that hoping that my "will power" is strong enough to succeed in keeping my resolutions. Alas, I discover all too soon how fragile my "will power" really is. I am a creature of habit resistant to change but, change I must. It is one thing thing to have insight it is something else to integrate that insight into sustained behavioral change.
George Benson puts it beautifully:
Everything must change
Nothing stays the same
Everyone must change
No one stays the same
Nothing stays the same
Everyone must change
No one stays the same
The young become the old
And mysteries do unfold
Cause that's the way of time
Nothing and no one goes unchanged
And mysteries do unfold
Cause that's the way of time
Nothing and no one goes unchanged
There are not many things in life
You can be sure of
Except rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
And hummingbirds do fly
You can be sure of
Except rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
And hummingbirds do fly
Winter turns to spring
A wounded heart will heal
But never much too soon
Yes everything must change
But never much too soon
Yes everything must change
The young become the old
And mysteries do unfold
Cause that's the way of time
Nothing and no one goes unchanged
And mysteries do unfold
Cause that's the way of time
Nothing and no one goes unchanged
There are not many things in life
You can be sure of
Except rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
And butterflies do fly
You can be sure of
Except rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
And butterflies do fly
As I enter the next season of triathlon training I am mindful of growing inner change to sustain healthy external change during the next chapter of my journey. I'm empowered to "run on to see what the end is gonna be..."
HAPPY NEW YEAR
Peace & Blessing on Your Journey
