2010 just got dumped. Soooo 2011, how about those digits?

I'm THANKING GOD for letting me make it through another year. However, I must address the whole "New Years Cliché". Around the New Year season, almost everyone says, "This year is gonna be different than last year." Many people expect their mistakes to be somehow erased with the coming of January 1. Let's be serious. Not a thing will be different this year by just saying, "2011 is gonna be different." You're basically saying, "Blah blah blah." Simply talking is not gonna bring about change. If you're going to be passive, you're going to end up doing the same old routine, and New Year's Resolutions will be given up in a matter of weeks...or days. If you truly want 2011 to be a better year, you must be proactive in your decisions to change, or else, 2011 will be just another repeat.

So, I encourage you to be active this year. Make sure your resolutions don't falter by the wayside. Do your best to make yourself a better person! You can even look at The Optimist Creed as a starting guide if you have nothing planned.

Do whatever you have to do. Like Oprah Winfrey says, "Live your best life."

Have a great year!
