" The next 30 days are going to pass whether you like it or not. So why not think of something you have always wanted to try, and give it a shot for the next 30 days." - Matt Cutts
The other night my husband shared something with me that I know will change my life; or at least the way I view life. As a mother of 6 young children I often find myself in the "have to zone." I posted about this before. But after watching this less than 4 minute pep talk I was reminded that I can do ANYTHING if I want. The thought of trying something new often scares me. I am a creature of habit, I like to stay well inside my comfort zone. But I also itch.. I itch for new things. I LOVE to try new recipes, new craft projects, new piano songs, etc. but rarely give myself time for that. So this is it for me! My excuse so to speak. Now I don't really have any strong desires to go sky diving or cliff jumping. I don't really know what I have been "dying to try" as he puts it. But the thought remains the same. By setting a goal of focusing on one thing for 30 days; I can allow myself time to improve. That is what I ultimately want to do; improve.
My first 30 day challenge is simple. I hope to write a thank you note to someone who has touched my life recently. I think we live in a thankless world. I often think to myself how grateful I am for what people do for me, but do they know that? Now you may argue that they don't NEED to know that they blessed my life somehow, and that may be true. But I need it. I need to acknowledge the people who bless my life. Who knows, maybe you will be a recipient of one of those notes!
So that leaves me with just one question: What is your new 30 day challenge?
