YOU ALMOST DID NOT RECEIVE THIs!
I wasn't going to send a tip this week. I thought that you would be too bombarded with "Happy New Year" messages, or with old e-mails you didn't want to deal with, to really enjoy a tip. And then I watched television this morning. It is Jan 5, 2009. Right now it's 11:45 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. I turned the TV on at 7:30 a.m. Since that time I have seen nothing but segments on New Year's resolutions, diets of the stars, or new exercises using your laundry basket. I have been told how to manage my money and my mail. Martha Stewart even told me my skin looks sallow and I need a new facial routine! Basically I feel terrible about myself.
THAT'S NOT THE WAY TO START THE NEW YEAR!
When I conducted a quick review of my archived Thriving Tips I realized that I have even encouraged you to make resolutions. But let's be clear about one thing just because we change our calendar and write a nine instead of an eight after all those zeros doesn't mean we should be told we are fundamentally bad.
YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH, RIGHT NOW!
You are doing so many wonderful things for yourself and other people. You probably made someone smile or feel better about themselves over the last month. Most likely, you gave a thoughtful gift to someone that made his or her day, or created a lifelong memory for someone you love. Perhaps you solved a problem that no else could or tackled a tough situation with grace and good spirit. You really are good enough right now!
Are there things to change? Of course! There will always be a "to-do list" to help you live a more successful life. But for today, the first day back to "normal" for many of you, "You are good enough! "
Enjoy 2009!
